Metallics JSQ8G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size are the Metallics JSQ8G square nuts?
The Metallics JSQ8G is a 3/8-16 square nut in a galvanized finish. Match it to 3/8 inch rod or bolt with 16 threads per inch, which is the common coarse pitch used on 3/8 inch threaded rod for strut, hanger, and conduit support work.
2) Can I use Metallics JSQ8G square nuts with 3/8 inch strut and conduit hangers?
Yes, as long as the hardware is 3/8-16. These square nuts thread onto 3/8 inch coarse rod and bolts, which is the standard size for strut channel nuts, beam clamps, and conduit hanger rod in commercial electrical installs. They will not fit 1/4-20 or 1/2-13 hardware.
3) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JSQ8G?
Each jar holds 100 of the 3/8-16 galvanized square nuts. Pack type is a jar, so it ships as a single counted container rather than loose bulk, which keeps them sorted on a service truck or in a parts bin.
4) Why use a square nut instead of a hex nut on threaded rod hangers?
A square nut gives you more bearing surface against the part and four flats that resist spinning, so it seats well in channel, strut, and slotted hardware where a hex nut would turn. The JSQ8G is the 3/8-16 galvanized version, sized for standard 3/8 inch rod support work.
5) Is the galvanized finish on the JSQ8G nut suitable for damp or outdoor electrical work?
Galvanized is a zinc coating meant to slow corrosion, so these 3/8-16 square nuts hold up better than plain steel in damp locations, unheated spaces, and covered exterior runs. For continuous saltwater or chemical exposure, stainless is the usual step up.
