Metallics JN171BR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JN171BR brass hex nut thread onto 1/2-13 all-thread rod?
Yes. The JN171BR is a 1/2-13 hex nut, 13 threads per inch, cut to the ANSI/ASME B1.1 thread standard, so it runs onto standard 1/2 inch coarse (UNC) threaded rod, bolts and hanger rod.
2) Is this hex nut dimensionally interchangeable with a steel 1/2-13 hex nut?
It is made to ASME B18.2.2, the same dimensional standard steel hex nuts are built to, so the flats, height and hex are interchangeable with any other B18.2.2 1/2-13 nut. The difference is material: this one is brass, not plated steel.
3) How many brass hex nuts come in a jar of JN171BR, and is there a minimum order?
Each jar holds 50 nuts. The order minimum is 100 count, so you are buying in multiples that work out to two jars at a time.
4) Does this brass hex nut qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
The JN171BR is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA requirements. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your specifying authority wants a single named origin on the submittal, confirm the origin on the lot you receive.
5) What wrench or socket size fits a 1/2-13 brass hex nut like the JN171BR?
Across the flats the nut measures 0.736 to 0.750 in., which is a 3/4 inch wrench or socket. Corner to corner it runs 0.840 to 0.866 in., and height is 0.427 to 0.448 in., so it clears in standard strut and channel work.
6) Why use a brass nut instead of a galvanized or zinc plated one?
Brass is the choice where you need corrosion resistance and a non-magnetic, conductive fastener, which is why this one is catalogued for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work. Common uses are grounding and bonding connections, brass rod and brass fittings, and damp locations where a plated steel nut will rust and seize.
7) How much does a jar of 1/2-13 brass hex nuts weigh for shipping?
A jar comes in at 3.96 lbs with packaging measuring 3 x 3 x 3.6 in. Useful if you are ordering several jars to a jobsite trailer or building a stock kit.
8) Can I get the Metallics JN brass hex nuts in other thread sizes or pack quantities?
Yes. JN171BR is the 1/2-13 in a 50 count jar, and other sizes and quantities in the JN series are available by request, which is the route to take if you are standardizing a parts crib on brass hardware rather than buying one size.
