Additional Notes
- Other sizes and quantities available by request
Features
- 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.
- 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.

Metallics JSN13316SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JSN13316SS hex nut take, and what size wrench fits it?
It's a 10-32 machine screw thread, 32 threads per inch, made to ANSI/ASME B18.2.2 dimensions. Width across the flats runs 0.362 to 0.375 inch, so a 3/8 inch wrench or socket seats on it. Overall width across corners is 0.413 to 0.433 inch and the nut height is 0.117 to 0.130 inch, which matters if you are counter-sinking it or working in a tight channel.
2) Is this a 18-8 nut or true 316 stainless?
316 stainless steel, not 18-8. That's the grade you want for coastal, wash-down, water treatment, or chemical exposure, and it holds strength better at elevated temperature than 18-8. If your job spec just says "stainless," 316 satisfies it; if the spec calls out 316 or A4 specifically, 18-8 nuts will not.
3) Can I use these stainless nuts with grade 5 or grade 8 steel bolts?
No, and this is the common mistake. These are made for stainless steel bolts and screws whose minimum tensile strength is equal to or less than the proof stress of the nut. Thread a soft austenitic stainless nut onto a hardened grade 5 or grade 8 bolt and the nut threads strip before the bolt reaches torque. Hardness here is Rockwell B80-C32. Pair the nut with stainless fasteners, and also avoid mixing stainless nuts on plain steel bolts where galvanic corrosion is a concern.
4) How many nuts come in a jar, and is there a minimum order?
Each jar holds 100 of the 10-32 316 stainless hex nuts, and 100 count is the order minimum, so one jar is the smallest buy. Shipping weight on the jar is 0.36 lbs. For MRO cribs the jar packaging is handy on a shelf; if you need a different size or a larger count, other sizes and quantities are available by request.
5) Do these 10-32 hex nuts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a federal job?
The JSN13316SS carries both an ARRA compliant and a Buy American compliant designation in the product record, with country of origin listed as China. On federally funded work, give both of those to your specifier before you submit, since the compliance pathway depends on the clause your contract cites.
6) Is this a finished hex nut or a jam nut?
It's a standard six-sided internally threaded hex nut, thickness 0.875 times the nominal size and width across the flats 1.5 times the nominal size, made from austenitic stainless alloy. That's full finished-hex proportion, not a thin jam nut. If you need a thinner nut to lock a first one in place, that is a different part.
