Metallics JSQ12G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the Metallics JSQ12G square nut?
The JSQ12G is a 7/8-9 square nut, so it threads onto 7/8 inch diameter rod or bolt with 9 threads per inch. That is the standard UNC coarse pitch for 7/8 inch, so it mates with 7/8-9 all-thread rod and coarse-thread bolts, not with fine-thread 7/8-14.
2) Is the JSQ12G nut galvanized for outdoor or damp-location use?
Yes, it's a galvanized 7/8-9 square nut, which is the usual choice for exterior strut, rod hanging and other damp-location electrical work where a plain steel nut would rust. Pair it with galvanized rod and washers so you aren't mixing coatings on the same assembly.
3) Why use a square nut instead of a hex nut on 7/8 inch rod?
A square nut gives you more flat bearing surface against the material, so it seats better on wood, channel and strut and is less likely to spin or pull through than a hex nut of the same thread. It also catches in a channel or a slot and holds while you turn the bolt from the other side. If you need to run a wrench on it in tight quarters or you're stacking nuts on threaded rod for a jam nut, a hex is easier to turn. Thread is the same 7/8-9 coarse either way.
4) How many nuts come in the Metallics JSQ12G pack?
It ships as a jar of 25 nuts. That's one package quantity, not an each, so an order of one gets you 25 pieces of the 7/8-9 galvanized square nut.
5) What is the exact part number to order a 7/8-9 galvanized square nut from Metallics?
Order Metallics part number JSQ12G. It is the 7/8-9 square nut in galvanized finish, supplied in a 25 piece jar.
