Metallics BHC103G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics BHC103G hex bolt take, and will standard 1/2 inch nuts fit it?
The BHC103G is a 1/2-13 hex bolt, meaning 1/2 inch diameter with 13 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse thread. Any 1/2-13 UNC nut or tapped hole will take it. Threads are made to ASME B18.2.1-1996.
2) How many bolts come in a box of Metallics BHC103G, and can I buy fewer?
It ships as a box of 25, and 25 each is the order minimum, so a single bolt is not sold on its own. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC series by request.
3) Does the Metallics BHC103G hex bolt qualify for Buy American or ARRA funded projects?
Metallics flags the BHC103G as compliant for both Buy American and ARRA requirements. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your specification demands a single documented origin, confirm the origin on the lot you receive.
4) Can the Metallics BHC103G galvanized hex bolt be used outdoors or in damp locations?
It is steel with a galvanized finish, which is the usual choice for exterior strut, pipe hanger, and equipment anchoring work where plain zinc would rust out. Metallics lists it for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning use.
5) What wrench or socket size fits the head of the 1/2-13 Metallics hex bolt?
Head width across flats measures 0.725 to 0.750 inch, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the one to grab. It is a standard hex head, not a flange or washer head.
6) Will a 1/2-13 bolt pass through 1/2 inch punched holes in strut and channel?
Shank outside diameter is 0.482 to 0.515 inch. Strut and channel are punched oversize (typically 9/16 inch) for 1/2 inch hardware, so it passes. A hole drilled at exactly 1/2 inch can bind on the high end of that tolerance, so drill 9/16.
7) Does the BHC103G hex bolt come with nuts and washers?
No. The box of 25 is bolts only. Order 1/2-13 hex nuts and 1/2 inch flat or lock washers separately, in a galvanized finish to match so you are not mixing coatings on an exterior connection.
8) How much does a box of 25 of these 1/2 inch galvanized hex bolts weigh for shipping or carrying up a lift?
The packed box runs 16.9 lbs. Box dimensions are 11.5 x 10.75 x 11.5 inches, which matters if you are staging several boxes on a cart or in a gang box.
