Metallics JTLN1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Metallics JTLN1 keps nut need a separate lock washer?
No. The JTLN1 is a 6-32 keps locknut with an external tooth lock washer already attached and held captive on the nut, so you place one part instead of two. The teeth bite into the mating surface as you torque it down, which is why it gets used on panel and box grounding work where a loose washer would otherwise get dropped.
2) Do Metallics JTLN1 keps nuts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a federal job?
No. The JTLN1 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this part will not satisfy it and you need a certified domestic fastener.
3) How many 6-32 keps nuts come in a jar of Metallics JTLN1?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum, so a single jar is the smallest quantity you can buy. Jar weight is 0.28 lbs.
4) Are these zinc plated keps nuts OK for damp or outdoor locations?
The JTLN1 is zinc plated steel, which is a general purpose indoor finish. It handles normal dry interior enclosures, panels, and equipment mounting fine, but zinc plating is not a marine or sustained wet-location coating. For washdown, coastal, or corrosive areas, specify an 18-8 stainless keps nut in the same 6-32 size instead.
5) Can these keps nuts be reused after removing them?
Treat them as single-use in any application that matters. The locking action on a keps nut comes from the washer teeth deforming into the mating surface, so once the teeth have set they no longer bite the same way. The nut is hardened to Rockwell C38-44, so the teeth stay sharp during the first install, but replace them rather than reinstalling on a torqued joint.
6) What trades actually use a 6-32 hex keps locknut?
It is stocked for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work. In practice that means device and cover plate hardware, ground screw terminations, control panel assembly, and sheet metal duct and equipment fastening, anywhere a #6-32 screw needs a nut that will not back off from vibration.
7) Can I get the Metallics JTLN keps locknut in a size other than 6-32?
Yes. The JTLN series runs other thread sizes and other pack quantities by request; JTLN1 is the 6-32 in a jar of 100.
