Metallics JMTLN06 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics JMTLN06 kep nut take?
It's an M6 nut, so it threads onto M6 metric bolts, screws and studs with a standard coarse metric thread. It will not run onto an inch-series fastener such as a 1/4-20, so if your bolt stock is imperial you need a different nut.
2) What is a kep nut and when would I use one instead of a plain hex nut?
A kep nut (also called a K-lock or washer-lock nut) is a hex nut with a free-spinning toothed washer captive under the flange. As you tighten, the teeth bite into the mounting surface and resist loosening from vibration, and you don't have to handle a separate washer. The JMTLN06 is the M6 version. Use a plain hex nut plus washer only where you need a non-marring surface, since the teeth do score paint and plated panels.
3) Are these nuts plated for corrosion resistance, and are they OK outdoors?
The JMTLN06 is steel with a zinc plating, which is a standard finish for dry indoor and protected electrical work, panels, strut and enclosure assembly. Zinc plating is not a marine or sustained wet-location finish, so for exposed exterior or damp runs choose a hot-dip galvanized or stainless fastener instead.
4) Do I need to add a separate lock washer with these M6 nuts?
No. The locking washer is already built into the nut and spins freely on the body, so one nut finishes the joint. That is the main reason electricians stock kep nuts for panel and device mounting: fewer loose parts to drop when you are working overhead.
5) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JMTLN06?
Each jar holds 100 M6 kep nuts. The jar pack is the usual format for van stock and shop bins, since it keeps small fasteners from spilling across a gang box.
6) What is the exact part number to order for the Metallics M6 kep nut?
Order Metallics JMTLN06. That number covers the M6 hex kep lock nut in zinc plated steel, supplied in the 100 count jar.
