Metallics JWN6SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics JWN6SS wing nut take?
The JWN6SS is a 1/4-20 wing nut, so it threads onto 1/4 inch bolts, rods or studs with 20 threads per inch (standard UNC coarse for that diameter). It will not run onto 1/4-28 fine thread hardware.
2) Are these stainless wing nuts OK for outdoor or damp locations?
They're made from 18-8 stainless steel, which is the austenitic 300 series grade used for general corrosion resistance, so they hold up in wet and outdoor work far better than plated steel. For strut, conduit hangers and unistrut-type assemblies exposed to weather, that's the material you want.
3) Will these wing nuts qualify on a Buy American or ARRA job?
No. The JWN6SS is flagged non-compliant for both Buy American and ARRA, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded job with domestic sourcing requirements, you'll need a documented domestic-origin fastener instead.
4) How many wing nuts come in a jar of Metallics JWN6SS, and can I buy less?
They ship as a jar of 100, and the jar is the minimum order unit, so 100 pieces is the smallest quantity. Metallics lists other sizes and quantities as available by request.
5) When should I use a wing nut instead of a standard hex nut?
Use a stamped wing nut where the joint gets taken apart again: covers, guards, temporary supports, access panels. It's made for rapid hand assembly and disassembly with no wrench. For a permanent, torqued structural connection, a hex nut (with a lock washer or a nylon-insert lock nut) is the right call, since a hand-tightened wing nut can't be brought to a specified torque.
6) Is the Metallics JWN6SS a cast wing nut or a stamped one?
It's a stamped (sheet-formed) wing nut, built to ANSI/ASME B18.17, with wing material 0.21 to 0.25 inches thick. Stamped wings have a flatter profile than cast or forged wing nuts, which matters if your print calls out a specific type or you need the lower profile in tight spots.
7) What trades actually use the Metallics JWN6 stainless wing nut?
Metallics lists it for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work. Typical use is on 1/4-20 threaded rod or strut hardware where a fitter or electrician needs to pull something apart by hand later, and the stainless keeps it serviceable in mechanical rooms and outdoor runs.
8) How much does a jar of 100 of these 1/4-20 stainless wing nuts weigh?
About 1.36 lbs for the jar of 100, in a container measuring 3 x 3 x 2.7 inches. Useful if you're stocking a service van drawer or a bin shelf and need the footprint.
