Metallics BHCS1212G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread is the Metallics BHCS1212G square head bolt?
The Metallics BHCS1212G is a 1/2-13 x 12 inch square head bolt. The 1/2-13 designation means a 1/2 inch diameter shank with 13 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse thread for that diameter, so it mates with any standard 1/2-13 nut or tapped hole.
2) Does the BHCS1212G bolt come with nuts, or do I have to order those separately?
Nuts are included. The BHCS1212G is sold as a square head bolt and nut assembly, so you do not need to source matching 1/2-13 nuts separately. Washers are not part of the package.
3) Is the Metallics BHCS1212G galvanized for outdoor or damp use?
Yes, the BHCS1212G is galvanized. The zinc coating gives it corrosion resistance for exterior and damp locations, which is why this style is used on utility framing, pole line hardware, outdoor strut and wood structural connections rather than plain finish bolts.
4) Why use a square head bolt instead of a hex head bolt?
A square head gives you more bearing surface on the wrench flats and is the traditional head style for utility, pole line, and heavy timber work, where it can also be held against a square recess or gripped with a pipe wrench in tight field conditions. For the BHCS1212G, the function is the same as a hex bolt of the same 1/2-13 thread, so if your spec or existing hardware calls out square head, match it; if the drawing says hex, order hex.
5) Will the BHCS1212G galvanized bolt work with my existing 1/2 inch nuts and washers?
It will, provided they are 1/2-13 coarse thread. Galvanized threads are slightly thicker from the coating, so pair it with galvanized nuts rather than plain or stainless ones, which can bind or gall going on. Nuts ship with the bolts, so the included hardware is already matched.
6) How many bolts are in a box of Metallics BHCS1212G?
Each package of BHCS1212G contains 50 bolts with nuts. If you need a smaller count for a single repair, this is a full box item, so plan the quantity around the 50 piece pack.
7) What is the Metallics part number for the 1/2-13 x 12 galvanized square head bolt and nut?
Order it as Metallics BHCS1212G. That is the manufacturer part number for the 1/2-13 x 12 inch galvanized square head bolt with nut, packed 50 to a box.
