Metallics JN162BR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JN162BR brass hex nut thread onto a 10-32 machine screw?
Yes. The JN162BR is a 10-32 hex nut, meaning a #10 diameter with 32 threads per inch, cut to ANSI/ASME B1.1. That is the standard Unified fine thread used on 10-32 machine screws, ground screws and device screws, so it mates with any 10-32 male thread.
2) Do Metallics JN162BR brass hex nuts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a public project?
No. These brass hex nuts are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your job carries a domestic-sourcing clause, this is not the nut for it.
3) What size wrench or socket do I need for these 10-32 brass hex nuts?
Across the flats the nut measures 0.362 to 0.375 inch, so a 3/8 inch wrench, socket or nut driver is the right tool. Overall corner-to-corner width runs 0.413 to 0.433 inch and nut height is 0.117 to 0.130 inch, dimensions held to ASME B18.2.2.
4) Why use a brass hex nut instead of a steel one on electrical work?
Brass is the usual choice where the connection is electrical rather than purely structural. The JN162BR is solid brass, which conducts and resists corrosion, so it suits grounding and bonding hardware, panel and enclosure work, and damp locations where a plain steel nut would rust. Metallics lists it for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work.
5) How are the Metallics JN162BR nuts packaged, and is there a minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and the jar is the minimum order unit, so 100 is the smallest quantity. Jar weight is 0.38 lbs. Other sizes and quantities can be had by request.
6) Is the JN162BR a finished hex nut built to a recognized dimensional spec, or a generic nut?
It is dimensioned to ASME B18.2.2, the standard that governs hex nut proportions, with threads to ANSI/ASME B1.1. That matters if you are standardizing a stockroom: any 3/8 inch wrench fits, and the nut will stack and seat the same as any other B18.2.2 10-32 hex nut you already have on the shelf.
