Metallics JBHC35 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC35 hex bolt use, and will standard 1/2 inch nuts fit it?
The JBHC35 is a 1/2-13 hex bolt, meaning a 1/2 inch nominal diameter with 13 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse thread. Any standard 1/2-13 coarse nut, strut nut, or tapped channel will thread onto it. Threads are made to ASME B18.2.1-1996, so it interchanges with other coarse-thread 1/2 inch hardware.
2) Is a Grade 2 zinc plated hex bolt strong enough for strut, conduit racking, and hanger work?
Grade 2 steel is the general purpose strength class, and that is what the JBHC35 is. It is intended for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work, which covers strut assembly, conduit supports, pipe hangers, and general equipment mounting. For structural connections or anything calling out Grade 5 or Grade 8 on the drawing, a Grade 2 bolt will not meet the spec.
3) Do Metallics JBHC35 hex bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a public project?
No. The JBHC35 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this bolt will not satisfy it.
4) What size wrench or socket do I need for a 1/2-13 Metallics hex bolt?
Head width across the flats measures 0.725 to 0.750 inches, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the right tool. Head height falls in the 0.302 to 0.364 inch range.
5) Can I use these zinc plated bolts outdoors or in a wet location?
The finish is zinc plating over steel, which handles indoor and sheltered damp conditions but is not the choice for direct weather exposure, wash-down areas, or corrosive environments. Hot dip galvanized or stainless is what you want for sustained outdoor or wet service.
6) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC35, and can I buy just a few?
They ship 50 to a jar, and 50 each is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest quantity sold. The jar pack is the reason for the JBHC prefix in the Metallics BHC and JBHC series. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
7) What does a jar of 50 of these 1/2-13 x 3 bolts weigh for shipping or carrying up to the roof?
The packaged jar weighs 9.5 pounds and measures 4.5 inches wide by 4.5 inches deep with a 7.25 inch height, so it is a one-hand carry on the cart or in a gang box.
