Metallics BTJ7SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the BTJ7SS J-bolt stainless steel and will it hold up outdoors?
It's 18-8 stainless, the common 300-series austenitic grade used for general corrosion resistance. That makes the 3/8-16 x 7 inch J-bolt suitable for damp and exterior hangs where a plain or zinc-plated bolt would rust, though 18-8 is not the marine-grade choice for direct salt exposure.
2) How many J-bolts come in a pack of Metallics BTJ7SS?
They ship in a jar of 10. One jar covers ten hanger points, so figure your hanging layout in multiples of 10 if you're ordering for a run of conduit, pipe, or strut.
3) What is a J-bolt like the BTJ7SS used for on an electrical or mechanical job?
A J-bolt is a threaded rod bent into a J at one end. The hook end goes over or around a structural member, a beam flange, a rod, or through a formed hole, and the threaded leg takes a nut to clamp the load or to hang something below. The BTJ7SS gives you 7 inches overall in 3/8-16, so it suits hooking over a member and still leaving thread for a nut, washer, and a hanger or clamp. It is not an expansion or concrete drop-in anchor, so it does not set into a drilled hole in masonry.
4) What nuts and washers do I need to order with a 3/8-16 J-bolt?
Nothing is included with the BTJ7SS beyond the bolts themselves, so plan on 3/8-16 hex nuts and 3/8 flat washers (and lock nuts or lock washers if the connection sees vibration). Match them in 18-8 stainless to the bolt so you don't set up galvanic corrosion between a stainless bolt and a plated nut in a wet location.
5) What is the exact part number to order the Metallics 3/8-16 x 7 stainless J-bolt?
Order Metallics part BTJ7SS. That number covers the 3/8-16 x 7 inch 18-8 stainless J-bolt supplied in a jar of 10, and it's the single model offered under that designation.
