Metallics BHC183G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many bolts come in a box of BHC183G and can I buy just one?
They ship as a box of 10 each, and 10 is the order minimum, so a single bolt isn't an orderable quantity. Order in multiples of 10.
2) Will the BHC183G 1-8 x 3 bolt work on a federally funded or Buy American job?
No. The BHC183G is marked not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic-content requirement, this bolt won't satisfy it and you'll need a domestically sourced hex bolt instead.
3) What wrench or socket size fits the BHC183G bolt head?
Head width across the flats measures 1.450 to 1.500 inches, so a 1-1/2 inch wrench or socket is the fit. Head height is 43/64 inch, which matters if you're working in a tight channel or behind a strut. Across corners the head runs 1.653 to 1.732 inches.
4) Is the BHC183G bolt galvanized for outdoor or wet locations?
Yes. The BHC183G is steel with a galvanized finish, which is what you want for exterior pole line work, grounding hardware, and damp or unconditioned spaces. Pair it with galvanized nuts and washers so you don't set up a dissimilar metal problem at the joint.
5) Does the Metallics BHC183G hex bolt meet ASME B18.2.1?
The thread and head dimensions are built to ASME B18.2.1-1996, the hex bolt and screw dimensional standard. That's the spec to cite if a drawing calls for a standard-dimension 1-8 x 3 hex bolt rather than a proprietary fastener.
6) How much usable grip does a 3 inch long 1 inch hex bolt give me?
Length is measured 3 inches from under the head to the tip, so your total clamped stack (plates, washers, and nut thickness) has to fit inside that. On a 1-8 bolt the nut alone eats roughly 7/8 inch, so plan the material thickness accordingly. If you need more grip, a longer length in the same BHC series is available by request.
