Metallics JCB101 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics JCB101 carriage bolt?
It's a 1/2-13 x 1-1/2 inch carriage bolt in steel. The 1/2-13 means a 1/2 inch diameter with 13 threads per inch, which is the standard UNC coarse thread for that diameter, so it takes a standard 1/2-13 hex nut. Usable length under the head is 1-1/2 inches.
2) Do nuts and washers come with the JCB101 carriage bolts?
No. The jar contains the 25 carriage bolts only. You'll need 1/2-13 hex nuts, and a washer under the nut if the back side is wood or sheet metal, ordered separately.
3) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JCB101?
Each jar holds 25 of the 1/2-13 x 1-1/2 carriage bolts. The jar pack is how this one is sold, which suits a service truck or a shop drawer rather than bulk box quantities.
4) What is the difference between a carriage bolt and a hex bolt for hanging electrical supports?
A carriage bolt like the JCB101 has a smooth domed head and a square shoulder under it. Drive it through a round hole and the square neck bites the material so the bolt won't spin, meaning you tighten from the nut side with one wrench and nothing protrudes to snag on the head side. A hex bolt needs a wrench or socket on both ends and leaves a sharp head. Choose the carriage bolt where only one side is accessible or where a flush, snag-free face matters; choose a hex bolt where you need to torque to a value or bolt steel to steel.
5) What size hole should I drill for a 1/2 inch carriage bolt?
Drill 1/2 inch, matching the bolt diameter, and keep the hole round rather than oversized. The square shoulder on the 1/2-13 carriage bolt is meant to be drawn into the material around that hole, so an oversize hole lets the bolt spin and you lose the one-wrench advantage.
6) Is the Metallics JCB101 plain steel or stainless?
It's a steel carriage bolt. For exposed outdoor runs, wet locations, or any assembly where dissimilar-metal corrosion is a concern, specify a stainless 1/2-13 carriage bolt instead of this one.
7) What is the Metallics part number for the 1/2-13 x 1-1/2 carriage bolt jar?
Order it as Metallics JCB101. That number covers the 1/2-13 x 1-1/2 steel carriage bolt supplied 25 to a jar.
