Metallics JBLS30SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use these lag bolts outdoors or in a damp mechanical room without them rusting?
Yes. These are 18-8 stainless steel lag bolts, and Metallics states they have superior corrosion resistance to galvanized steel bolts. That makes them a reasonable pick for exterior strut, rooftop condenser stands, and wet mechanical spaces where zinc plated lags would bleed rust.
2) Are Metallics JBLS30SS lag bolts Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. These are not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with a multiple-origin country of manufacture. If your contract carries domestic sourcing language, these will not pass submittal.
3) What socket or wrench size do I need for a 1/2 inch stainless hex lag bolt?
The hex head measures 0.725 to 0.750 inches across the flats, so a 3/4 inch socket or wrench fits. Use a socket rather than an open end wrench, stainless heads gall easily under high torque.
4) Do these lag bolts need a pilot hole, or do they self start?
The JBLS30SS has a gimlet point and spaced threads, which lets it start in wood on its own, but at 1/2 inch diameter you should still drill a pilot hole. Driving a 1/2 inch lag dry risks splitting the member and twisting the head off, especially in stainless, which is softer than a heat treated carbon steel lag.
5) How strong are these stainless lag bolts compared to a plain steel lag?
Tensile strength runs approximately 100,000 to 125,000 psi minimum, with a hardness of Rockwell B95 to C32. That is solid for structural wood anchoring, and the bolts are made to the ASME B18.2.1-1996 dimensional standard so head and thread geometry are standard commercial.
6) Do these come with washers, and can I get a different length than 3 inches?
Washers are not part of the 50-piece jar, order flat washers separately if your application needs load spread under the hex head. Metallics offers the BLS and JBLS lag bolt series in other sizes and pack quantities by request, so a longer or shorter 1/2 inch stainless lag can be sourced.
