Metallics JCN160 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do the Metallics JCN160 cap nuts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a public project?
No. The JCN160 is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin shown as multiple. If your job carries a domestic-sourcing clause, this is not the part to submit.
2) What are cap nuts like the Metallics JCN160 actually used for?
They dress up and cover exposed threaded bolt or screw ends so nothing sharp is left sticking out. Metallics lists the JCN160 for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work, which is where you most often have a stud or all-thread end sitting in a finished or occupied space. It is a finish and safety cover, not a structural locking nut.
3) Are the Metallics JCN160 cap nuts steel or stainless, and will the plating hold up indoors?
Steel with a nickel plated finish. The nickel gives it a bright, decorative look for exposed locations and some corrosion resistance for normal interior conditions. It is plated steel, not solid stainless, so for wet, washdown, or exterior-exposed work a stainless cap nut is the better call.
4) How are Metallics JCN160 cap nuts packaged and what is the minimum order?
They come in a jar of 100, and 100 pieces is the order minimum, sold by the jar. That makes it a stocking item for a service van or MRO crib rather than a count-out-a-handful purchase. The packed jar weighs 0.3 lbs.
5) Can I get the Metallics JCN cap nut in a thread size other than 6-32?
Yes. The JCN160 itself is the 6-32 size, but Metallics offers other sizes and quantities in the JCN cap nut series by request. If you are standardizing a facility on one acorn nut and need 8-32, 10-24 or 1/4-20 as well, ask for the matching JCN part rather than mixing finishes across brands.
