Metallics JN164G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JN164G 5/16 hex nut take, coarse or fine?
The JN164G is 18 threads per inch, so it mates with 5/16-18 coarse threaded rod, bolts, and studs. It will not run onto 5/16-24 fine thread hardware.
2) Do these 5/16 nuts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a federal job?
Metallics lists the JN164G as ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, with country of origin China. If your specification requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than compliance under those programs, confirm the requirement wording with your spec writer before submitting.
3) Is a galvanized 5/16 hex nut okay for outdoor or damp electrical work?
The JN164G is steel with a galvanized finish, which is the usual choice for outdoor strut, hanger rod, and damp-location mounting where plain steel would rust. For continuous wet or corrosive chemical exposure, stainless is the better call.
4) How many 5/16 hex nuts come in a jar of Metallics JN164G?
They ship 100 to a jar, and 100 count is the order minimum. The jar packaging keeps them together in a gang box or on a service truck instead of loose in a bag.
5) How hard are these galvanized 5/16 hex nuts, and will they strip on a torqued connection?
Hardness is Rockwell B68 to C32 on the JN164G. That is the range for a standard structural-grade hex nut, suitable for pulling up rod hangers, strut, and equipment mounting rather than high-tensile torqued assemblies at the top of the bolt grade chart.
6) I need the same galvanized hex nut in 3/8 or 1/2 inch. Can I get other sizes in the JN series?
The JN series galvanized hex nuts run in other sizes and jar quantities beyond the 5/16-18 JN164G, available by request. Tell us the thread size and count you want and we will quote the matching JN part.
7) What does a jar of 100 Metallics 5/16 galvanized hex nuts weigh for shipping?
1.04 lbs for the jar of 100. The jar itself is 3 inches in length and width and 2.15 inches in height, so it tucks into a tool bag or bin without a repack.
