Metallics JSBH145 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread is the Metallics JSBH145 hex bolt?
The Metallics JSBH145 is a 1/4-20 x 5 inch hex bolt. That's a 1/4 inch diameter shank with 20 threads per inch (UNC coarse), and a 5 inch length measured under the head. It takes a standard 7/16 inch wrench or socket on the hex, and mates with any 1/4-20 nut or tapped hole.
2) Is the JSBH145 bolt stainless, and will it hold up outdoors?
It's 18-8 stainless steel, the common austenitic grade (roughly 18% chromium, 8% nickel) used for general corrosion resistance. That makes it suitable for damp, outdoor, and wash-down electrical work where a plain or zinc-plated bolt would rust. For direct salt-water immersion or heavy chloride exposure, 316 stainless is the grade to step up to.
3) Do nuts and washers come with the JSBH145 bolts?
No. The JSBH145 is the bolt only, 100 hex bolts to the jar. You'll need to order 1/4-20 nuts and 1/4 inch flat or lock washers separately, and to match them in 18-8 stainless so you don't set up galvanic corrosion by mixing a plated steel nut onto a stainless bolt.
4) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JSBH145?
One hundred bolts per jar. Metallics packs this 1/4-20 x 5 inch stainless hex bolt in a jar rather than a loose box, which keeps the count intact on a truck or a gang box and makes it easy to pull one at a time on a strut or enclosure job.
5) Is a 5 inch bolt length too long for mounting an electrical enclosure or strut?
It depends on your grip. Five inches is the length under the head, so it's meant for thick stack-ups: strut plus backplate plus spacers, through-bolting timber, or ganged channel. On a thin panel you'd have several inches of thread hanging past the nut. If your total clamped thickness is under about two inches, a shorter 1/4-20 in the same 18-8 stainless is the cleaner call.
6) What part number do I order for a 1/4-20 x 5 stainless hex bolt from Metallics?
Metallics part number JSBH145. It's the manufacturer number to quote on a PO, and it covers the 1/4-20 x 5 inch hex bolt in 18-8 stainless, jar of 100. There is a single configuration, so there's no finish or length option to specify on the order.
7) Is this bolt fully threaded or does it have a plain shank?
The JSBH145 is a hex bolt, which at a 5 inch length in 1/4-20 normally carries a plain unthreaded shank under the head with threads running back from the point. If your application needs thread engagement along the entire length, such as clamping through variable spacers or stacking two nuts, specify a fully threaded hex cap screw or a 1/4-20 threaded rod cut to length instead.
