Metallics JSBH7 Bolts 10-32 X 1-1/2 Hxbt SS (Jar 100)

They're 18-8 stainless steel, which is the austenitic grade used where general atmospheric corrosion resistance is needed, including chemical and food-processing equipment. That covers outdoor, washdown, and humid mechanical spaces. Aggressive chemical exposure or salt is a different story, and there 316 stainless is the material to look for instead.

Metallics lists the JSBH7 as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, which is what a government, school, or healthcare procurement file usually needs on fasteners. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so confirm the origin marking on the jar you receive if your submittal requires it documented per shipment.

Tensile runs 85,000 to 140,000 psi minimum with a 45,000 psi minimum yield, and hardness is Rockwell B80 to C32. That is solid for general equipment, enclosure, and strut work, but it is not a substitute for a Grade 5 or Grade 8 hardened steel bolt in a high-load structural connection. Choose stainless here for the corrosion resistance, not for maximum strength.

It ships as a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. Metallics states other sizes and quantities are available by request. The jar packaging keeps loose 10-32 hardware together on a service van or a shop shelf rather than spilling in a drawer.

It's a hex head bolt, so it drives with a socket or open-end wrench rather than a screwdriver. The jar contains bolts only, no nuts or washers, so order 10-32 stainless nuts and washers separately if you aren't threading into a tapped hole.

Yes, it's an 18-8 stainless hex bolt from the SBHC and JSBHC series, the J prefix indicating the jar pack. Metallics describes 18-8 and 316 stainless cap screws as both being austenitic alloy, so the terms hex bolt and hex cap screw are used interchangeably across this series. If a drawing calls out 316 instead of 18-8, this is not the right one.

The packed jar weighs 463 grams, roughly a pound, and the packaging measures 3 in length, 3.6 in height, and 76.2 mm width. Light enough to keep several sizes on a service vehicle without loading it down.
