Metallics JHTBG47 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JHTBG47 hex tap bolt take, and will standard 1/2 inch nuts fit it?
It's a 1/2-13 bolt, meaning 1/2 inch diameter with 13 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse thread. Any 1/2-13 coarse nut or tapped hole will take it. Threading is to IFI-199 (2014).
2) What grade or strength are the Metallics 1/2-13 hex tap bolts?
Tensile strength is 60,000 psi minimum with a hardness of Rockwell B69 to B100. That is low-carbon commercial grade territory, fine for general mounting, strut, hangers, and support work. For structural connections calling out a specific high-strength grade, you want a higher tensile fastener instead.
3) Is a hex tap bolt the same as a hex cap screw, and when do I use one?
A hex tap bolt is threaded full length right up under the head, unlike a hex cap screw that has a plain shank. Use it when you are threading into a tapped hole or a strut channel nut, or when the grip length varies and you want thread engagement all the way through. The JHTBG47 is a 1/2-13 x 1-1/2 steel hex tap bolt.
4) Can these galvanized bolts be used outdoors or in a damp electrical room?
Yes. The JHTBG47 is galvanized steel, so it holds up to outdoor and damp-location use far better than a plain finish bolt. For hanging strut, conduit racks, and equipment anchoring on exterior walls or in wet mechanical spaces, galvanized is the usual call.
5) What wrench or socket size do I need for these 1/2-13 hex tap bolts?
Head width across flats measures 0.725 to 0.750 inch, so a 3/4 inch socket or wrench is the right fit.
6) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JHTBG47, and can I buy fewer?
They ship 50 to a jar, and 50 each is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest buying unit. The jar runs about 2,386 g gross.
7) Do these Metallics hex tap bolts meet Buy American requirements on a public job?
The JHTBG47 is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your specification requires documentation of a single source country, get the cert for the lot you receive.
8) Can I get this Metallics hex tap bolt in other lengths or pack sizes?
Yes. The JHTBG47 is one size in the HTB, JHTB, and JSHTB hex tap bolt family, and Metallics offers other diameters, lengths, and quantities on request.
