Metallics JN165BR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JN165BR brass hex nut thread onto a 3/8-16 UNC rod or bolt?
Yes. The JN165BR is a 3/8-16 hex nut, cut to 16 threads per inch to the ANSI/ASME B1.1 thread standard, so it runs on standard 3/8-16 UNC all-thread rod, bolts and studs. If your rod is 3/8-24 fine thread, this is the wrong nut.
2) Why use a brass nut instead of a steel or galvanized one on an electrical ground connection?
The JN165BR is solid brass, which is what grounding and bonding work calls for: it resists corrosion and stays conductive, and it avoids the dissimilar-metal corrosion you get pairing steel hardware with copper or bronze ground rods, lugs and bonding jumpers. Metallics lists it for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work. Where you need load-bearing strength instead of conductivity, use a steel grade nut, not brass.
3) Can I use these brass nuts on a federally funded or Buy American job?
No. The JN165BR brass hex nut is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin shown as multiple. For a project with domestic sourcing requirements you will need a domestically produced brass hex nut instead.
4) Is the JN165BR a standard dimension hex nut or a proprietary pattern?
It is built to ASME B18.2.2, the standard that governs inch-series hex nut dimensions, so it interchanges dimensionally with any other 3/8-16 hex nut made to that spec. That matters if you are mixing stock across a facility or matching what is already on an existing ground bar or strut run.
5) Is a 3/8-16 brass hex nut thick enough to be used as a jam nut on all-thread rod?
At 0.320 to 0.337 in. thick it is a full-height 3/8-16 hex nut, not a thin jam nut, so a pair of them will lock fine against each other on 3/8-16 rod. If you specifically need a low-profile jam nut to clear a cover or box, order a thin pattern nut rather than this one.
