Metallics JSHTB46 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JSHTB46 hex tap bolt threaded all the way to the head?
Yes. The JSHTB46 is a hex tap bolt, which means the 1/2-13 thread runs the full 1 inch length with no unthreaded shank. Metallics lists it for complete thread engagement applications, so it's the bolt to use when you're threading into a tapped hole, a channel nut, or a strut insert and need every turn of thread working.
2) Will a 1/2-13 stainless hex tap bolt work in outdoor or wet electrical and plumbing work?
The JSHTB46 is 18-8 stainless steel, which is the usual choice for damp, outdoor, and washdown locations where a zinc-plated bolt would rust out. Metallics lists it for electrical, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning work. Keep in mind 18-8 is a corrosion grade, not a high-strength grade: tensile is 95,000 psi minimum and yield 60,000 psi minimum, so for heavy structural loads you'd want a higher-strength steel bolt instead.
3) Does this stainless hex tap bolt meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The JSHTB46 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic-sourcing clause, this bolt won't satisfy it.
4) Will the JSHTB46 thread into standard 1/2 inch strut channel nuts and tapped holes?
It's a right-hand 1/2-13 UNC thread cut to IFI-199 (2014), which is the standard coarse 1/2 inch thread used on channel nuts, beam clamps, rod couplings, and most tapped equipment holes. Anything tapped 1/2-13 will take it. At 1 inch long, keep an eye on grip: that length is sized for thin material plus full nut engagement, not for stacking several inches of steel.
5) What wrench or socket size fits the Metallics JSHTB46 hex tap bolt?
Head width across flats runs 0.725 to 0.750 inch on the JSHTB46, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is what you need. Across corners it measures 0.826 to 0.866 inch, which matters if you're setting it in a tight channel or next to a conduit run.
6) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JSHTB46, and can I get other sizes?
Each jar holds 50 pieces of the 1/2-13 x 1 inch stainless hex tap bolt, and 50 each is the order minimum. Metallics also makes other sizes and quantities in the HTB, JHTB, and JSHTB series by request if 1/2-13 x 1 isn't the length you need.
7) Is 18-8 stainless hard enough to keep the hex from rounding off under a wrench?
Hardness on these bolts is Rockwell B95 to C32, which holds up to normal wrenching on a 3/4 inch head. Stainless does gall when driven dry into a stainless nut, so an anti-seize on the thread is worth it when you're torquing many of them in a row.
