Metallics JBHC36 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC36 hex bolt take, and will a standard 1/2 inch nut fit it?
The JBHC36 is a 1/2-13 hex bolt, so 13 threads per inch, which is the UNC coarse pitch for 1/2 inch diameter. Any standard 1/2-13 coarse nut or tapped 1/2-13 hole will thread onto it. It is dimensioned to ASME B18.2.1-1996, so head and body sizes match standard hex bolt wrenching.
2) Are Metallics JBHC36 bolts acceptable on a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. These bolts are not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing requirements you will need a domestically produced fastener instead.
3) What size wrench or socket do I need for a 1/2-13 Metallics hex bolt?
Head width across flats runs 0.725 to 0.750 inch, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the one you want. Head type is hex, driven from the outside, no internal drive.
4) Can I use these zinc plated hex bolts outdoors or in a wet location?
Zinc plated steel is a light corrosion finish, fine for dry indoor and covered work. For sustained exposure to weather, masonry contact, or washdown areas, step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless; plating wears thin at the threads once you wrench it down.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC36, and is there a minimum order?
Each jar holds 25 bolts, and the order minimum is 25 each, so one jar is the smallest buy. The jar pack keeps loose hardware together on a service truck better than a poly bag. Other sizes and quantities can be had by request.
6) Does the JBHC36 come with nuts and washers?
No, the jar is bolts only, 25 of them. Order 1/2-13 hex nuts and 1/2 inch flat or lock washers separately to complete the assembly.
7) What trades is this zinc hex bolt intended for?
Metallics lists it for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. In practice that means hanging strut and trapeze, mounting enclosures and panels, securing equipment feet and clamps, general MRO fastening where a Grade 2 bolt is enough.
8) How much does a jar of 25 Metallics 1/2-13 x 3-1/2 hex bolts weigh?
5.57 lbs for the packaged jar. Useful if you are building out a stocking list or a truck inventory and watching shelf load.
