Metallics JHTB48 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How strong is the JHTB48 bolt? Can I use it for structural steel connections?
Tensile strength is 60,000 psi minimum with a hardness of Rockwell B69-B100, which is commercial low-carbon grade, not a Grade 5 or Grade 8 bolt. It's specified for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work: strut, hangers, trapeze supports, equipment mounting. For a structural steel connection carrying design load, go to a higher grade fastener instead.
2) Will a standard 1/2-13 nut thread onto this bolt?
Yes. The thread is 1/2-13 UNC, right hand, made to IFI-199 (2014), so any standard 1/2-13 hex nut, coupling nut, or tapped 1/2-13 strut insert will run on it. Nothing unusual about the pitch or the direction.
3) Does the Metallics JHTB48 meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The JHTB48 is not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries domestic sourcing language, this bolt won't satisfy it.
4) What size wrench or socket do I need for a 1/2-13 Metallics 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 fit. Head height runs 0.302 to 0.364 inch.
5) Is zinc plated steel okay for outdoor or damp locations?
The JHTB48 is steel with a zinc finish, which handles indoor and normally dry conditions fine. Zinc plating is a sacrificial coating, not stainless, so for wet exterior, coastal, or washdown areas you want 18-8 stainless hex tap bolts in the same 1/2-13 x 4 size rather than the zinc version.
6) What's the difference between the HTB, JHTB and JSHTB hex tap bolts?
They're the same hex tap bolt family packaged and specified differently. The JHTB prefix, as on the JHTB48, is the zinc plated steel bolt in a jar pack of 25. JSHTB is the stainless version of the series. Pick by material and pack format, not by thread, since the 1/2-13 x 4 geometry is common across them.
