Metallics JSQ7G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the Metallics JSQ7G square nut?
It's a 5/16-18 square nut, so it threads onto 5/16 inch bolts and rods with 18 threads per inch (standard UNC coarse thread for that diameter). If your rod is 5/16-24 fine thread, this nut will not run on it.
2) Will the Metallics JSQ7G work with 5/16 threaded rod for hanging conduit and strut?
Yes, as long as the rod is 5/16-18. That is the standard coarse thread on 5/16 inch electrical hanger rod, so the galvanized JSQ7G pairs with it directly for strut, trapeze, and conduit support work.
3) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JSQ7G?
One hundred nuts per jar. The packaging is a jar rather than a loose bag, which is what keeps them sorted on a van or a shop bench when you are pulling a few at a time.
4) Are these 5/16 nuts galvanized for damp or outdoor locations?
Yes, the JSQ7G is galvanized. The zinc coating gives it corrosion resistance for damp interior runs, unheated spaces, and general outdoor electrical work. For continuous saltwater exposure you'd want stainless instead.
5) Why use a square nut instead of a hex nut on strut and channel?
A square nut has two parallel flats that can seat inside a channel or against a flange so it won't spin while you tighten from the other side, and the larger bearing face spreads load on sheet metal and wood better than a hex of the same thread. The JSQ7G is the 5/16-18 galvanized version. If you need to turn the nut itself with a socket in a tight spot, a hex nut is the easier choice.
6) What is the exact part number to order 5/16-18 galvanized square nuts from Metallics?
Order Metallics part number JSQ7G. That one number covers the 5/16-18 galvanized square nut in the 100-count jar; there are no finish or size variations under it.
