Metallics JNYN159SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JNYN159SS lock nut take?
It is a 6-32 nut, meaning a #6 screw at 32 threads per inch, cut to the ANSI/ASME B1.1 thread standard. So it mates with any standard #6-32 machine screw, rod, or stud, which is the common thread on device mounting screws and panel hardware.
2) Are these 6-32 lock nuts stainless, and can they be used outdoors or in wet locations?
They are 18-8 stainless steel, the standard austenitic stainless used for corrosion resistance in damp and outdoor service. That makes them suitable for exterior lighting, wet-location enclosures, and coastal or washdown areas where a plated steel nut would rust. Keep in mind the locking element is nylon, so service temperature is limited by the insert, not the stainless.
3) Can I use these on a Buy American or ARRA-funded job?
No. The JNYN159SS stainless 6-32 nylon insert locknuts are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. For federally funded work with domestic sourcing requirements you will need a domestically produced 6-32 nylon insert locknut instead.
4) Will a 6-32 nylon insert lock nut hold without a lock washer in a vibrating assembly?
That is the point of the nylon insert. The JNYN159SS is a hexagonal nylon insert lock nut, so the nylon collar grips the screw threads and resists loosening from vibration without a separate lock washer or thread adhesive. Use it where you would otherwise stack a split washer behind a plain hex nut, such as fan and motor mounts, enclosure hardware, or conduit-mounted device assemblies.
5) Do these Metallics lock nuts meet a dimensional spec I can put on a submittal?
Yes. The JNYN series nylon insert lock nuts are made to ASME B18.16.6, the dimensional standard for prevailing torque lock nuts, with threads to ANSI/ASME B1.1. Hardness is Rockwell B95-C35. That is enough to satisfy a spec calling for a standard-dimension 6-32 nylon insert hex locknut.
6) How are the Metallics JNYN159SS 6-32 locknuts packaged, and what is the minimum I can buy?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum. The jar is practical for a service van or a shop bin where you are pulling a handful at a time. Other sizes and quantities are available by request if you need a different thread size or a bulk count.
7) Can a nylon insert locknut be reused after I take the assembly apart?
The nylon collar deforms the first time a screw is driven through it, so each reinstall gives less locking grip. For the 6-32 stainless JNYN locknuts, treat them as a one-time-use item on anything safety related and swap in a fresh nut from the jar of 100 when you reassemble. That is also why it is worth buying them by the hundred rather than the handful.
