Metallics JCN167 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JCN167 cap nut take?
It threads onto 5/8-11 UNC right-hand rod or bolt, 11 threads per inch. Coarse thread only, so it will not run onto 5/8-18 fine-thread stock.
2) Will these pass a Buy American requirement on a federally funded job?
The JCN167 cap nut is flagged both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in Metallics' data, which is what procurement on publicly funded work usually asks for. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so note that if your spec requires a single named origin.
3) Will the JCN167 fit standard 5/8 inch all-thread from any supplier?
Yes, as long as the rod is 5/8-11 UNC right-hand, which is the standard coarse 5/8 all-thread used for hanging electrical and mechanical loads. Metallics builds these to American Standard dimensions, so the fit is interchangeable with other ANSI-dimensioned 5/8-11 hardware.
4) How much rod will fit inside the cap before it bottoms out?
The nut stands 0.787 to 0.807 in tall overall, so the blind cap limits how far threaded rod can enter. Cut rod short enough that it stops inside that height, otherwise the nut will not seat flush against the work. If you need the rod to pass all the way through, use a standard open hex nut instead of an acorn cap nut.
5) Are these cap nuts stainless or plated steel?
Steel with a nickel plated finish. That gives a bright decorative face for exposed rod ends and some corrosion resistance, but it is not solid stainless, so for wet or corrosive service, a true stainless acorn nut is the better call.
6) How are these sold, and can I buy fewer than 100?
They ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. Metallics does note that other sizes and quantities are available by request.
7) Why would I use an acorn cap nut instead of a plain hex nut on threaded rod?
Two reasons on a jobsite. The domed closed end covers the sharp cut end of 5/8-11 rod so nobody snags a hand on it, and the nickel plated dome reads as finished where the hardware is visible, in a lobby ceiling or an exposed strut run. A plain hex nut is the choice where the rod has to run through and continue past the nut.
8) What is the part number and jar weight for ordering these 5/8-11 cap nuts?
Order Metallics JCN167. The jar of 100 is listed at 7 lbs, useful if you are consolidating a fastener order against a freight weight.
