Metallics JN160D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JN160D nut acceptable on a Buy American or ARRA funded project?
It is flagged Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as the United States. For federally funded or state procurement work with domestic sourcing language, that is the documentation a submittal needs on a fastener line item.
2) What wrench or socket size fits the JN160D 8-32 hex nut?
Across the flats the nut measures 0.302 to 0.344 in., which is the 11/32 in. hex standard for an 8-32 nut. An 11/32 socket, nut driver or small adjustable will seat on it. Nut height runs 0.117 to 0.130 in., so it stacks low on a screw with little thread engagement to spare.
3) Does this Metallics hex nut meet dimensional spec for inspected work?
The JN160D is made to ASME B18.2.2, the dimensional standard for inch-series nuts, so head width and height fall in the published envelope and the nut interchanges with any other B18.2.2 8-32 hex nut on the job.
4) Can zinc plated steel 8-32 nuts be used outdoors or in a damp location?
The JN160D is steel with a zinc finish. Zinc plating is a mild corrosion coating suited to dry indoor and protected locations, panel interiors, box and device work. For wet, coastal or corrosive-atmosphere service, specify stainless rather than zinc plated steel.
5) How many 8-32 nuts come in the Metallics JN160D jar, and is there a minimum order?
They ship 100 to a jar, and 100 count is the order minimum, so one jar is the smallest quantity. The jar weighs 0.31 lbs. Jar packaging keeps small nuts contained on a van or service cart instead of loose in a bag. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
6) Are these 8-32 nuts hard enough to torque down without stripping or deforming?
Hardness is Rockwell B80 to C32, a case-hardened to medium-hard range for a plated steel nut, so the hex corners hold a socket and the threads take normal hand torque on device and fixture screws without rounding.
7) Will the JN160D hex nut fit inside a tight spot like a fixture canopy or a device box?
It is a plain hex nut, roughly 0.302 to 0.344 in. across the flats and 0.117 to 0.130 in. tall, so it adds about an eighth of an inch of stack height on a stud or screw. No flange, no nylon insert, no attached washer, so pair it with a separate washer or lock washer if the assembly needs one.
