Nuts 10-24 Hex Nut SS (Jar 100)
Features
- Six-sided internally threaded fastener whose thickness is 0.875 D is the nominal nut size and 1.5 D is their width across the flats, made from austenitic alloys.
- Designed for use with stainless steel bolts and screws with a specified minimum tensile strength equal to or less than the specified proof stress of the mating nut. Both type of stainless are corrosion resistant with 316 stainless having greater such resistance as well as superior strength at raised temperatures.

Metallics JSN12316SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JSN12316SS hex nut thread onto a 10-24 machine screw?
Yes. The JSN12316SS is a 10-24 hex nut, so 24 threads per inch on a #10 machine screw thread. It will not fit 10-32, which is the other common #10 thread pitch, so confirm the screw pitch before ordering.
2) Is this a 304 or 316 stainless nut, and does it hold up outdoors or near salt water?
316 stainless steel. Compared with 304-type austenitic stainless, 316 gives greater corrosion resistance and better strength at raised temperatures, which is why it gets specified for coastal, wash-down, and chemical exposure. Hardness is Rockwell B80-C32.
3) What wrench or socket size fits this Metallics 10-24 stainless hex nut?
Width across the flats runs 0.362 to 0.375 in., which is a 3/8 inch wrench or socket. Across the corners it measures 0.413 to 0.433 in., and nut thickness is 0.117 to 0.130 in., so it is a thin profile that needs full thread engagement on the screw.
4) Can I use these stainless nuts with galvanized or plated steel bolts?
They are intended for stainless steel bolts and screws whose specified minimum tensile strength is equal to or less than the proof stress of the mating nut. Mixing 316 stainless with zinc-plated or galvanized steel in a wet location sets up galvanic action, so for outdoor work pair them with stainless fasteners.
5) How many nuts come in a jar, and is there a minimum order?
They ship 100 to a jar, and 100 count is the order minimum. Jar packaging keeps them contained on a service truck or in a parts bin rather than loose in a bag. Metallics offers other sizes and quantities by request.
6) Does this hex nut meet a recognized dimensional standard for spec work?
Dimensions follow ANSI/ASME B18.2.2, the standard for hex nuts, and the geometry matches it: thickness of 0.875 times the nominal nut size and width across flats of 1.5 times nominal. If your drawing calls out B18.2.2 for a 10-24 stainless nut, this answers it.
7) Are these Metallics stainless hex nuts ARRA and Buy American compliant for a government or institutional job?
The JSN12316SS is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American in Metallics' product data, with country of origin China. Procurement teams on federally funded work should take those compliance flags as the manufacturer's declaration and confirm against the specific clause in their contract.
8) What does a jar of 100 of these 10-24 stainless nuts weigh for shipping or truck stock?
0.38 lbs for the jar of 100, and the container measures 3 x 3 x 2.15 inches. Small enough to keep several sizes in one bin on a van.
