Metallics JCB101SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this carriage bolt stainless, and will it hold up outdoors or in a wet mechanical room?
The JCB101SS is 18-8 stainless steel made to ASTM F593, which is the standard covering stainless steel bolts for corrosion service. 18-8 (A2-type austenitic) handles outdoor, damp, and washdown environments far better than plain or zinc-plated carbon steel. For chloride-heavy exposure such as coastal or pool chemical areas, 316 stainless is the step up.
2) Can I use these stainless carriage bolts on a federally funded or Buy American job?
No. The JCB101SS is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin recorded as multiple. For a job carrying domestic-content requirements you need a bolt with a documented US origin.
3) How big is the head on a 1/2 inch carriage bolt, and will it bear on wood without a washer?
Head width runs 1.032 to 1.094 inches with a head height of 0.250 to 0.270 inch, built to ASME B18.5. That's a mushroom (round) head roughly an inch across, so it spreads load on timber and strut better than a hex head of the same diameter and leaves a smooth, tamper-unfriendly face. The square shoulder under the head is what locks it in wood, so no washer is needed on the head side; use a washer under the nut.
4) Do carriage bolts need a wrench on both ends like a hex bolt?
No, that's the point of them. A carriage bolt has a smooth mushroom head with no driving feature, so you tighten from the nut side only. The square shoulder beneath the head bites into wood or seats in a square hole and keeps the bolt from spinning. If you need to torque from the head, use a hex head bolt instead.
5) What trades actually use these stainless carriage bolts?
Metallics positions the CB and JCB carriage bolt line for the electrical, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning trades. Typical use is hanging and anchoring: strut and channel assemblies, equipment support framing, rooftop curbs and sleepers, and any wood-to-metal connection where you want corrosion resistance and a smooth head on the exposed side.
