Metallics JNYN161SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics JNYN161SS nylon insert lock nut take?
It is a 10-24 nut, meaning a #10 screw at 24 threads per inch, cut to the ANSI/ASME B1.1 thread standard. So it mates with standard #10-24 coarse machine screws, bolts, and threaded studs. It will not run onto a #10-32 fine thread screw, so check the screw you are working with before ordering.
2) Will these hold up outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The nut body is 18-8 stainless steel, which is the standard corrosion-resistant austenitic grade used for outdoor and wet-location fastening. For chloride exposure (coastal or heavy chemical wash-down) a 316 stainless nut is the step up. One thing to watch: the nylon insert sets a service temperature limit, so these are not the choice for high-heat applications.
3) Do these nylon insert locknuts meet a recognized dimensional spec for submittals?
Dimensionally they are built to ASME B18.16.6, the standard covering prevailing-torque lock nuts, with threads to ANSI/ASME B1.1. Material hardness is listed at Rockwell B95-C35. Note for public work: the nut is not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple, so it will not clear a domestic-content requirement.
4) Do I still need a lock washer with a nylon insert lock nut?
No. The nylon collar inside the nut grips the screw threads and does the job a lock washer would, so you can leave the washer out of the stack. That also keeps the overall assembly shorter, which helps on strut and channel work where thread length is tight.
5) Why use a nylon insert locknut instead of a plain hex nut on vibrating equipment?
Vibration is exactly what this is for. The listed field applications are areas of high vibration plus electrical, plumbing, and heating and air conditioning work. A plain hex nut backs off under cyclic load; the nylon collar deforms around the threads and resists that loosening. Typical uses are rooftop units, fan and blower mounts, pump bases, and strut-mounted conduit runs.
6) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JNYN161SS, and is there an order minimum?
They ship in a jar of 100, and the jar is the order unit, so 100 pieces is the minimum. The packed jar weighs 0.53 lbs. Other sizes and quantities in the JNYN series are available by request if 10-24 is not the size you need.
7) Can a nylon insert locknut be reused after I take it apart?
Treat it as limited-reuse. The nylon collar in the JNYN nut works by deforming around the screw threads, and each removal cuts into its grip, so for anything carrying load or sitting in a high-vibration spot put a fresh nut on. Buying by the jar of 100 is what makes that practical on service work.
