Metallics JSBH34D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the JSBH34D bolt thread into a 1/2-13 tapped hole or standard 1/2 inch nut?
Yes. It is a 1/2 inch bolt cut at 13 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse thread, with a shank outside diameter of 0.4930 to 0.5000 in. It mates with any 1/2-13 nut or tapped hole. It will not thread into a 1/2-20 fine-thread hole.
2) Can I use 18-8 stainless hex bolts in a food processing plant or a damp mechanical room?
That is the intended use. 18-8 stainless is specified where general atmospheric corrosion resistance is needed, including chemical and food-processing equipment. Harsh chemical exposure, chlorides or coastal salt spray is a different problem, and in those cases 316 stainless is the better choice.
3) Will the JSBH34D bolt work on a federally funded job with Buy American requirements?
No. The Metallics JSBH34D is flagged as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, even though country of origin is listed as the United States. If your contract carries a domestic preference clause, get the compliance confirmed in writing for your specific job before you install it.
4) What wrench size do I need for the Metallics JSBH34D 1/2-13 hex bolt?
Across the flats the hex head measures 0.736 to 0.750 in., so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the fit. Standard for a 1/2 inch diameter hex bolt.
5) Do nuts and washers come with these 1/2-13 stainless hex bolts?
No. The JSBH34D is bolts only, 50 to the jar. Order matching 1/2-13 stainless hex nuts and 1/2 inch stainless flat and lock washers separately so you are not mixing plated steel hardware with stainless, which invites galvanic corrosion in a wet location.
6) How many bolts come in the Metallics JSBH34D and how are they packed?
Fifty bolts in a jar, and 50 count is the order minimum. The jar keeps loose hardware together on a service truck or a shop shelf rather than arriving in a bulk bag.
7) Is there a longer or shorter version of this 1/2-13 stainless hex bolt?
The SBHC and JSBHC series of Metallics stainless hex bolts covers other diameters, lengths and pack quantities, available by request. Specify the thread size and the grip length you need and the same 18-8 material carries across the series.
8) Is this a fully threaded cap screw or a hex bolt with an unthreaded shank?
It is a hex head bolt in 18-8 stainless, 1/2-13 thread. The description groups it with stainless cap screws made from austenitic alloy. If your joint depends on the shank bearing in a reamed hole rather than the threads, verify the grip length suits before you commit the pack.
