Metallics JBLS35G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/2 x 3 inch galvanized lag bolt hold up outdoors or in a wet location?
Yes. The Metallics JBLS35G is a galvanized steel lag bolt made for corrosive environments, which covers exterior framing, damp mechanical rooms and coastal work. The galvanized coating is the only finish on this bolt, so if your spec calls for stainless, this is not the part.
2) What size pilot hole and driver do I need for a 1/2 inch Metallics lag bolt?
The JBLS35G runs a shank outside diameter of 0.482 to 0.515 inch with 6 threads per inch and a gimlet point, so it pulls itself into a pilot hole sized under the shank in wood. Drive it with a wrench or socket on the hex head, not a screwdriver: head width across flats measures 0.725 to 0.750 inch, which a 3/4 inch socket covers.
3) Is a 3 inch lag bolt long enough to anchor through a 2x4 plate into framing?
At 3 inches of overall length, the JBLS35G passes through a nominal 2x member (1-1/2 inches actual) and still leaves about 1-1/2 inches of thread biting into the member behind it. For thicker standoffs, shimmed mounts or doubled plates, you need a longer lag; Metallics offers other lengths in the BLS and JBLS series.
4) What is the strength rating on the Metallics JBLS35G lag bolt?
Minimum tensile strength is 60,000 psi, with hardness in the Rockwell B70 to B100 range, made from low carbon steel per AISI 1006 to 1022. Dimensions conform to ASME B18.2.1-1996. That is standard low carbon lag bolt territory, not a high strength structural bolt, so if a drawing calls out a graded structural fastener this is not a substitute.
5) Can I use these lag bolts on a federally funded or Buy American job?
Metallics lists the JBLS35G as ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant. Country of origin is China. If your contract requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than Buy American Act compliance, verify against your specific contract language before you commit the material.
6) Should I use a lag bolt or a through bolt with a nut for mounting conduit racks and strut?
A lag bolt like the JBLS35G is the right call when you can only reach one side of the material, typically wood framing or blocking, because the spaced threads and gimlet point cut their own hold without a nut. If you have access to both faces, or you are fastening to steel, a machine bolt with a nut and washers gives you a mechanical clamp instead of thread engagement in the substrate. For masonry you want a concrete anchor, not a lag.
