Metallics JBHC66PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch is the Metallics JBHC66PL hex bolt?
It's a 1/2-13 hex bolt, meaning 1/2 inch nominal diameter with 13 threads per inch, which is the standard UNC coarse pitch for 1/2 inch. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.482 to 0.515 inch. It mates with any standard 1/2-13 nut or tapped hole, so if your strut nuts, beam clamps or channel inserts are 1/2-13, this threads straight in.
2) Is this plain steel bolt OK for outdoor or damp electrical work?
No. The JBHC66PL is plain finish carbon steel, with no zinc, galvanizing or other plating, so it will rust in wet, outdoor or washdown locations. Keep it to dry interior work, or move to a galvanized or stainless 1/2-13 hex bolt of the same length for anything exposed to weather or moisture.
3) What wrench or socket size do I need for these 1/2-13 hex bolts?
Head width across flats measures 0.725 to 0.750 inch, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket fits. That is the standard hex size for a 1/2 inch bolt built to ASME B18.2.1, which this one is.
4) How many bolts come in a jar, and is there a minimum order?
Each jar holds 50 bolts, and 50 count is the order minimum, so a jar is the smallest buy. Jar packaging keeps the loose hardware contained on a service truck or in a shop bin. Other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC series are available by request.
5) Do these Metallics bolts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded project?
The record flags the JBHC66PL as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as China. If your specification requires domestically melted and manufactured fasteners, treat the origin as the governing fact and have your compliance officer confirm against the exact clause in your contract.
6) Is a plain steel hex bolt the right choice for grounding or bonding connections?
Not the best pick. Plain carbon steel has no plating, and bare steel at an electrical connection point invites corrosion and rising resistance over time. For bonding and grounding use a plated or silicon bronze fastener instead. The JBHC66PL suits mechanical duty, hanging strut, brackets, enclosure and equipment mounting in dry interior areas.
7) Will these hex bolts work with standard 1/2 inch nuts and washers I already stock?
Yes. The JBHC66PL is built to ASME B18.2.1-1996 dimensions with a hex head, so it interchanges with any standard 1/2-13 nut, flat washer and lock washer in your bin. Head height runs 0.302 to 0.364 inch, within normal hex bolt proportions, so it clears typical counterbores and strut nut pockets.
8) How much does a jar of 50 of these 1/2-13 x 2-1/4 bolts weigh for shipping?
Shipping weight on the jar is 16.4 lbs, with carton dimensions of 4.5 by 4.5 by 7.25 inches. Useful if you are staging multiple jars on a job cart or figuring freight on a bulk MRO order.
