Metallics JHTB63 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread and size is the Metallics JHTB63 hex tap bolt?
It's a 1/2-13 bolt, 6 inches long. The 13 means 13 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse thread for a 1/2 inch diameter, so it mates with any 1/2-13 nut, coupling, or tapped hole. Threads are made to IFI-199 (2014).
2) Is a hex tap bolt the same as a hex cap screw, and does it come threaded all the way?
A tap bolt is the fully threaded version. That's the difference between the JHTB63 and a partially threaded hex cap screw of the same 1/2-13 by 6 inch size: thread runs the full length, so you can set your grip anywhere along it and thread into a tapped hole at any depth. If your joint needs an unthreaded shank bearing in the hole, use a hex cap screw instead.
3) How strong is the JHTB63 bolt, and is it a graded structural fastener?
Tensile strength is 60,000 psi minimum with hardness at Rockwell B69-B100. That's general purpose strength, fine for hanging strut, trapeze supports, equipment mounting and similar electrical and mechanical work. If a drawing calls out a higher strength structural bolt, this isn't the one to put in.
4) Does the Metallics JHTB63 meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a federal or publicly funded job?
Yes, the JHTB63 is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA, which is what an institutional or government procurement file usually needs on a fastener line item.
5) What wrench or socket size fits the head on this 1/2 inch Metallics tap bolt?
Head width across flats measures 0.725 to 0.750 in., so a 3/4 inch socket or wrench is the fit. Across corners it runs 0.826 to 0.866 in., useful to know if you're working in a tight channel or against a strut flange.
6) Will a zinc plated steel bolt hold up outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The JHTB63 is steel with a zinc finish, which handles indoor and sheltered work and resists incidental moisture. For sustained outdoor exposure, washdown, or corrosive atmospheres, step up to the 18-8 stainless version in the same hex tap bolt family (the JSHTB models) rather than zinc.
7) How many bolts come in a jar of JHTB63, and can I get a different size?
Sold as a jar of 25, with 25 each the order minimum. Other lengths and diameters in the hex tap bolt line, plus other pack quantities, are available by request if 6 inch isn't the grip you need.
8) Do nuts and washers come with these hex tap bolts?
No. A jar of 25 JHTB63 is bolts only. You'll need to order 1/2-13 hex nuts and 1/2 inch flat or lock washers separately to make up the joint.
