Metallics JN173G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JN173G hex nut take, and will it fit a 7/8 inch rod?
The JN173G is a 7/8-9 hex nut, so 9 threads per inch on a 7/8 inch diameter. That is the standard UNC coarse pitch for 7/8 inch, so it runs onto 7/8-9 all-thread rod, anchor bolts, and hanger rod. It will not take a fine-thread 7/8-14 bolt.
2) Are these hex nuts coated for outdoor or damp locations?
These are steel nuts with a galvanized finish, which is the usual choice for exterior strut, hanger rod, and damp-location electrical support work. Bare steel nuts would be the indoor-only option.
3) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JN173G, and can I buy fewer?
JN173G ships as a jar of 25 nuts, and 25 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. The filled jar weighs 4.36 lbs. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
4) Is the Metallics JN173G a plain hex nut or a flange, lock, or coupling nut?
It is a plain hexagonal nut, 7/8-9, galvanized steel. No flange, no nylon insert, no extended coupling body. If you need a prevailing-torque or coupling version for 7/8 inch rod, that is a different part number.
5) Do these galvanized hex nuts meet Buy American and ARRA requirements on a public project?
The JN173G record carries both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant flags, with country of origin China. On a federally funded job, check which standard your specification actually invokes, since the origin and the compliance flags need to line up with the clause in your contract.
6) How hard are these nuts, and are they strong enough for threaded rod hanging heavy loads?
Hardness is Rockwell B68 to C32 on steel, which is the range you would expect from a general-purpose structural hex nut rather than a soft sheet-metal fastener. For a rated assembly, match the nut's grade to the rod or bolt grade called out on your drawing and size the nut to the rod, 7/8-9 here.
