Nuts 8-32 Serr Flange Locknut St-zn (Jar 100)
Additional Notes
- Other sizes and quantities available by request
Features
- Hex nut with an enlarged circular base flaring out from the bottom of the nut. The bearing surface of the flange has serrations which displace material on the mating surface when the nut is wrenched into place, forming a connection which resists loosening.
- Requires a greater amount of torque to loosen than to tighten the nut. Will span oversized or poorly aligned holes. Flange provides a more uniform bearing-stress to clamp-force ratio than other low carbon lock nuts. Does not gall screw threads.

Metallics JSFN832 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JSFN832 locknut thread onto an 8-32 machine screw?
Yes. The JSFN832 is an 8-32 nut, 32 threads per inch, so it mates with any standard #8-32 machine screw or bolt. It is steel with a zinc finish.
2) Do I need a separate washer with a serrated flange locknut?
No. The flange on the JSFN832 acts as the bearing surface, with a washer OD of 0.452 to 0.469 in. That spreads the clamp load and will span oversized or poorly aligned holes, so a flat washer is redundant in most electrical and mechanical mounting work.
3) Will a serrated flange locknut stay tight on equipment that vibrates?
That is what it is built for. The serrations on the flange bite into the mating surface as the nut is torqued, so it takes more torque to back the nut off than it did to drive it on. Metallics lists the JSFN832 for high vibration areas and for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work.
4) Can I use the JSFN832 on a federally funded or Buy American job?
No. The JSFN832 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. For a project with domestic sourcing requirements you will need a domestically produced 8-32 flange nut instead.
5) Is a serrated flange nut a good choice on a painted or finished panel?
Think twice. The serrations work by displacing material on the surface they clamp against, which will score paint, powder coat, or anodizing and break any protective film. On finished or soft surfaces use a nylon insert or non-serrated flange nut instead. On bare or galvanized steel the marking is not an issue.
6) Will a serrated flange locknut chew up the screw threads like a jam nut can?
No. The locking action on the JSFN832 is at the flange face, not in the threads, so it does not gall screw threads. The threads stay clean, which matters if you are backing hardware off and reusing the screw.
7) What dimensional standard does the Metallics JSFN832 hex flange nut meet?
It is built to ASME B18.16.4-2008, the standard for prevailing-torque metric and inch lock nuts, so dimensions interchange with other nuts made to that spec. Hardness is Rockwell HR15N 78-90.
8) How many nuts come in the Metallics JSFN832 and how are they packaged?
They ship 100 to a jar, which is the order minimum, at 0.6 lbs for the jar. The jar packaging keeps small 8-32 hardware together on a service truck rather than loose in a bin.
