Metallics JN160YZ – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the Metallics JN160YZ hex nut, and what screws does it mate with?
It's an 8-32 hex nut, so it threads onto any #8-32 machine screw, which is the standard thread on device mounting screws, cover plate screws, and box-mounted hardware. Mixing it with a #8 sheet metal or wood screw won't work, those aren't machine threads.
2) Are these 8-32 nuts plated for corrosion resistance?
They're steel with a yellow zinc plating, which gives a chromate-style corrosion barrier for indoor and protected electrical work. For direct outdoor exposure or wet locations, a stainless or hot dip galvanized nut is the better call.
3) How many nuts come in the Metallics JN160YZ, and how are they packaged?
100 nuts per jar. The jar pack is what keeps them from scattering in a van drawer or on a cart, which is why it's the common format for small-fastener restock on service trucks.
4) What part number do I order for Metallics 8-32 yellow zinc hex nuts?
The manufacturer part number is JN160YZ from Metallics. That single number covers the 8-32 steel yellow zinc hex nut in the 100-count jar.
5) Can I use these hex nuts for grounding screws and panel hardware in electrical work?
They're stocked as electrical fasteners and the 8-32 thread is the same thread used on grounding screws and most device and panel hardware, so they match that work. Note it's a plain hex nut, not a locknut or a nut with a captive washer, so if your application vibrates or has to hold without a lock washer, specify a locking style instead.
6) Do I need a separate washer with these 8-32 hex nuts?
Yes, if your assembly needs one. The JN160YZ is a bare hex nut only, with no flange, washer, or nylon insert, so flat washers, lock washers, or the matching 8-32 machine screws are separate line items on your order.
