Metallics JG8HC371 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JG8HC371 bolt a fine thread or coarse thread 1/2 inch bolt?
Fine thread. The JG8HC371 is a 1/2-20 hex bolt, 20 threads per inch, which is the UNF fine pitch rather than the 1/2-13 coarse pitch. It will only mate with 1/2-20 nuts and tapped holes, so don't mix it into an assembly built around coarse thread hardware.
2) How strong is a Grade 8 hex bolt compared to a Grade 5?
The JG8HC371 is a Grade 8 cap screw with 150,000 psi minimum tensile and 130,000 psi minimum yield, hardness Rockwell C33-39. Grade 5 tops out at 120,000 psi tensile, so Grade 8 is the step up when the joint load or clamp force exceeds what a Grade 5 will carry. It's medium carbon steel, heat treated, which is why it is common in automotive and fleet work.
3) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JG8HC371?
25 pieces per jar, and 25 each is the order minimum. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
4) Will a 4 inch long 1/2-20 Grade 8 bolt be long enough for my grip?
The JG8HC371 has a 4 inch nominal length under the head. On a fine thread bolt this length the threads do not run the full shank, so size your total grip (stacked material plus washers plus nut) against that 4 inches and keep at least a couple of threads protruding past the nut.
5) Is the zinc plating on this Grade 8 bolt good enough for outdoor use?
The JG8HC371 is steel with a zinc finish. Zinc plating handles indoor, sheltered, and general equipment service well, but it is a sacrificial coating, not stainless, so in constant wet, coastal, or chemical exposure it will eventually surface rust. For permanently exposed structural work, a hot dip galvanized or stainless fastener is the better pick.
6) Does this Metallics bolt meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public project?
The JG8HC371 is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA, with country of origin listed as multiple. Procurement officers writing a domestic preference clause should file the compliance flags with their submittal package.
7) What is the hex head size on the Metallics 1/2-20 Grade 8 bolt, and will a standard wrench fit?
Head geometry is published as 0.428 - 0.438 in. head width with head height 0.150 - 0.163 in. and shank width 0.484 - 0.505 in. Check those figures against your socket before committing to a tool size on a torque-critical joint.
8) What steel is used in the Metallics G8HC series Grade 8 hex bolts?
Material standard is AISI 1021 - 1045, a medium carbon steel, quench and temper heat treated to reach the Grade 8 hardness band of Rockwell C33-39. That is the same base material family across the G8HC and JG8HC series.
9) How much does a jar of 25 Metallics JG8HC371 bolts weigh for shipping?
Published weight is 2853 g for the jar of 25. Useful if you are batching fastener jars onto a pallet or a service truck with a load limit.
