Metallics JSHTB46D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JSHTB46D hex tap bolt take, and will it thread into a 1/2-13 tapped hole?
It is a 1/2-13 bolt, so 1/2 inch diameter at 13 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse. It will thread straight into any 1/2-13 tapped hole or 1/2-13 nut. Threads are made to IFI-199 (2014). Note it is a tap bolt, meaning the thread runs the full length of the 1 inch shank, so there is no unthreaded shoulder to work with.
2) Is the JSHTB46D bolt stainless, and can I use it outdoors or in a damp electrical enclosure?
The material is 18-8 stainless steel, the common 300-series austenitic grade used for outdoor and wet-location work. It will not rust like plain or zinc-plated steel, which is why it gets specified for exterior strut, enclosure, and grounding hardware. Keep in mind 18-8 is a lower-strength material than a Grade 5 or Grade 8 carbon bolt: tensile is 95,000 psi minimum and yield 60,000 psi minimum.
3) Does the Metallics JSHTB46D qualify for Buy American and ARRA projects?
Yes. The bolt is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA, and country of origin is the United States. That is the combination federal, municipal, and institutional jobs ask for when fasteners are on the submittal.
4) Is this stainless bolt strong enough to replace a Grade 5 bolt in a structural connection?
No, not as a direct swap. The 18-8 stainless here is rated 95,000 psi tensile and 60,000 psi yield minimum, below what a Grade 5 carbon bolt delivers. Hardness runs Rockwell B95 to C32. Use these where corrosion resistance drives the choice, such as outdoor strut, enclosures, and bonding hardware, and stay with a graded carbon bolt where the load calculation is the controlling factor.
5) What wrench or socket size fits the head on this 1/2-13 Metallics tap bolt?
Head width across flats runs 0.725 to 0.750 inch, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the tool for it. Across corners the head measures 0.826 to 0.866 inch, worth checking if you are driving it inside a tight channel or a deep counterbore.
6) How are these 1/2-13 stainless tap bolts packaged, and what is the minimum I can buy?
They ship in a jar of 50, and 50 count is the order minimum. Jar packaging is handy for a van or a shop bin rather than a loose bulk box. Other sizes and quantities can be had by request.
