Metallics BHC47M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/2-13 x 1-1/2 hex bolt be long enough for my application?
With 1-1/2 inches of overall length under the head, the BHC47M suits grip thicknesses of roughly an inch or less once you allow for a nut and washer. Stack your material thickness plus washer plus full nut height and make sure the thread still runs past the nut; if it does not, go to a longer 1/2-13 bolt rather than this one.
2) Is the BHC47M bolt zinc plated or plain steel?
Steel with a zinc plating (the St-Zn in the description). Zinc plating gives basic corrosion resistance for dry interior work such as strut, panel and enclosure mounting. For sustained wet or exterior exposure, step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless.
3) How many bolts come in a box of Metallics BHC47M?
It is sold as a bulk carton of 1,000 pieces, one size only, 1/2-13 x 1-1/2. That quantity suits a contractor or MRO stockroom standardizing on one fastener rather than a one-off repair.
4) Can I use the Metallics BHC47M for electrical strut and enclosure mounting?
Yes, that is its intended lane. Metallics catalogs the BHC47M among electrical fasteners, and a 1/2-13 zinc plated hex bolt is the common size for channel, strut and equipment mounting indoors. Pair it with 1/2-13 nuts and 1/2 inch flat washers, which are not included.
5) Do nuts and washers come with the BHC47M bolts?
No. The carton contains bolts only, 1,000 of them. Order 1/2-13 hex nuts and 1/2 inch washers separately to complete the assembly.
6) Is this a hex head bolt or a carriage bolt?
Hex head (HXBT). It drives with a standard wrench or socket on the head, unlike a carriage bolt, which has a domed head and square shoulder and needs to be held at the nut. Pick the hex head where you can get a wrench on both ends.
