Metallics JN168BR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JN168BR brass hex nut thread onto 3/4-10 all-thread rod?
Yes. The JN168BR is a 3/4-10 hex nut, meaning 3/4 inch nominal diameter with 10 threads per inch, cut to the ANSI/ASME B1.1 thread standard. That is standard UNC coarse thread for 3/4 inch rod, so it runs onto common 3/4-10 threaded rod, anchor bolts, and studs.
2) Why use a brass hex nut instead of a steel or galvanized one on an electrical ground connection?
The JN168BR is solid brass, not plated steel. Brass is the usual choice where the nut has to sit against copper grounding conductors, bus, or bonding lugs, because it avoids the dissimilar-metal corrosion you get pairing steel with copper, and it stays conductive rather than relying on a plating that can wear off. If you are bolting structural steel or strut, a steel nut is the correct and stronger choice; brass is for the electrical bonding and corrosion-sensitive work.
3) What wrench or socket size do I need for a 3/4-10 brass hex nut?
Across the flats the JN168BR measures 1.088 to 1.125 inches, so a 1-1/8 inch wrench or socket is the right size. Corner to corner (across the points) it runs 1.240 to 1.299 inches, and nut height is 0.617 to 0.665 inches, which matters if you are working in a tight box or against a panel face.
4) Does this brass hex nut meet a recognized dimensional standard for spec work?
It is manufactured to ASME B18.2.2, the dimensional standard for hex nuts, with threads to ANSI/ASME B1.1. If a drawing or submittal calls for a 3/4-10 brass hex nut per B18.2.2, the JN168BR answers that line directly.
5) Can I use these brass nuts on a federally funded or Buy American job?
The JN168BR is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA requirements. Country of origin is China, so if your contract has a strict domestic-melt-and-manufacture clause rather than a general Buy American provision, verify the clause language against those two compliance flags before you submit.
6) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JN168BR, and can I buy just a few?
They ship 25 count in a jar, and 25 is the order minimum, so a jar is the smallest quantity. Weight for the full jar is 2.91 lbs. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request if 3/4-10 in a 25-count jar is not what your job needs.
