Features
- 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.
- 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.

Metallics JSN11316SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JSN11316SS hex nut thread onto an 8-32 machine screw?
Yes. The JSN11316SS is an 8-32 hex nut, 32 threads per inch, made to ANSI/ASME B18.2.2 dimensions, so it mates with any standard 8-32 UNC machine screw or bolt.
2) Is 316 stainless worth it over 18-8 for outdoor or coastal electrical work?
Both grades resist corrosion, but 316 has greater corrosion resistance and better strength at raised temperatures, which is why it gets specified for coastal, wash-down, and chemical exposure. The JSN11316SS is 316 stainless. For dry indoor enclosures, 18-8 normally does the job.
3) What wrench or socket size fits an 8-32 316 stainless hex nut from Metallics?
Width across the flats on the JSN11316SS runs 0.378 to 0.397 in., which is an 11/32 in. wrench or socket. Nut height is 0.117 to 0.130 in., so it sits low enough for tight enclosure work.
4) What bolts should I pair these stainless nuts with?
Use stainless steel bolts or screws whose specified minimum tensile strength is equal to or less than the specified proof stress of the mating nut, so the bolt yields before the nut strips. Nut hardness is Rockwell B80-C32. Pairing 316 stainless nuts with plated carbon steel bolts in a wet location invites galvanic trouble, so keep the fastener pair in stainless.
5) How many 8-32 stainless nuts come in a jar, and can I buy fewer?
They ship as a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
6) Do these Metallics stainless hex nuts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a public project?
The JSN11316SS is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American in the manufacturer data, with country of origin listed as China. On a federally funded job, confirm which clause your contract invokes, since the two programs treat origin differently.
7) Is a standard 8-32 hex nut thick enough to take full thread engagement?
Yes, these are full-height hex nuts, not thin jam nuts. Thickness is 0.875 times the nominal nut size and width across the flats is 1.5 times nominal, the standard proportions for a hex nut, giving full thread engagement for the screw. For the 8-32 size that works out to 0.117 to 0.130 in. of height.
