Blackburn 50010HN-C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the Blackburn 50010HN-C hex nut?
The Blackburn 50010HN-C is a 1/2 inch hex nut. It threads onto 1/2 inch ground rod clamps, bronze studs, and grounding hardware of the same thread size. Match the thread on the stud or bolt you are tightening down before ordering.
2) Why use a silicon bronze nut instead of a steel or galvanized nut on a ground connection?
The 50010HN-C is made of silicon bronze, which is the standard material for direct-burial and outdoor grounding connections because it resists corrosion and is galvanically compatible with copper conductors and bronze grounding clamps. Steel or zinc-plated nuts against copper set up dissimilar-metal corrosion at the joint, which is exactly what fails on a buried ground rod connection.
3) Will a 1/2 inch silicon bronze hex nut work on a ground rod clamp stud?
Yes, provided the clamp stud is 1/2 inch thread. The 50010HN-C is a 1/2 inch hex nut in silicon bronze, the same material family used on bronze grounding clamps and connectors, so it mates without creating a dissimilar-metal joint at the connection. Check the stud thread on your specific clamp, since grounding clamps are also built with smaller studs.
4) What is the manufacturer part number for this Blackburn bronze hex nut?
Order it as Blackburn 50010HN-C. That is the manufacturer part number as well as the model designation, so a distributor or counter order under that number brings the 1/2 inch silicon bronze hex nut.
5) Can this bronze hex nut be used outdoors or direct buried?
Silicon bronze is the material specified for grounding hardware in wet, outdoor, and direct-burial locations because it holds up against soil and moisture corrosion far better than plated steel. The 50010HN-C is solid silicon bronze throughout, not a plated nut, so there is no coating to wear through at the threads.
6) Is the Blackburn 50010HN-C sold individually or in a box?
It is sold each, one nut per unit, so you can order the exact count for the job rather than a bulk carton. Electricians pulling a handful for service grounds and MRO buyers stocking a bin both order the same way.
