Metallics JHTBG33 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JHTBG33 hex tap bolt take, and will a standard 1/2 inch nut fit it?
It is a 1/2-13 bolt, so 13 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse thread for 1/2 inch diameter. Any 1/2-13 UNC nut or tapped hole will take it. Threading runs full length on a hex tap bolt, unlike a hex cap screw with a plain shank under the head.
2) How strong is the Metallics JHTBG33 bolt, and is it a Grade 5?
Rated at 60,000 psi minimum tensile strength with a hardness range of Rockwell B69 to B100. That strength level is the low-carbon commercial grade range, not a Grade 5 or Grade 8 bolt, so if a drawing calls for a higher grade fastener this is not a substitute. Threads are made to IFI-199 (2014).
3) Will a 2 inch long 1/2-13 bolt be long enough for my strut and clamp stack-up?
The bolt is 2 inches of threaded length under the head. Subtract your total material thickness plus washer and nut height to see what engagement you have left. For a typical 1-5/8 strut plus a clamp and a nut, 2 inches is usually enough, but stacking two channels will not leave adequate thread. Because it is threaded the full 2 inches, you can run the nut anywhere along the length.
4) Is this 1/2 inch hex bolt OK for outdoor or damp electrical work?
Yes. The JHTBG33 is steel with a galvanized finish, which is the usual choice for strut, channel, and ground connections exposed to weather or damp locations. Pair it with galvanized nuts and washers so you are not mixing coatings at the joint.
5) What wrench or socket size do I need for these 1/2-13 hex tap bolts?
Head width across flats measures 0.725 to 0.750 inch, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the fit.
6) How many bolts come in a jar, and can I buy fewer than 50?
The JHTBG33 ships as a jar of 50 bolts, and 50 each is the order minimum. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities by request.
7) Does this Metallics hex tap bolt qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
Metallics lists the JHTBG33 as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant. Country of origin is recorded as multiple, so if your project submittal needs a single named country of manufacture, request documentation on the specific lot.
