Metallics JN161D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JN161D hex nut thread onto a 10-24 machine screw?
Yes. The JN161D is a 10-24 hex nut, so it mates with any #10 machine screw cut at 24 threads per inch, which is the standard coarse thread for that screw size. Thread form follows ASME B18.2.2.
2) Do Metallics JN161D nuts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The JN161D is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic sourcing clause, this nut will not satisfy it.
3) Will a 10-24 nut work with the 10-32 screws in my panel?
No. The JN161D is cut 24 threads per inch, and a 10-32 screw needs a 32 TPI nut. Forcing one onto the other strips the thread. Match the TPI to the screw, and note that other sizes are available by request.
4) Are these zinc plated steel nuts okay for outdoor or wet locations?
The JN161D is zinc plated steel. Zinc handles dry indoor service and incidental moisture fine, but it is not a stainless or hot dip part, so for sustained outdoor exposure, wet locations, or corrosive environments specify stainless instead.
5) How many 10-24 nuts come in a jar, and can I buy fewer than 100?
They ship in a jar of 100 and 100 count is the order minimum, so a jar is the smallest buy. Other sizes and quantities can be had by request.
6) Is this hex nut strong enough for mounting electrical boxes and fixture hardware?
Hardness runs Rockwell B80 to C32 on zinc plated steel, which is the normal range for general purpose machine screw nuts used on box mounting, strut hardware, panel and fixture assembly. It is a general fastening nut, not a graded structural nut.
