Metallics JN161BR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the JN161BR nut brass or plated steel?
Solid brass, not plated. That matters where you need corrosion resistance or a non-magnetic, conductive fastener, such as grounding and bonding connections or damp locations where a zinc-plated steel nut would rust out.
2) Does the Metallics JN161BR meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a public project?
No. The JN161BR brass hex nut is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your job carries a domestic-content clause, this part will not satisfy it.
3) Will a 10-24 nut work on a 10-32 screw?
No. 10-24 and 10-32 share the #10 diameter but not the pitch, and forcing one onto the other strips the thread. The JN161BR is 24 threads per inch only. If your screws are 10-32, which is common on device and ground screws, you need a 10-32 nut instead.
4) What wrench or socket size fits a 10-24 brass hex nut from Metallics?
The hex measures 0.362 to 0.375 inch across the flats, which is a 3/8 inch wrench or socket. Across the corners it runs 0.413 to 0.433 inch, so allow that much clearance in a tight box or channel.
5) How thick is the nut? I need to know how much screw thread to leave.
Nut height runs 0.117 to 0.130 inch. Figure roughly an eighth of an inch of screw projecting past the material, plus a thread or two, for full engagement. Dimensions follow ASME B18.2.2, the standard for hex nuts, so it interchanges with any other B18.2.2 10-24 nut.
6) How many nuts come in a jar of JN161BR and can I buy fewer?
They ship as a jar of 100, and the jar is the minimum order unit. The filled jar weighs 0.38 lbs. Other sizes and quantities can be had by request.
7) What trades actually use these brass hex nuts?
They're stocked for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work. Typical uses are fastening device and panel hardware on 10-24 machine screws, strut and channel assemblies, and grounding hardware where brass is preferred over plated steel.
