Metallics JBRHC86 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/2-13 brass hex bolt thread into a standard 1/2 inch coarse tapped hole or nut?
Yes. The Metallics JBRHC86 is a 1/2-13 bolt, meaning 13 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse pitch for 1/2 inch diameter. The measured outside diameter runs 0.4930 to 0.5000 inch, so it mates with any 1/2-13 nut, coupling, or tapped hole. It will not work in a 1/2-20 fine thread hole.
2) Is the Metallics JBRHC86 a full 1/2 inch bolt or a short screw for ground bars?
It is a 1/2-13 hex bolt with a 3/4 inch length under the head, so the usable grip is short. That suits bolting through a busbar, lug, or bracket where total stack thickness is well under 3/4 inch. If you are clamping thicker material, order a longer length in the same JBRHC series.
3) What wrench or socket size fits the head on the Metallics JBRHC86 brass hex bolt?
The hex head measures 0.736 to 0.750 inch across the flats, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the correct size. Brass is softer than steel, so a six-point socket is the better choice to avoid rounding the corners.
4) Why use a brass bolt instead of a steel or galvanized one on electrical work?
Brass is non-magnetic and corrosion resistant, which is why solid brass hex bolts like the JBRHC86 get specified for grounding and bonding connections, busbar and ground bar hardware, and other spots where you want metal-to-metal continuity without rust or galvanic trouble against copper. Both the body and head of this bolt are brass, not plated steel. For general structural anchoring, steel is the stronger choice.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBRHC86, and can I buy fewer?
They ship in a jar of 50 pieces, and 50 count is the minimum order, so it is sold by the jar rather than by the individual bolt. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities of this bolt by request.
6) Does the jar of Metallics brass hex bolts include nuts or washers?
No. The jar contains 50 brass hex bolts only. Nuts, flat washers, and lock washers are separate items, and if you want the whole assembly to stay non-magnetic and corrosion compatible, order those in brass too.
7) Where are Metallics JBRHC brass hex bolts made, and will they pass a Buy American spec?
Country of origin on the JBRHC86 is China. If your project carries a domestic-sourcing requirement, verify against the specific clause in your contract before you commit to this item.
