Metallics SN16V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are these stainless hex nuts okay for outdoor or damp electrical work?
They are 18-8 stainless steel, the austenitic grade commonly used where plated carbon steel would rust, so they hold up in damp interiors, exterior strut and rod runs, and wash-down areas. 18-8 is not the grade to pick for marine salt exposure or heavy chloride environments, where 316 stainless is the usual step up.
2) How many nuts come in the Metallics SN16V pack?
Each SN16V pack holds 500 nuts. That is a bulk box aimed at a shop or a job trailer running 3/8-16 threaded rod for conduit trapeze hangers, strut, and fixture supports, rather than a handful for a single device.
3) Will these 18-8 stainless nuts work with 3/8 inch stainless threaded rod on a conduit trapeze?
Yes, provided the rod is 3/8-16 coarse thread. Matching 18-8 nuts to stainless rod also keeps the assembly in one metal family, which avoids pairing stainless with plated steel in a wet location. The nut is a finished hex pattern, so a standard 9/16 inch wrench or socket size applies to 3/8-16 finished hex nuts.
4) What is the difference between a finished hex nut and a heavy hex nut for 3/8 inch rod?
A finished hex nut, which is what the SN16V is, uses the standard across-flats dimension and thickness for its thread size and is the everyday choice for hanger rod, strut, and equipment mounting. A heavy hex nut is wider and thicker for structural bolting and higher clamp loads, and it needs a larger wrench. For routine 3/8-16 electrical support work the finished hex is the normal spec.
