Metallics JN168PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JN168PL hex nut thread onto 3/4 inch all-thread rod?
It will, as long as the rod is 3/4-10 UNC. The JN168PL is a 3/4-10 hex nut with 10 threads per inch made to ASME B18.2.2, which is the standard coarse thread used on 3/4 inch all-thread hanger rod. It won't run on 3/4-16 fine thread rod.
2) Is the JN168PL hex nut plated or galvanized for outdoor use?
No. The JN168PL is plain finish steel with no coating, so it is for dry interior use. Outdoors or in damp locations you want a hot-dip galvanized or zinc plated 3/4-10 nut instead, or the plain steel will rust.
3) What wrench or socket size fits a Metallics JN168PL 3/4-10 hex nut?
Across the flats the nut measures 1.088 to 1.125 inches, so a 1-1/8 inch wrench or socket is the fit. Nut height runs 0.617 to 0.665 inches.
4) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JN168PL?
Each jar holds 25 nuts, and 25 count is the order minimum, so one jar is the smallest buy. The jar weighs 2.91 lbs. Other sizes and quantities can be requested.
5) Do Metallics JN168PL nuts meet Buy American requirements on a government job?
The JN168PL is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American, with country of origin China. On a federally funded project where the specification is domestic-melt-and-manufacture rather than the ARRA/Buy American flag, confirm which standard your contract cites before submitting.
6) Will a 3/4-10 plain steel hex nut hold up as a locking nut on vibrating equipment?
A plain finished hex nut like the JN168PL has no locking feature, so on equipment that vibrates it can back off. Standard practice is to double-nut it, add a lock washer, or use a nylon-insert or prevailing-torque lock nut in 3/4-10 instead.
