Metallics JN163G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JN163G hex nut thread onto a 1/4-20 bolt or threaded rod?
Yes. The JN163G is a 1/4-20 hex nut, 20 threads per inch, so it runs onto any standard 1/4-20 UNC bolt, screw, or 1/4-20 threaded rod. That is the common coarse thread for 1/4 inch fasteners, so it mates with off-the-shelf 1/4-20 strut hardware and hanger rod.
2) Does the Metallics JN163G hex nut meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The JN163G 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 nut will not satisfy it and you need a domestic-manufacture hex nut instead.
3) Is a galvanized hex nut okay for damp or outdoor electrical work?
The JN163G is steel with a galvanized finish, which is the usual choice for damp locations and exterior conduit or strut work where plain steel would rust. For direct salt spray or chemical exposure, stainless is the better call. Hardness runs Rockwell B68 to C32.
4) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JN163G?
Each jar holds 100 nuts, and the jar is the minimum order quantity. The jar packaging keeps loose nuts contained on a service truck rather than scattered in a bin.
5) How much thread does a 1/4-20 galvanized hex nut take up on a rod?
The JN163G stands 0.212 to 0.226 inches tall, so each nut consumes roughly a quarter inch of rod or bolt projection. Useful when you are stacking a nut and a lock nut on short hanger rod and need to know how much stickout to leave.
6) What trades use the Metallics JN jar-pack hex nuts?
These are stocked for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work, typical uses being strut and channel assemblies, conduit hangers, equipment mounting, and anywhere a 1/4-20 fastener is being made up in the field. One jar covers a truck for a long time.
7) Can I get the Metallics JN hex nuts in other sizes or pack quantities?
Yes, other sizes and quantities in the JN hex nut series are available by request. The JN163G itself is the 1/4-20 galvanized nut in a 100-count jar.
8) How much does a jar of 100 1/4-20 galvanized hex nuts weigh?
The jar comes in at 0.81 lbs. Easy enough to keep several sizes on the van without any real weight penalty.
