Metallics JBHC66 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC66 hex bolt take, and will a standard 1/2 inch nut fit it?
The JBHC66 is a 1/2-13 hex bolt, meaning a 1/2 inch nominal diameter with 13 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse thread. Any 1/2-13 UNC nut or tapped hole mates with it. The bolt is made to ASME B18.2.1-1996, the dimensional standard for hex bolts, so head and body dimensions follow that spec.
2) Is the Metallics JBHC66 a Grade 5 or Grade 8 bolt?
Neither. It is a Grade 2 steel hex bolt, which is low carbon, unhardened material intended for general fastening rather than high tensile structural or machine loads. If a drawing calls for Grade 5 or Grade 8, this is not the substitute.
3) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC66, and can I buy just a few?
It ships as a jar of 50 pieces, and 50 each is the order minimum. There is no loose or small count break on this item. The jar format is the handy pack a van or shop bin keeps for repeat work.
4) Do Metallics JBHC66 hex bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a government job?
No. The JBHC66 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing language, you need a domestically produced fastener instead.
5) What wrench or socket size does a 1/2-13 Metallics hex bolt need?
Head width across flats measures 0.725 to 0.750 inch on the JBHC66, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the right tool. Head type is a standard hex.
6) Can zinc plated steel hex bolts be used outdoors or in a wet location?
The JBHC66 is zinc plated steel. Zinc plating gives moderate corrosion resistance for dry interior and sheltered use. For sustained outdoor exposure, washdown areas, or anywhere in contact with treated lumber, a hot dip galvanized or stainless fastener holds up better.
7) Will a Metallics JBHC66 bolt pass through a 1/2 inch hole in strut or an angle bracket?
Body diameter runs 0.482 to 0.515 inch, so it is a nominal 1/2 inch bolt. It needs a 9/16 inch hole for clearance. A drilled or punched hole at exactly 1/2 inch will bind, which matters when you are reusing existing bracket prep.
8) Are nuts and washers included with the Metallics JBHC66 jar?
The jar contains 50 hex bolts only. Nuts, flat washers, and lock washers are separate line items, so order 1/2-13 hex nuts and 1/2 inch washers alongside if the assembly needs them.
9) I need a different length or a larger pack of 1/2-13 hex bolts. Does Metallics offer them?
Yes. The BHC and JBHC series runs other diameters, lengths, and pack quantities beyond the 1/2-13 x 2-1/4 jar of 50, available by request. BHC is the series designation for the bulk packaging and JBHC for the jar.
10) How much does a jar of 50 Metallics 1/2-13 x 2-1/4 hex bolts weigh?
The packed jar weighs 7.46 lbs. Worth knowing if you are loading a van with several sizes or staging bins on an upper floor.
