Metallics JN170PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch does the Metallics JN170PL hex nut take?
The JN170PL is a 7/16-14 hex nut, so it threads onto 7/16 inch coarse-thread (UNC) bolts, rod, or studs at 14 threads per inch. It is made to ASME B18.2.2, the dimensional standard for hex nuts, so it will seat on any standard 7/16-14 UNC fastener. It will not fit 7/16-20 fine thread.
2) Are these nuts plated or bare steel, and can I use them outdoors?
These are plain finish steel, meaning no zinc or other protective plating. Bare steel will rust in damp or exterior locations, so keep plain nuts to dry indoor work and specify a zinc-plated or galvanized nut for outdoor, wet-location, or corrosive environments.
3) Is a Grade 2 plain steel hex nut strong enough for strut and conduit hanger work?
Grade 2 is the standard commercial-strength carbon steel nut and it is what gets used with Grade 2 and Grade 5 bolts and threaded rod on electrical support work, strut, hangers, and general equipment mounting. Hardness runs Rockwell B68 to C32. For high-strength structural joints specify a Grade 5 or Grade 8 nut instead, since matching the nut to the bolt grade is what keeps the joint rated.
4) How are the Metallics JN170PL nuts packaged and what is the minimum I can buy?
They ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 count is the order minimum, so a single jar is the smallest buy. Jar weight is 2.8 lbs. The jar format is handy on a service van or a shop bench where you are pulling a few nuts at a time rather than opening a bulk box.
5) Do Metallics JN nuts meet Buy American and ARRA requirements on a public project?
The JN170PL is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA. Country of origin is China. On federally funded work where domestic-origin material is mandated rather than just ARRA-compliant sourcing, check the specific clause in your contract against that origin before you submit.
6) Can I get 7/16-14 hex nuts in a different quantity or a different thread size?
Yes. Metallics JN series hex nuts are offered in other sizes and quantities by request, so if you need a larger bulk count than the 100 piece jar, or a different diameter and pitch for the same job, that can be sourced.
