Metallics JHTBG46 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JHTBG46 hex tap bolt use, and will it thread into a 1/2-13 nut or tapped hole?
The JHTBG46 is a 1/2-13 hex tap bolt, so 13 threads per inch in UNC coarse pitch. It mates with any standard 1/2-13 nut, strut nut, or tapped 1/2 inch coarse hole. Threading runs the full 1 inch length, which is what makes it a tap bolt rather than a partially threaded hex cap screw. Thread form follows IFI-199 (2014).
2) What is the strength rating on these Metallics galvanized hex tap bolts?
60,000 psi minimum tensile strength, with hardness of Rockwell B69 to B100. That is low-carbon commercial grade material, appropriate for general electrical support work, strut, hangers, and bracketry. It is not a structural high-strength bolt, so if your drawing calls out a graded structural fastener, specify accordingly.
3) Can these 1/2 inch galvanized hex tap bolts be used outdoors or in damp locations?
Yes. These are steel bolts with a galvanized finish, which is the normal spec for exterior, wet, and unheated indoor runs, rooftop equipment supports, and strut channel in damp locations. For pairing, use galvanized nuts and washers so you aren't mixing coatings on the same joint.
4) What size wrench or socket fits a Metallics 1/2-13 hex tap bolt head?
The hex head measures 0.725 to 0.750 inch across the flats, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the right tool. Head height runs in the range stated on the spec sheet for this size, so standard sockets seat without an extension on open work.
5) Do these bolts meet Buy American requirements for a federal or publicly funded job?
The JHTBG46 hex tap bolt is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA on the manufacturer's data. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so for a job that requires documented origin on the specific lot, request certification with the order.
6) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JHTBG46, and is there a minimum order?
Each jar holds 50 of the 1/2-13 x 1 inch galvanized hex tap bolts, and 50 pieces is the order minimum. The jar packaging keeps loose fasteners contained on a van or a gang box. Other sizes and pack quantities in the HTB, JHTB, and JSHTB series can be requested.
7) What is the difference between a hex tap bolt and a hex cap screw?
A tap bolt is threaded the entire length of the shank; a hex cap screw leaves an unthreaded shoulder under the head. Full threading is what you want when the bolt threads directly into a tapped hole, a strut nut, or a thin channel where there is no room for a plain shank. The JHTBG46 is the 1/2-13 x 1 inch galvanized version of that full-thread style.
