Metallics JNYN162SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics JNYN162SS nylon insert lock nut take?
It is a 10-32 nut, meaning a #10 screw at 32 threads per inch, cut to the ANSI/ASME B1.1 thread standard. So it mates with any standard #10-32 machine screw or stud, including the 10-32 screws used on electrical device boxes and ground screws.
2) Is this stainless locknut Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JNYN162SS 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 is not the part to submit.
3) Do I still need a lock washer with a nylon insert locknut?
No. The nylon collar inside the nut grips the bolt threads and resists loosening on its own, which eliminates the need for a lockwasher. One nut per joint instead of a nut plus washer.
4) Will stainless nylon insert locknuts hold up in high vibration, and can they be used outdoors?
High vibration is exactly what they are intended for, along with electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work. The body is 18-8 stainless steel, so corrosion resistance is good for damp and exterior-adjacent locations. Keep in mind the nylon insert sets a temperature ceiling, so this is not the nut for flue, boiler, or other high-heat contact points.
5) What wrench or socket size fits a 10-32 nylon insert locknut?
Across the flats the nut measures 0.367 to 0.376 in., so a 3/8 inch wrench or socket is the right tool. Overall nut height runs 0.229 to 0.249 in. Useful if you are working in a tight box or channel and need to know clearance before you commit.
6) Does the Metallics JNYN locknut meet a recognized dimensional standard for spec work?
Yes, it is built to ASME B18.16.6, the dimensional standard for prevailing-torque lock nuts, with threads to ANSI/ASME B1.1. That pair of references is usually enough to satisfy a submittal that calls out a standard hex nylon insert locknut.
7) How many 10-32 stainless locknuts come in a jar, and is there a minimum order?
The JNYN162SS ships as a jar of 100 nuts, and the jar is the minimum order unit. Other sizes and quantities are available by request if you need a different thread size or a larger count for a standardized stock room.
8) Can these be reused if I take the assembly apart?
Nylon insert locknuts are prevailing-torque fasteners, and the nylon deforms around the threads on first installation, so holding torque drops with each reuse. For anything that matters structurally or electrically, back out the old one and run a fresh nut. Buying by the 100-count jar is what makes that practical.
9) How hard is the 18-8 stainless on these locknuts, and will it gall on a stainless bolt?
Hardness runs Rockwell B95 to C35. Stainless on stainless is prone to galling, so run the nut on slowly, avoid impact tools, and use an anti-seize on larger or long-engagement joints. The nylon collar already adds drag, which can read as thread binding if you are driving fast.
