Metallics JBHC33HH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics JBHC33HH heavy hex bolt?
The JBHC33HH is a 1/2-13 x 2 inch heavy hex bolt. The 1/2-13 callout means a 1/2 inch diameter with 13 threads per inch, which is the standard UNC coarse pitch for that diameter, so it mates with any standard 1/2-13 hex nut or tapped hole. Length is measured 2 inches under the head.
2) How many bolts come in a jar of the Metallics JBHC33HH?
One hundred bolts per jar. Metallics packages this 1/2-13 x 2 heavy hex bolt in a jar rather than loose or bulk boxed, which keeps the threads clean on a service truck and makes count-out on a panel or strut job straightforward.
3) Are these zinc plated bolts okay for outdoor or wet locations?
The JBHC33HH is steel with a zinc plating, which is a mild corrosion coating meant for dry indoor and protected service, not sustained weather exposure or washdown. For exterior pole line, rooftop, or damp-location work, step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless of the same 1/2-13 x 2 size.
4) What is the difference between a heavy hex bolt and a standard hex bolt in this size?
A heavy hex head is physically larger across the flats and corners than a standard hex head of the same 1/2-13 thread, so it spreads load over a bigger bearing area and takes a larger wrench. If your detail calls for a heavy hex, a standard hex bolt is not a substitute, the head washer face is too small. The JBHC33HH is the heavy hex version.
5) Does the Metallics JBHC33HH bolt come with nuts and washers?
No. The jar contains 100 bolts only, 1/2-13 x 2 heavy hex in zinc plated steel. Order matching 1/2-13 hex nuts and 1/2 inch flat or lock washers separately if the connection needs them.
6) What is a 1/2-13 x 2 heavy hex bolt typically used for on electrical jobs?
Metallics sells the JBHC33HH as electrical supply hardware, and a 1/2-13 x 2 inch bolt is the common size for bolting channel and strut bases, equipment and transformer pads, gear frames, and ground bus or lug connections where a 1/2 inch hole is drilled or punched. The 2 inch length gives enough grip for stacked steel plus a nut and washer.
