Metallics JWN7SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics JWN7SS wing nut take?
The JWN7SS is a 5/16-18 wing nut, so it threads onto 5/16 inch coarse-thread (UNC) rod, bolts or studs at 18 threads per inch. Threading follows ANSI/ASME B18.17. If your rod is 5/16-24 fine thread, this is the wrong nut.
2) Are these wing nuts stainless steel, and will they hold up outdoors or in a wet mechanical room?
They're 18-8 stainless steel, the standard 300-series austenitic grade used for general corrosion resistance. That suits damp plant rooms, exterior strut runs and washdown areas far better than a plated carbon steel wing nut, which will rust at the threads.
3) How much clearance do I need around a 5/16-18 stamped wing nut to turn it by hand?
Allow for a wing spread of 1.24 to 1.30 inches and a wing height of 0.53 to 0.59 inches, with a base diameter of 0.67 to 0.73 inches. The wings are 0.26 to 0.30 inches thick. In a tight channel or behind a panel, that spread is what decides whether fingers can get on it, so measure the pocket before you spec a hand-tightened nut over a hex.
4) Are Metallics JWN7SS wing nuts Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JWN7SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin recorded as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic-sourcing clause, this part won't satisfy it.
5) Why use a wing nut instead of a standard hex nut on an electrical or HVAC installation?
A stamped wing nut is for connections you expect to open again. It tightens and releases by hand with no wrench or socket, which is why these turn up on access covers, temporary bonding points, sheet metal panels and equipment that gets serviced. For a permanent structural or high-torque joint, use a hex nut instead; you cannot develop meaningful torque on a wing by hand.
6) How are the Metallics JWN7SS wing nuts packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, and the jar of 100 is the minimum order quantity. Jar weight is listed at 1.99 lbs. Handy if you're stocking a service van or an MRO crib rather than buying loose pieces.
7) What trades actually use stamped wing nuts like these?
Field application is electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work. Electricians use them on bonding and panel hardware, mechanical contractors on duct and equipment access, plumbers wherever a fitting has to come apart without tools.
