Metallics BHC41 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics BHC41 hex bolt?
The BHC41 is a 1/2-13 x 6 inch hex bolt, so it takes a 1/2-13 UNC nut and gives 6 inches of length under the head. The 13 is threads per inch, which is the standard coarse pitch for a 1/2 inch bolt.
2) Is the Metallics BHC41 bolt sold individually or by the box?
It comes 100 pieces to a pack. One order of BHC41 is the full 100 count box of 1/2-13 x 6 hex bolts, not a single fastener.
3) Are these 1/2-13 hex bolts plated for corrosion resistance, and can I use them outdoors?
The BHC41 is zinc plated steel. Zinc handles general indoor and sheltered use fine, including damp mechanical and electrical rooms. For direct weather exposure, coastal air, or anywhere in contact with treated lumber, step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless instead, since those conditions chew through a zinc plating.
4) Do the Metallics BHC41 bolts come with nuts and washers?
No. BHC41 is bolts only, 100 of them. You order matching 1/2-13 hex nuts and 1/2 inch flat or lock washers separately to complete the connection.
5) What hole size should I drill for a 1/2 inch hex bolt like the BHC41?
For a 1/2 inch diameter bolt, a 9/16 inch hole is the normal clearance in steel or wood, which gives enough slop to line up a bolted connection without rattling. A dead 1/2 inch hole will bind the threads.
6) What wrench or socket size do I need for these 1/2-13 hex bolts?
A 1/2-13 hex bolt in the standard inch series takes a 3/4 inch socket or wrench across the flats. Keep that in mind if you are spec'ing out torque wrenches or impact sockets for a run of 100 of them.
7) Are Metallics BHC41 bolts suitable for mounting electrical equipment and strut?
Yes, that is the usual use. These are general purpose zinc plated steel hex bolts stocked as electrical fasteners, the kind used for hanging enclosures, transformers, channel and strut framing, and equipment racks indoors. For anchoring into concrete you need a concrete anchor rather than a hex bolt.
