Metallics JG5HTB34 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch are the Metallics JG5HTB34 hex tap bolts?
They're 1/2-13 bolts: 1/2 inch diameter with 13 threads per inch, right-hand thread, made to ASME B18.2.1-2012. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.4930 to 0.5000 inch, so they take a standard 1/2-13 nut or a tapped 1/2-13 hole.
2) Is a Grade 5 bolt strong enough for mounting a motor to a machine base?
That's the stated use for these. Grade 5 here means 105,000 psi minimum tensile and 105,000 psi minimum yield, with a hardness of Rockwell C19-30, made from AISI 1008-1026 steel. That's the common medium-duty structural/mechanical grade, above Grade 2 and below Grade 8. For high shock or high preload joints, step up to Grade 8.
3) Do these Metallics hex tap bolts meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public job?
The JG5HTB34 hex tap bolt is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American in the manufacturer data. Country of origin is listed as China, so if your contract requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than the broader compliance flag, verify against the specific clause on your project.
4) What's the difference between a hex tap bolt and a regular hex cap screw?
A hex tap bolt is threaded the full length of the shank instead of having a plain grip section. That matters when you're threading into a tapped hole or when your clamped stack is thin and you need threads engaging all the way up. The JG5HTB34 is a Grade 5 hex tap bolt in 1/2-13 x 2-1/2 inch, medium carbon steel, heat treated.
5) What wrench or socket size fits these 1/2-13 hex tap bolts?
The hex head measures 0.736 to 0.750 inch across the flats, which is a 3/4 inch wrench or socket. Head type is a standard hex.
6) Are these zinc plated or bare steel, and can I use them outdoors?
Steel with a zinc finish. Zinc plating handles indoor and sheltered use and light weather exposure, but it isn't hot-dip galvanizing or stainless. For continuous wet, coastal, or corrosive duty, go to 18-8 stainless or a hot-dip galvanized bolt instead.
7) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JG5HTB34, and can I buy fewer?
They ship as a jar of 50, and 50 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest buy. Metallics offers other sizes and quantities in the G5HTB and JG5HTB hex tap bolt line by request.
