Metallics JCB25BLK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What hole size do I drill for a 3/8 inch carriage bolt like the JCB25BLK?
A carriage bolt has a square shoulder under the domed head that bites into wood as the nut is tightened, so the hole is sized to the 3/8 inch shank, not to the shoulder. Drill 3/8 inch through wood and let the shoulder pull in; through steel or a bracket, go to a 7/16 inch clearance hole and the shoulder will not key, so hold the head with a wrench or a backing plate while you tighten.
2) Is the black oxide finish on the JCB25BLK bolt OK outdoors?
No. Black oxide is a conversion coating for appearance and mild corrosion resistance indoors, and it will rust in wet or exterior service. Use it for dry interior work such as strut, backboards, equipment mounting and wood framing inside the building. For exterior or damp locations, specify a hot dip galvanized or stainless 3/8-16 carriage bolt instead.
3) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JCB25BLK?
Fifty bolts per jar. Metallics packs these in a jar rather than a box, which is what you want on a truck or a cart where loose fasteners get lost.
4) Do I get nuts and washers with the Metallics JCB25BLK?
The JCB25BLK is sold as bolts only, 3/8-16 x 2-1/2, fifty to the jar. Order 3/8-16 hex nuts separately, and plan on a flat washer under the nut side since the carriage bolt head is designed to seat without one.
5) What is the Metallics part number for a 3/8-16 x 2-1/2 black carriage bolt?
JCB25BLK is the Metallics number, and the J prefix reflects the jar pack of 50.
