Metallics JSN17 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JSN17 hex nut take, and will it fit 12-24 machine screws?
The JSN17 is a 12-24 hex nut: 24 threads per inch, UNC, right-hand thread, made to ANSI/ASME B18.2.2. It threads onto any standard #12-24 UNC machine screw or bolt, which is the thread used on most electrical box and enclosure screws. It will not fit a #12-28 fine thread or a metric M6.
2) Are these hex nuts stainless, and can I use them outdoors or in a damp location?
They are 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, the standard corrosion-resistant grade for exterior, wet, and washdown work. 18-8 is non-magnetic in the annealed condition and holds up far better than zinc-plated steel on outdoor conduit racks, rooftop supports, and damp-location enclosures. For salt spray or chemical exposure, 316 stainless is the step up.
3) Do these nuts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a federal or publicly funded job?
The JSN17 hex nut is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA, which is what a government, school district, or municipal procurement office needs to see on the submittal. Country of origin is listed as multiple.
4) How many nuts come in a jar, and is there a minimum order?
The JSN17 ships as a jar of 100 nuts, and 100 count is the order minimum, so one jar is the smallest buy. Filled jar weight is about 0.6 lbs. Jar packaging keeps them from scattering in a gang box or on a service cart, which is why it is the common format for MRO stock.
5) Will these stainless hex nuts hold up for structural or high-torque pulls, or are they just for light enclosure work?
Hardness is Rockwell B80 to C32, which is typical for 18-8 stainless fasteners. That makes them suitable for general electrical mounting, strut, grounding hardware, and enclosure assembly. Stainless of this grade is chosen for corrosion resistance rather than for maximum strength, so where a job calls out a Grade 5 or Grade 8 steel nut on a drawing, substitute a stainless one only if the spec allows it.
6) Are the dimensions of this 12-24 hex nut standard, or is it an oversized pattern?
Standard pattern. The nut is built to American Standard dimensions under ANSI/ASME B18.2.2, with thickness at 0.875 times the nominal nut size and width across the flats at 1.5 times nominal. Head width is 0.423 to 0.438 inch. So it interchanges with any other B18.2.2 12-24 hex nut already on the job and seats in standard counterbores and nut clips.
