Metallics BHC47V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many bolts come in a box, and can I buy fewer than 500?
These ship as a box of 500 pieces, and 500 is the order minimum, so it is a full-carton purchase rather than a loose-count item. Metallics lists other sizes and quantities as available by request if 500 of this size is more than the job needs.
2) What wrench or socket size do I need for a 1/2-13 Metallics hex bolt?
Across the flats the hex head measures 0.725 to 0.750 inch, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the one to grab. Standard hex head, no washer face or flange.
3) Are these bolts zinc plated steel, and can I use them outdoors?
Material is steel with a zinc finish. Zinc plating handles indoor and protected-exterior service, like strut and channel assemblies, equipment mounting and panel work. For continuous weather exposure, washdown areas or coastal sites, step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless instead, since plated zinc is a thin sacrificial coating.
4) Does the Metallics BHC47V hex bolt meet a dimensional standard for spec work?
Yes. Head and thread dimensions conform to ASME B18.2.1-1996, the standard for square and hex bolts and screws. If your drawing calls for a B18.2.1 hex bolt in 1/2-13, this answers it dimensionally.
5) Will a 1-1/2 inch long bolt be long enough for my assembly?
At 1-1/2 inches of overall length under the head, this size suits clamped thicknesses of roughly an inch or less once you allow for a nut and washer, which covers typical strut, bracket and enclosure-to-support connections. On a 1/2-13 bolt at this short length, expect thread running most of the way to the head, so there is little unthreaded shank for shear bearing. If your grip is thicker or you need a defined shoulder, order a longer length instead.
6) Do I get nuts and washers with these bolts, or do I order those separately?
Bolts only. The box of 500 is bare 1/2-13 x 1-1/2 zinc plated hex bolts, so order matching 1/2-13 hex nuts and 1/2 inch flat or lock washers in the same zinc finish separately to keep the coating consistent through the joint.
7) How heavy is a box of 500 of these 1/2 inch hex bolts for shipping and jobsite handling?
A full box runs 52.13 lbs, in a carton measuring 9 x 9 x 6.13 inches. That is a one-hand-is-not-enough box, worth knowing if it is going up a ladder or into a service van with other cartons.
8) Where are Metallics BHC series hex bolts made?
Country of origin on the BHC47V is China. If a project has a domestic-sourcing requirement in the contract, that is the line item to check before you commit the box.
