Metallics JBHC46PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch is the Metallics JBHC46PL hex bolt?
It's a 1/2-13 bolt: 1/2 inch nominal diameter with 13 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse thread. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.482 to 0.515 inch. It mates with any 1/2-13 nut or tapped 1/2-13 hole, and it will not thread into a 1/2-20 fine-thread nut.
2) How long is the JBHC46PL bolt, and is 1 inch enough grip for strut and channel work?
The bolt is 1 inch long under the head. Allowing for a nut and washer, that leaves usable grip for material in the range of roughly a quarter to a half inch, so it suits bolting through strut, a channel nut, a bracket flange, or thin plate. For thicker stacked assemblies you need a longer 1/2-13 bolt.
3) Is this bolt plated or bare steel, and can I use it outdoors?
Plain finish steel, no plating or coating. Bare steel will rust in wet or outdoor service, so keep these for dry interior work (indoor strut runs, panel and enclosure mounting, equipment bases). For damp locations, exterior, or anywhere corrosion matters, specify a zinc plated or stainless 1/2-13 bolt instead.
4) What wrench or socket size fits the head on this Metallics 1/2-13 hex bolt?
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. That's the normal head size for a 1/2 inch hex bolt, so standard ratchets and impact sockets in a contractor's kit will fit.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC46PL?
50 bolts per jar, and 50 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the unit you buy. The jar packaging keeps loose fasteners contained on a cart or in a van bin rather than spilling in a bag. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request.
6) Do these hex bolts meet Buy American requirements for a federally funded job?
The JBHC46PL is flagged as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in Metallics' data, with country of origin China. On a federally funded project, hand both of those facts to your compliance reviewer, since the applicable rule on your contract decides what qualifies.
7) Is JBHC46PL a hex head bolt or a hex socket cap screw?
External hex head, driven with a wrench or socket, not an Allen key. If your detail calls for a socket head cap screw with an internal hex drive, this is not that fastener.
8) What does a jar of 50 of these 1/2 inch bolts weigh for shipping or van stock?
A jar of 50 weighs 4.25 lbs, and the container measures 3.5 x 5.75 x 3.5 inches. Light enough to keep several sizes of the BHC and JBHC series on a service truck without eating payload or shelf space.
