Metallics JG5N170 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JG5N170 hex nut thread onto a 7/16-14 UNC bolt?
Yes. The JG5N170 is a 7/16 inch nut cut at 14 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse thread for that diameter, so it runs onto any 7/16-14 coarse-thread bolt, rod or stud. It will not fit 7/16-20 fine thread.
2) Is a grade 5 nut strong enough for hanging overhead pipe and conduit?
Grade 5 hardened steel at Rockwell C32 is the medium-strength class normally paired with grade 5 bolts and threaded rod, and Metallics lists this nut for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work, which is exactly the trapeze and rod hanging application. Where a drawing calls out grade 8 hardware, a grade 5 nut is not a substitute.
3) Will these nuts meet a Buy American or ARRA requirement on a public project?
No. The JG5N170 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this nut will not satisfy it.
4) What wrench or socket size do I need for these 7/16-14 grade 5 nuts?
Across the flats the nut measures 0.768 to 0.794 inches, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the one you want. Overall nut thickness is 0.365 to 0.385 inches, which matters if you are working in a tight channel or against a strut face.
5) How many nuts come in a jar, and can I order a smaller quantity?
The JG5N170 ships as a jar of 100 nuts, and 100 (one jar) is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit sold. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities by request if 7/16-14 in 100-count is not what the job needs.
6) Are these zinc plated nuts OK outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The nut is hardened steel with a zinc finish, which handles indoor and normally dry or occasionally damp conditions. Zinc plating is sacrificial, so for direct weather exposure, wet wells, coastal air or corrosive process areas, step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless hardware instead.
7) What dimensional standard do these Metallics grade 5 hex nuts follow?
They are made to ANSI/ASME B182.2 dimensions from AISI 1008 to 1026 steel, so the hex size and thickness interchange with any other B182.2 heavy pattern 7/16-14 nut on the same bolt.
8) How much does a jar of 100 of the 7/16-14 grade 5 nuts weigh for shipping?
A full jar runs 2.87 lbs. The jar itself is listed at 3 inches long by 3 inches wide and 3.6 inches high, small enough to keep a couple on the van without eating shelf space.
