Features
- Six-sided internally threaded fastener whose thickness is 0.875 D is the nominal nut size and 1.5 D is their width across the flats, made from austenitic alloys.
- Designed for use with stainless steel bolts and screws with a specified minimum tensile strength equal to or less than the specified proof stress of the mating nut. Both type of stainless are corrosion resistant with 316 stainless having greater such resistance as well as superior strength at raised temperatures.

Metallics JSN22 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch is the Metallics JSN22 hex nut?
The JSN22 is a 7/16-20 hex nut, so 7/16 inch nominal diameter at 20 threads per inch, which is the UNF fine thread pitch rather than the coarse 7/16-14. It will only run onto a fine-thread 7/16 bolt or stud. Dimensions are made to ANSI/ASME B18.2.2.
2) Is the JSN22 nut 18-8 or 316 stainless?
The JSN22 is 18-8 stainless steel. It is corrosion resistant and fine for general outdoor and damp-location electrical work, but if you are in a coastal, chlorinated, or high-temperature environment, 316 gives greater corrosion resistance and better strength at raised temperatures. Hardness is Rockwell B95 to C32.
3) Do these nuts meet Buy American requirements for a federal or public job?
No. The JSN22 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, these will not satisfy it.
4) What wrench or socket size fits a 7/16-20 stainless hex nut?
Width across the flats on the JSN22 runs 0.768 to 0.794 inch, which is a 3/4 inch wrench or socket. Nut height is 0.365 to 0.385 inch, so allow that much stud projection plus a thread or two past the nut.
5) Can I use these stainless nuts with galvanized or plain steel bolts?
Pair the JSN22 with stainless bolts and screws whose specified minimum tensile strength is equal to or less than the proof stress of the nut. Mixing stainless nuts onto plated carbon steel bolts in a wet location invites galvanic corrosion at the joint, so match the material where you can.
6) How are the Metallics JSN22 nuts packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum. That is a shop or service-truck quantity, so if you need bulk counts for a large job, other sizes and quantities are available by request.
7) Is a finished hex nut like this thick enough for a structural connection, or is it a general fastening nut?
The JSN22 is a standard hex nut dimensioned to ANSI/ASME B18.2.2, with thickness at 0.875 times the nominal size and width across flats at 1.5 times nominal. It is a general-purpose fastening nut for electrical and mechanical assembly, strut, hangers, and equipment mounting. For anything governed by a structural bolting spec, work from the engineer's called-out nut grade rather than substituting a general hex nut.
