Metallics JN159M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are Metallics JN159M nuts steel or stainless, and can I use them outdoors?
These are zinc plated steel, not stainless. Zinc plating handles dry indoor and protected locations fine, which is what most panel, box and enclosure work is. For direct weather exposure, wet locations or corrosive environments, spec a stainless 6-32 nut instead, since zinc plating on steel will eventually rust once it is breached.
2) What grade are these 6-32 hex nuts, and are they strong enough for structural use?
Grade 2 steel, hardness Rockwell B68 to C32. That is standard commercial fastener strength, right for electrical device mounting, cover plates, strut and general MRO work. Grade 2 is not a structural fastener, so if a drawing calls out a higher grade for a load bearing connection, this is not the nut for it.
3) Do Metallics JN159M nuts meet a dimensional standard so they interchange with other 6-32 nuts?
They are built to ASME B18.2.2, the dimensional standard for square and hex nuts. Any 6-32 machine screw or nut made to that same standard will interchange with them, so mixing them into existing work is not a problem.
4) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JN159M, and what is the smallest quantity I can order?
They ship 1000 to a jar, and 1000 is the order minimum, so a jar is the buying unit. The full jar weighs 2.49 lbs and the container measures 3 x 4.57 x 3 inches, which is a small footprint for a shop shelf or a van bin.
5) Do Metallics JN159M hex nuts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
The JN159M carries both Buy American and ARRA compliance flags in the manufacturer data, while country of origin is China. On federally funded work the two get evaluated differently by different agencies, so pull the manufacturer's compliance letter for the submittal rather than relying on the flag alone.
6) Can I get 6-32 hex nuts from Metallics in a smaller count than 1000?
The JN159M is the 1000 count jar. Metallics does run other sizes and package quantities in the JN series, so if you need a different count or a different thread size, it can be sourced by request.
