Metallics JNS166PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size are the Metallics JNS166PL hex nuts?
They are 1/2-13, meaning a 1/2 inch diameter with 13 threads per inch, which is the standard UNC coarse thread for that size. They mate with any 1/2-13 bolt, rod, or threaded stud.
2) Will these nuts work on 1/2 inch threaded rod for hanging conduit and strut?
Yes. 1/2-13 is the thread cut on standard 1/2 inch all-thread rod, so the JNS166PL hex nuts thread straight onto it for trapeze hangers, strut mounting, and beam clamp work. They are a plain steel nut, so for damp or exterior runs use a plated or galvanized nut instead.
3) Are the Metallics 1/2-13 hex nuts plated or bare steel?
Bare steel, plain finish, with no zinc or galvanized coating. That is fine for dry interior work and for assemblies that get painted, but plain steel will rust in damp, exterior, or washdown locations. For those, specify a zinc plated or hot dip galvanized 1/2-13 hex nut.
4) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JNS166PL?
50 nuts per jar. They ship in a jar rather than a bag or box, which is the handier pack for a van shelf or a shop bench since the lid reseals and the count stays intact.
5) Is this a lock nut or a plain finished hex nut?
It is a plain hex nut with no nylon insert and no distorted thread, so it does not resist vibration on its own. For connections that see vibration, back it up with a second nut as a jam nut, a lock washer, or step to a nylon insert lock nut in 1/2-13.
6) What is the correct Metallics part number to reorder these 1/2-13 hex nuts?
Order Metallics JNS166PL. That number covers the 1/2-13 plain steel hex nut in the 50 count jar, and it is the only configuration the part number carries.
7) What wrench or socket size fits a 1/2-13 hex nut?
A standard 1/2-13 hex nut takes a 3/4 inch wrench or socket across the flats. Keep that size on hand if you are installing the JNS166PL on rod hangers or strut.
