Metallics JBHC86PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC86PL hex bolt take, and will a standard 1/2-13 nut fit it?
The JBHC86PL is a 1/2-13 hex bolt, so 13 threads per inch on a 1/2 inch diameter: that's standard UNC coarse thread, and any 1/2-13 coarse nut or tapped hole will take it. Threads are made to ASME B18.2.1-1996, the dimensional standard for square and hex bolts and screws.
2) How thick a material can a 1/2-13 x 3/4 hex bolt clamp?
Short answer: not much. The JBHC86PL has a 3/4 inch shank, so once you allow for the nut engagement you're looking at thin assemblies, strut and channel work, or bolting into a tapped hole. If you're stacking a strut nut plus a bracket plus a washer, step up to a longer 1/2-13 bolt instead.
3) Is the Metallics JBHC86PL plated or bare steel? Can I use it outdoors?
These are plain finish steel, meaning no zinc or galvanized coating. Keep them to dry interior work, inside enclosures, or anywhere you're painting over the assembly. For damp locations, exterior strut, or anything exposed to weather, order a galvanized or zinc plated 1/2-13 bolt instead, because plain steel will start surface rusting.
4) What wrench or socket size does the JBHC86PL 1/2-13 bolt need?
Across the flats the head measures 0.725 to 0.750 inch, so a 3/4 inch wrench or socket is the one to grab. Across the corners it runs 0.826 to 0.866 inch, which matters if you are working in a tight pocket or counterbore.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC86PL, and can I buy fewer?
They ship as a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the unit. Metallics does make other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC bolt line on request if 100 of this size isn't what the job needs.
6) Do Metallics JBHC86PL bolts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA job?
The JBHC86PL is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA in the manufacturer data, while country of origin is listed as China. On federally funded work where the specification language is strict, have your spec writer confirm which provision applies before you submit.
7) What is the exact shank diameter on these 1/2 inch hex bolts? I need them to pass a drilled hole.
Measured outside diameter runs 0.482 to 0.515 inch on the JBHC86PL, which is the usual tolerance band for a nominal 1/2 inch bolt. A 9/16 inch clearance hole gives you room; a drilled 1/2 inch hole will be a tight to interference fit at the top of that range.
8) Do Metallics JBHC86PL bolts come with nuts or washers?
No. The jar holds bolts only, 100 pieces of 1/2-13 x 3/4 hex bolt. Order 1/2-13 hex nuts, flat washers, and lock washers separately to complete the assembly.
9) How much does a jar of 100 of these 1/2-13 bolts weigh for shipping or carrying up a ladder?
A full jar comes in at 7.39 lbs, with the jar itself about 3 by 3 inches and 4.57 inches tall. Worth knowing if you're loading a van with several sizes or stocking a service truck bin.
