Metallics JG5HTB36 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this bolt threaded all the way to the head, or does it have a shoulder?
A hex tap bolt is fully threaded to the head, which is what separates it from a hex cap screw with a plain shank. That is why it is used for bolting a motor into a tapped hole in a machine frame, where you want thread engagement the full depth. The JG5HTB36 runs 1/2-13 right hand thread, 13 threads per inch, to ASME B18.2.1-2012.
2) Will a 1/2-13 bolt thread into a tapped hole marked 1/2 UNC?
Yes. 1/2-13 UNC is the same thread as 1/2 inch coarse, 13 threads per inch, right hand. The shank outside diameter is 0.4930 to 0.5000 in., so it also drops through a 1/2 inch clearance hole drilled 17/32 or 9/16.
3) What size wrench or socket do I need for a 1/2-13 Grade 5 hex tap bolt?
The Metallics JG5HTB36 hex tap bolt has a head width across flats of 0.736 to 0.750 in., so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the right size. Standard hex head, no washer face oddities to work around.
4) Are these zinc plated bolts OK for outdoor or damp locations?
These are steel bolts with a zinc finish, which handles indoor and sheltered use and gives moderate corrosion resistance. For continuous wet exposure, coastal air, or chemical washdown, go to 18-8 stainless or hot dip galvanized instead. Zinc plating on a Grade 5 bolt is a mechanical equipment finish, not a marine one.
5) How many bolts come in a jar, and can I buy fewer than a full jar?
The JG5HTB36 ships as a jar of 50 pieces, and 50 count is the order minimum, so it sells by the full jar rather than loose by the piece. Other sizes and quantities can be requested.
6) Does the jar of fifty 1/2 inch bolts include nuts or washers?
No. The JG5HTB36 jar is bolts only, 50 hex tap bolts, 1/2-13 x 3-1/2. If you are bolting through rather than into a tapped hole, order 1/2-13 hex nuts and 1/2 inch flat and lock washers separately in a matching zinc finish.
7) We have Buy American requirements on a federal job. Where are these bolts made?
Country of origin on the Metallics JG5HTB36 hex tap bolt is China. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause on fasteners, that will matter to your submittal, so plan on a domestically produced Grade 5 bolt for those line items.
8) What steel are Metallics G5HTB hex tap bolts made from?
Medium carbon steel in the AISI 1008 to 1026 range, heat treated to reach Grade 5 properties with a minimum 105,000 psi yield. Carbon steel means it is magnetic and will rust if the zinc plating is scraped through, so touch up or seal any field-cut threads.
