Features
- Six-sided internally threaded fastener whose thickness is 0.875 D is the nominal nut size and 1.5 D is their width across the flats, made from austenitic alloys.
- Designed for use with stainless steel bolts and screws with a specified minimum tensile strength equal to or less than the specified proof stress of the mating nut. Both type of stainless are corrosion resistant with 316 stainless having greater such resistance as well as superior strength at raised temperatures.

Metallics JSN10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size are the Metallics JSN10 hex nuts, and what screws do they fit?
The JSN10 is a 6-32 hex nut, meaning a #6 machine screw thread at 32 threads per inch. It mates with any standard 6-32 machine screw or bolt, which is the thread used on most device screws and small machine assemblies. Dimensions follow ANSI/ASME B18.2.2 for hex nuts.
2) Are these hex nuts stainless, and will they hold up outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The JSN10 nuts are 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, which is corrosion resistant and suited to wet locations and damp mechanical spaces. If the environment is salt-laden or runs at elevated temperature, 316 stainless offers greater corrosion resistance and better strength when hot.
3) Are these nuts Buy American or ARRA compliant for a public works job?
No. The JSN10 hex nuts are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic-content requirement, these will not satisfy it.
4) What wrench or socket size do I need for these 6-32 stainless hex nuts?
Across the flats the nut measures 0.302 to 0.312 in., so a 5/16 inch wrench or socket (0.3125 in.) is the size to grab. Across the corners it runs 0.344 to 0.361 in., and height is 0.102 to 0.114 in., so clearance in a tight box or channel is minimal.
5) How many 6-32 stainless hex nuts come in a jar, and is there a minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, and one jar is the order minimum. For a service van or a shop bin that is a single stocking unit, and the jar weighs 0.26 lbs.
6) Can I pair these stainless nuts with plated or galvanized steel bolts?
Match the nut to the fastener: the JSN10 is intended for stainless steel bolts and screws whose specified minimum tensile strength is equal to or less than the proof stress of the nut. Mixing stainless nuts onto zinc or galvanized steel screws in a wet location invites galvanic corrosion, so run stainless with stainless.
7) What trades actually use a 6-32 stainless hex nut like this?
It is stocked for electrical, plumbing, and heating and air conditioning work. Typical use is fastening small machine screws through sheet metal, device plates, panel components, and bracketry where a stainless nut is wanted for corrosion resistance.
8) Is this a finished hex nut or a thin jam nut?
It is a standard finished hex nut, not a jam nut. Thickness runs about 0.875 times the nominal nut size and the width across the flats about 1.5 times that size, which is the standard hex nut proportion. For the JSN10 that works out to a measured height of 0.102 to 0.114 in.
9) I need 6-32 stainless nuts in a larger count or a different thread size. Do you have other options?
Other sizes and quantities in the Metallics JSN hex nut series are available by request, so a different thread diameter or a bigger pack can be sourced rather than buying multiple jars of 100.
