Metallics N168CCL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the Metallics N168CCL hex nut, and will it fit 3/4 inch all-thread rod?
The N168CCL is a 3/4-10 hex nut, meaning 3/4 inch nominal diameter with 10 threads per inch. That is the standard UNC coarse pitch for 3/4 inch rod, so it threads onto 3/4-10 all-thread rod used for trapeze hangers and strut supports. It will not fit 3/4-16 fine thread.
2) What grade is the N168CCL nut and is it strong enough for a seismic or heavy trapeze hanger?
It is a Grade 2 steel nut with hardness of Rockwell B68 to C32. Grade 2 is general purpose fastening, correct for standard hanger rod, strut, and enclosure mounting. If your drawing calls out a Grade 5 or Grade 8 nut for a rated or seismically braced support, specify that grade instead.
3) Does the Metallics N168CCL hex nut meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The N168CCL is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. For a federally funded project with domestic sourcing language in the spec, this part will not satisfy it.
4) Is the Metallics 3/4-10 hex nut plated for damp or outdoor use?
It is steel with a zinc finish. Zinc plating handles indoor and protected exterior electrical work, but it is not a substitute for hot dip galvanized or stainless in wet, washdown, or coastal locations.
5) What wrench or socket size do I need for the Metallics 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. Across the corners it runs 1.240 to 1.299 inches, which is what you need to clear when the nut sits inside a strut channel or a tight enclosure knockout.
6) How many nuts come in a box of Metallics N168CCL, and can I buy a smaller quantity?
It ships as a box of 250 nuts, with a 250 each minimum. Metallics does make other sizes and quantities available by request, so a different pack or thread size can be sourced if 250 is more than the job needs.
