Metallics JBHC34PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC34PL hex bolt use, and will it take a standard 1/2-13 nut?
It is a 1/2-13 thread, 13 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse for a 1/2 inch bolt. Any standard 1/2-13 hex nut or tapped 1/2-13 hole will take it. Threads are made to ASME B18.2.1-1996.
2) What size hole do I need to drill for this bolt to pass through?
Body diameter runs 0.482 to 0.515 inches, so a 9/16 inch hole gives normal clearance for the 1/2 inch shank. A hole drilled at exactly 1/2 inch will bind.
3) Are these zinc plated or galvanized? Can I use them outdoors?
Plain finish steel, with no plating or coating. Bare steel will rust in a wet or outdoor location, so keep these to dry interior work, temporary fixtures, or anywhere the bolt gets painted or coated after assembly. For exterior or damp runs, order a zinc plated or hot dip galvanized 1/2-13 bolt instead.
4) What wrench or socket size fits the head on this 1/2-13 hex bolt?
The hex head measures 0.725 to 0.750 inches across the flats, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the size to bring. Head type is a standard hex, not a flange or socket head.
5) How many bolts come in a pack, and can I buy fewer than 50?
They ship 50 to a jar, and 50 count is the minimum order, so the jar is the smallest unit sold. Metallics offers other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC series by request.
6) Does the JBHC34PL meet ARRA and Buy American requirements on a federally funded job?
Metallics codes the JBHC34PL as compliant for both ARRA and Buy American. Country of origin on the part is China, so if your specification requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than the compliance coding, confirm that against your contract language before you submit it.
7) Do nuts and washers come with the Metallics JBHC34PL bolts?
Bolts only. The jar of 50 contains the hex bolts and nothing else, so order 1/2-13 hex nuts and 1/2 inch flat or lock washers separately if the connection needs them.
8) How much does a jar of 50 of these 1/2 inch hex bolts weigh for shipping?
A jar comes in at 8.23 lbs. Packed dimensions are 7.25 by 4.5 by 4.5 inches, which matters if you are palletizing a multi-jar MRO order or stocking a shelf bin.
