Metallics JBLS28G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size lag bolt is the Metallics JBLS28G, and what drive does it take?
It's a 1/2 inch diameter by 2 inch long hex head lag bolt in galvanized steel. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.482 to 0.515 inch and the hex head measures 0.725 to 0.750 inch across the flats, so a 3/4 inch socket or wrench drives it. Thread pitch is 6 threads per inch, the spaced coarse thread typical of a lag screw, with a gimlet point so it starts in a pilot hole without a nut.
2) Can I use these lag bolts outdoors or in a damp environment?
Yes. The galvanized finish on these 1/2 x 2 steel lag bolts is specified for use in corrosive environments, which covers exterior framing, damp mechanical rooms, and coastal or wash-down areas. For interior dry work a plain or zinc plated lag would do, but there's no penalty to running the galvanized version everywhere if you want one part number on the truck.
3) Do I need a nut with a hex lag bolt, and should I drill a pilot hole?
No nut. A lag bolt is a screw: the gimlet point and spaced threads cut their own hold in wood, so it only needs access from one side. For a 1/2 inch lag in solid wood you drill a pilot hole for the threaded portion and a clearance hole through the part being fastened, then drive the hex head with a 3/4 inch socket (head measures 0.725 to 0.750 inch across flats). A flat washer under the head is good practice and is not included.
4) How many lag bolts come in a jar, and can I buy fewer than a full jar?
They ship as a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum, so a jar is the smallest buy. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request if 1/2 x 2 isn't the length you need.
5) What grade of steel are Metallics galvanized lag bolts, and what is the tensile strength?
Low carbon steel to AISI 1006-1022, with a minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi and hardness of Rockwell B70 to B100. Dimensions conform to ASME B18.2.1-1996. That's standard commercial lag bolt material, fine for wood framing and strut hangers, not a substitute for a high strength structural bolt where an engineer has called out a specific grade.
6) Do these lag bolts meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a federal job?
Metallics lists the JBLS28G as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, which is what a government or institutional procurement file usually needs on a fastener line item. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your contract requires a single named origin, state that on the order.
