Metallics JN159BR Nuts 6-32 Hx Nut Br (Jar 100)

It's a 6-32 nut, so it threads onto any standard 6-32 machine screw. Threads are cut to ANSI/ASME B1.1 at 32 threads per inch, which is the unified coarse pitch for a #6 screw, so it mates with 6-32 ground screws, device screws and fixture screws without issue.

No. The JN159BR is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. On a job carrying domestic-sourcing requirements you'll need a domestically produced brass hex nut instead.

Across the flats the nut measures 0.302 to 0.312 in., which is a 5/16 inch wrench or nut driver. Corner to corner it runs 0.344 to 0.361 in. and the nut stands 0.102 to 0.114 in. tall, so it sits nearly flush in tight device boxes and enclosures.

Brass is the material here, and it's the usual pick where you want a non-ferrous, corrosion-resistant fastener on grounding and bonding work or in damp locations. Brass is softer than steel, so if you need high clamp load or repeated torqueing on structural work, a plated steel nut is the better call. For electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work, which is what this nut is intended for, brass is standard.

They ship 100 nuts to a jar, and the jar is the minimum order unit, so 100 pieces is the smallest quantity. The packed jar weighs 0.26 lbs. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.

Yes. It's built to ASME B18.2.2, the dimensional standard for hex nuts, with threads to ANSI/ASME B1.1. If a submittal calls for a standard-dimension 6-32 hex nut, those are the two references to cite.
