Metallics JN156BR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch is the Metallics JN156BR hex nut?
The JN156BR is a 12-24 hex nut: a #12 machine screw thread with 24 threads per inch, right hand, UNC coarse series, made to ANSI/ASME B1.1. It will thread onto any standard 12-24 machine screw or ground screw, which is the common thread on steel electrical boxes and device straps.
2) Are these nuts made to a standard dimension so they interchange with what is already in my kit?
Yes. The JN156BR is built to ASME B18.2.2, the American standard for nut dimensions, with threads to ANSI/ASME B1.1. Any other 12-24 UNC nut or screw made to those same standards will mate with it, so you can mix them into existing stock without sorting.
3) Will a 12-24 nut fit a 10-32 screw?
No. 12-24 and 10-32 are different diameters and different pitches, so the JN156BR will not thread onto a 10-32 screw and cross-threading one onto the other ruins both. Check the screw: 10-32 is the common thread on device mounting screws, while 12-24 is typical of box and ground screws. Match the marking on the screw before you order.
4) Why use a brass nut instead of a steel or zinc-plated one on electrical work?
The JN156BR is solid brass, so it is non-ferrous and corrosion resistant, which is why brass hardware is the usual pick for grounding and bonding connections and for damp or coastal locations where plated steel rusts and loses continuity. If your application is dry, structural, and needs higher tensile strength, a steel nut is the better choice.
5) Does the Metallics JN156BR meet Buy American requirements for a government job?
It is flagged both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in the Metallics data, which is what a public agency or institutional procurement file typically asks for. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your spec requires a single named origin on the submittal, request origin confirmation on the specific lot.
6) How many 12-24 brass nuts come in a jar, and can I buy fewer?
JN156BR ships as a jar of 100 nuts, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit sold. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request if 100 of this size is not what your job needs.
7) What does a jar of 100 Metallics 12-24 brass nuts weigh for a van or shelf stock order?
A full jar runs 0.65 lbs, and the jar itself is 3 inches square by 2.15 inches tall, so it drops into a standard parts bin or a fastener drawer on the truck without repackaging.
