Metallics N165PL3M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the Metallics N165PL3M hex nut?
It is a 3/8-16 hex nut, so it threads onto 3/8 inch coarse-thread rod, bolts, or screws with 16 threads per inch. If your rod is 3/8-24 fine thread, this nut will not run on it.
2) Are these Metallics hex nuts plated or plain steel?
Plain steel, unplated. That makes them a dry-interior choice only, for things like indoor strut, hanger rod, and panel mounting. For damp locations, outdoors, or anywhere subject to washdown, order galvanized or zinc-plated nuts instead, because bare steel will rust.
3) Will a 3/8-16 hex nut work with 3/8 inch threaded rod for hanging electrical and HVAC supports?
Yes. Standard 3/8 inch all-thread hanger rod is 3/8-16 coarse thread, which is what this Metallics nut is cut for, so it runs on common rod used for strut trapeze, conduit hangers, and fixture support. Pair it with a washer where you are bearing on strut or sheet metal.
4) How many nuts come in the Metallics N165PL3M pack?
3,000 pieces per pack. It is a bulk contractor quantity rather than a small bag, so it suits a shop or warehouse stocking 3/8-16 nuts for ongoing hanger rod and strut work rather than a one-off repair.
5) What is the Metallics part number for the 3/8-16 plain steel hex nut in bulk?
N165PL3M is the Metallics number for the 3/8-16 plain steel hex nut supplied 3,000 per pack. Quote that number when matching a submittal or reordering the same nut.
