Metallics G8HC442 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread and diameter is the Metallics G8HC442 hex bolt, and will it take a standard 1 inch nut?
It's a 1 inch diameter bolt with 14 threads per inch, which is the UNF (fine thread) pitch for 1 inch. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.9900 to 1.0000 inch. It needs a 1-14 fine thread nut; a standard 1-8 coarse nut will not thread onto it.
2) Is a Grade 8 bolt stronger than a Grade 5, and when do I actually need it?
Grade 8 is the higher-strength option: 150,000 psi minimum tensile and 130,000 psi minimum yield, hardness Rockwell C33-39. Metallics calls these out for automotive and fleet work where Grade 5 tensile isn't enough. If the joint is highly loaded, vibrating, or torqued to a high spec, Grade 8 is the call. For general bracket and strut work, a Grade 5 is usually sufficient.
3) Does this Metallics Grade 8 bolt meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a federal job?
Metallics flags the G8HC442 as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in its product data. Country of origin is China. If your contract uses a stricter domestic-melt-and-manufacture clause, read the clause against those two flags before you submit it.
4) What wrench or socket size fits the head of a 1-14 x 4 Grade 8 hex bolt?
Across-flats head width is 1.469 to 1.500 inch, so a 1-1/2 inch wrench or socket is the fit. Head height is 43/64 inch, worth knowing if you're working in a counterbore or tight clearance.
5) How many bolts come in a box of Metallics G8HC442?
They ship 10 to a box, and 10 count is the order minimum. Metallics lists other sizes and quantities as available by request.
6) Is a zinc plated Grade 8 bolt OK for outdoor or wet locations?
The G8HC442 is medium carbon steel with a zinc finish. Zinc plating handles indoor and sheltered exterior service, but it is a sacrificial coating, not stainless. For continuous weather exposure, submerged work, or coastal air, go to hot dip galvanized or stainless instead.
7) What steel is used in the Metallics G8HC and JG8HC Grade 8 hex bolts?
Material standard is AISI 1021 to 1045 medium carbon steel, quench and heat treated to reach Grade 8 properties at Rockwell C33-39. That's why it is not weldable the way a mild steel bolt is: welding on a heat-treated Grade 8 destroys the temper.
8) How much does a box of 10 Metallics 1-14 x 4 Grade 8 hex bolts weigh?
The boxed quantity of 10 is listed at 11.6 lbs, with carton dimensions of 7.25 x 6.75 x 3.25 inches. Useful if you're staging material by hand or figuring freight on a multi-box order.
