Metallics JN168 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JN168 hex nut thread onto 3/4 inch all-thread rod?
Yes. The JN168 is a 3/4-10 hex nut, meaning 3/4 inch nominal diameter at 10 threads per inch, which is the standard UNC coarse pitch used on 3/4 inch threaded rod. It mates with 3/4-10 rod, bolts, and anchors. It will not run on 3/4-16 fine thread.
2) Is the JN168 hex nut strong enough for hanging pipe and conduit trapeze supports?
It is a Grade 2 steel nut with a hardness of Rockwell B68 to C32, dimensioned to ASME B18.2.2. Metallics lists it for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work, which is where 3/4-10 rod hangers live. If your spec calls for Grade 5 or Grade 8 on the nut, this is not that nut.
3) Do Metallics JN168 hex nuts meet Buy American requirements on a federal job?
No. The JN168 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing language, specify a domestic hex nut instead.
4) What wrench or socket size do I need for a 3/4-10 Metallics 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 size to bring. Nut height runs 0.617 to 0.665 inch.
5) Can Metallics JN168 zinc plated nuts be used outdoors or in a wet location?
These are steel nuts with a zinc plated finish. Zinc plating handles indoor and dry protected locations well, but it is a sacrificial coating, not stainless. For wet exteriors, corrosive process areas, or anywhere chlorides are present, move to hot dip galvanized or stainless.
6) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JN168, and can I buy just a few?
The JN168 ships as a jar of 25 nuts, and 25 each is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request.
7) How much does a jar of 25 Metallics 3/4-10 hex nuts weigh for shipping?
A full jar weighs 2.91 lbs. The jar itself measures 3 by 3 by 4.57 inches, which matters if you are loading a service van bin or a job box tray.
