Metallics JSHTB35 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/2-13 stainless tap bolt work in a wet or outdoor install without rusting?
The JSHTB35 is 18-8 stainless steel, so it holds up in damp, washdown and exterior conditions far better than a zinc plated bolt, where the plating wears at the threads and the wrenching flats first. For rooftop condenser mounts, exterior strut runs and pool or kitchen equipment anchoring, stainless is the right call. Pair it with stainless nuts and washers so you aren't setting up a galvanic couple at the joint.
2) What strength does this stainless hex tap bolt carry, and can I use it where a Grade 5 bolt is specified?
Metallics rates it at 95,000 psi minimum tensile and 60,000 psi minimum yield, with hardness of Rockwell B95 to C32. That is typical 18-8 stainless property class territory, and it is below a Grade 5 steel bolt's 120,000 psi tensile. If a drawing calls out Grade 5 or Grade 8 specifically, don't swap stainless in on strength grounds, use it where corrosion resistance is the governing requirement.
3) Will this bolt thread into a standard 1/2 inch coarse nut or tapped hole?
Yes. The thread is 1/2-13 UNC, right hand, made to IFI-199 (2014). It mates with any standard 1/2-13 nut, coupling nut, strut channel nut or 1/2 inch tapped hole. It will not fit a 1/2-20 fine thread hole, that is a different pitch.
4) Does the Metallics JSHTB35 meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a federal or public project?
No. Metallics lists this stainless tap bolt as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin recorded as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this part will not satisfy it and you'll need a documented domestic-origin fastener instead.
5) What size wrench or socket fits the head on a Metallics 1/2-13 hex tap bolt?
Head width across the flats measures 0.725 to 0.750 inch, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the one to grab. Standard hex head, nothing proprietary, and it drives with a plain 3/4 inch deep socket in strut or channel work.
