Metallics JBHC33PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC33PL hex bolt use, and will it take a standard 1/2 inch nut?
The JBHC33PL is a 1/2-13 hex bolt, meaning 1/2 inch diameter with 13 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse thread. Any standard 1/2-13 UNC nut or tapped 1/2-13 hole will accept it. Threads are made to ASME B18.2.1-1996.
2) Is the Metallics JBHC33PL bolt galvanized or coated for outdoor use?
No. The finish is plain steel, with no plating or coating, so it is for dry interior work only. Plain bolts will surface rust in damp locations, wet areas, or outdoors. If the bolt is going into an exterior pull box, rooftop strut, or any washdown area, specify a galvanized or zinc plated 1/2-13 instead.
3) Will a 1/2-13 hex bolt fit a 1/2 inch hole, or do I need to drill larger?
Thread outside diameter measures 0.482 to 0.515 inch, so a nominal 1/2 inch drilled hole is too tight at the upper end. Drill 9/16 inch for clearance, which is the normal clearance hole for 1/2 inch bolts in steel or strut.
4) What wrench or socket size fits the head of the Metallics JBHC33PL bolt?
Head width across flats runs 0.725 to 0.750 inch on this hex bolt, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the fit. Head height is in the 0.302 to 0.364 inch range, which matters if you are driving it in a counterbore or tight channel.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC33PL, and can I buy fewer?
These ship 50 to a jar, and 50 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. The jar pack is handy on a van or a shop shelf where a loose bag tears open.
6) Does the Metallics JBHC33PL hex bolt meet Buy American requirements on a public job?
The record flags it as compliant for both ARRA and Buy American, while country of origin is listed as China. On a federally funded or government job, hand both of those to your compliance reviewer before you submit it on a materials list, since the two are evaluated against the specific funding rules on your contract.
7) Are nuts and washers included with the Metallics JBHC33PL bolts?
The jar holds bolts only, 50 pieces of 1/2-13 x 2 plain steel hex bolt. Nuts, flat washers, and lock washers are separate line items, so add 1/2-13 nuts and 1/2 inch washers to the order if the connection needs them.
8) How much does a 50 count jar of 1/2-13 x 2 hex bolts weigh for shipping or a van load?
A full jar comes to 6.85 lbs. The jar itself measures 4.5 x 7.25 x 4.5 inches, so it fits a standard parts bin or gang box tray.
