Metallics JG5HTB38 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread is the Metallics JG5HTB38 hex tap bolt?
It's a 1/2-13 bolt, 5 inches long, with right hand threads at 13 threads per inch. Actual shank outside diameter runs 0.4930 to 0.5000 inch, so it passes through a nominal 1/2 inch drilled hole and takes standard 1/2-13 nuts. Dimensions follow ASME B18.2.1-2012.
2) Is a hex tap bolt threaded the full length, and does that matter for mounting a motor?
A tap bolt is threaded all the way to the head, which is what lets it thread directly into a tapped hole at whatever depth you have, instead of needing a specific grip length like a partially threaded hex cap screw. That's why these get used to mount motors to machinery and in automotive and truck repair. If your joint needs an unthreaded shank bearing in the hole, use a partially threaded hex cap screw instead.
3) Is a Grade 5 bolt strong enough for my application, and what are the actual strength numbers?
Grade 5, medium carbon steel, heat treated. Tensile strength is 105,000 psi minimum and hardness is Rockwell C19-30. That covers general machinery mounting and automotive work. For high-load structural or high-vibration joints where a spec calls out 150,000 psi, you need Grade 8 rather than Grade 5.
4) Are these zinc plated bolts okay for outdoor or damp locations?
The finish is zinc over steel, which handles indoor and sheltered conditions and gives moderate corrosion resistance. For sustained wet, coastal, or washdown exposure, zinc plated carbon steel isn't the right call; go to 18-8 stainless or hot dip galvanized hardware in the same 1/2-13 x 5 size.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JG5HTB38, and is there an order minimum?
Each jar holds 25 bolts, and 25 count is the order minimum. A full jar weighs 3075 g. Other sizes and quantities in the G5HTB and JG5HTB series are available by request.
6) Do these Metallics hex tap bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a public project?
The JG5HTB38 is flagged Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant in the manufacturer data. Country of origin is China, so if your project spec requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than the broader compliance flag, verify that against the specific clause in your contract.
7) Do I need to order nuts and washers separately with these tap bolts?
Yes. The JG5HTB38 jar is bolts only, 25 of them. If you're going through a hole rather than into a tapped hole, add 1/2-13 hex nuts and 1/2 inch flat or lock washers in a matching zinc finish so you don't mix a stainless washer against a zinc plated bolt.
8) What steel are these bolts made from, for a submittal?
Material is carbon steel to AISI 1008-1026, heat treated to Grade 5, with a zinc plated finish. Yield is listed at 105,000 psi minimum.
