Metallics JBHC47PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC47PL hex bolt take, and what nut do I need with it?
It's a 1/2-13 bolt, meaning 1/2 inch nominal diameter at 13 threads per inch, which is the standard UNC coarse pitch for that diameter. Pair it with any standard 1/2-13 coarse hex nut. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.482 to 0.515 inch.
2) Are these plain steel bolts okay for outdoor or damp electrical work?
No. The JBHC47PL is plain finish steel with no plating or coating, so it will rust in wet or exposed locations. Keep it to dry interior use, or specify a zinc plated or galvanized hex bolt of the same 1/2-13 x 1-1/2 size for anything outdoors or in damp areas.
3) What wrench or socket size fits these 1/2-13 hex bolts?
Head width across the flats is 0.725 to 0.750 inch, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the size to grab.
4) How many bolts come in a jar, and can I buy fewer than 50?
These ship 50 to a jar, and 50 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. Metallics does list other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC series on request if 50 of this size isn't the right break.
5) Do these hex bolts meet a recognized dimensional standard for spec work?
Yes, the thread and head dimensions conform to ASME B18.2.1-1996, the standard for square and hex bolts and screws. That's the reference to cite if a submittal asks for a dimensional standard on the fastener.
6) Is the Metallics JBHC47PL bolt Buy American compliant?
It is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA purposes, while country of origin is listed as China. If your project requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than trade-agreement compliance, verify that distinction against your contract language.
7) Is a 1-1/2 inch long 1/2 inch bolt long enough for strut and channel mounting?
At 1-1/2 inches of length under the head, this is sized for clamping through strut, channel, brackets, and hanger assemblies where total stack thickness plus the nut stays under that. Through-bolting thicker built-up assemblies needs a longer bolt in the same 1/2-13 thread.
8) How much does a jar of 50 of these 1/2 inch hex bolts weigh for shipping?
A full jar of 50 comes in at 5.52 lbs. Useful if you're palletizing several jars for a job site drop.
