Metallics JN153 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do Metallics JN153 hex nuts meet Buy American requirements on a public job?
The JN153 is flagged Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant in the product record, with country of origin listed as China. If your specification carries a strict domestic melt and manufacture clause rather than an ARRA compliance basis, confirm which standard the spec is written to before you submit.
2) Are these zinc plated steel nuts strong enough for mounting devices and small brackets?
The JN153 is Grade 2 steel with a hardness of Rockwell B68-C32 and a zinc finish. Grade 2 is standard-duty low carbon steel, correct for device mounting, plate and bracket work, and general panel assembly. For structural or high tension joints you want a Grade 5 or Grade 8 fastener instead.
3) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JN153, and can I buy fewer?
The JN153 ships as a jar of 100 count, and 100 is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. The jar packaging keeps small #6 nuts contained on a cart or in a van bin rather than loose in a tray. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request.
4) Is zinc plating okay for these nuts outdoors or in a damp location?
Zinc plating on steel is a mild corrosion barrier, suited to dry indoor panels, enclosures and interior device work. For wet, coastal or washdown locations, specify stainless steel hex nuts instead, since the plating will eventually sacrifice and the steel underneath will rust.
