Metallics JBHC66G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC66G hex bolt take, and will a standard 1/2 inch nut fit it?
The JBHC66G is a 1/2-13 hex bolt, 13 threads per inch, which is standard 1/2 inch UNC coarse thread. Any 1/2-13 coarse nut or tapped hole will take it. Thread form is to ASME B18.2.1-1996.
2) What size wrench or socket do I need for a 1/2-13 Metallics 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 right tool. Across the corners it runs 0.826 to 0.866 inches, which is what you need clearance for in a tight channel or box.
3) Will a 1/2-13 hex bolt pass through a 1/2 inch hole?
No, not reliably. The shank on the JBHC66G runs 0.482 to 0.515 inches in diameter, so a nominal 1/2 inch hole can be tighter than the bolt. Drill or punch 9/16 inch for a clean slip fit.
4) Is a galvanized hex bolt like the Metallics JBHC66G suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
Yes. The JBHC66G is steel with a galvanized finish, which is the usual choice for exterior strut, hanger and equipment mounting where plain zinc-plated steel would rust. For fully submerged or chemically aggressive conditions you want stainless instead.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC66G?
Each jar holds 50 of the 1/2-13 x 2-1/4 galvanized hex bolts, and 50 count is also the order minimum, so a jar is the smallest buy. Metallics lists other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC series by request.
6) Will a 2-1/4 inch long bolt be long enough for my assembly?
The JBHC66G gives 2-1/4 inches of shank under the head, so figure your total stack of material plus washers plus enough thread to fully engage the nut (about 1/2 inch for a 1/2 inch bolt). Add the head height of roughly 0.302 to 0.364 inches if you are checking overall length through a sleeve or recess.
7) Does the Metallics JBHC66G hex bolt qualify for a Buy American or ARRA job?
Metallics flags the JBHC66G as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant. Country of origin is listed as China, so if your specification requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than the broader compliance flag, verify against your project's exact clause.
8) Are nuts and washers included with the Metallics JBHC66G jar?
No. The jar contains 50 hex bolts only, 1/2-13 x 2-1/4 galvanized. Order 1/2-13 nuts and 1/2 inch flat or lock washers separately, and match the galvanized finish so you are not pairing dissimilar coatings outdoors.
9) How much does a jar of 50 Metallics JBHC66G bolts weigh for shipping?
A jar of 50 comes in at 7.51 lbs. The jar itself is listed at 4.5 inches wide by 4.5 inches long by 7.25 inches high, which matters if you are loading a van shelf or a job box with several jars.
