Metallics JG8N169 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JG8N169 hex nut thread onto a 7/16-14 UNC bolt?
Yes. The JG8N169 is a 7/16 inch nut cut at 14 threads per inch, which is the standard UNC coarse pitch for 7/16 bolts and rod. It will not take 7/16-20 fine thread.
2) Is a Grade 8 nut necessary, or can I use a standard Grade 2 nut on a Grade 8 bolt?
Match the nut to the bolt. These are Grade 8 hardened steel nuts at Rockwell C24-32, made from AISI 1021 to 1045 steel, so they can be torqued to the full capability of a Grade 8 fastener. Put a soft commercial nut on a Grade 8 bolt and the nut threads strip before the bolt reaches its rated load, which matters on seismic bracing, equipment mounts and heavy trapeze hangers.
3) Do these Grade 8 hex nuts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA-funded project?
The JG8N169 is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA requirements. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your submittal package needs a single named country of manufacture, request documentation for the specific lot you receive.
4) How thick is this nut, and how much thread engagement do I need on the bolt?
The nut stands 0.365 to 0.385 inches tall, so plan on roughly that much bolt sticking past the joint, plus a thread or two, for full engagement. Short of that you lose the point of using a Grade 8 nut.
5) Are these nuts dimensionally standard, or a proprietary pattern?
They are built to ANSI/ASME B182.2, the standard hex nut dimensional spec, so they interchange with any other 7/16-14 nut made to that standard regardless of who supplied it.
6) Can these zinc-plated Grade 8 nuts be used outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The finish is zinc plating, which handles indoor and sheltered conditions and resists incidental moisture. For sustained outdoor exposure, wet environments or coastal air, zinc plate is not a long-term corrosion answer, and hot-dip galvanized or stainless hardware is the better call.
7) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JG8N169, and is there a minimum order?
Each jar holds 100 nuts, packaged in a jar rather than loose in a box or on a card. The order minimum is 100 count, so one jar is the smallest buy.
8) What trades actually use these 7/16-14 hardened nuts on the job?
They are stocked for electrical, plumbing, and heating and air conditioning work: strut and trapeze assemblies, threaded rod hanger runs, transformer and panel mounting, and equipment anchorage where a hardened nut is called for. Same nut works anywhere a 7/16-14 coarse thread shows up.
9) I need a different size or a larger quantity than a jar of 100. Is that available?
Yes. The JG8N series covers other sizes and pack quantities beyond the 7/16-14 jar of 100, available by request.
10) How much does a jar of 100 of these 7/16 Grade 8 nuts weigh for shipping or a bin load?
A full jar of 100 comes in at 2.81 lbs, with the jar itself at 3 inches by 3 inches and 3.6 inches tall. That sizes easily into a standard parts bin or a van drawer.
