Metallics JBLS34G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Metallics JBLS34G 1/2 x 6 hex lag bolt be used outdoors or in wet, corrosive locations?
Yes. The JBLS34G is a galvanized steel lag bolt, and Metallics calls it out for use in corrosive environments. That makes it the right pick for exterior strut, standoff brackets, and damp or coastal locations where a plain zinc lag would rust out. Base material is steel per AISI 1006 to 1022.
2) What size pilot hole does a 1/2 inch lag bolt like the JBLS34G need?
Size the pilot to the bolt's shank, not the thread. The JBLS34G measures 0.482 to 0.515 inch outside diameter with 6 threads per inch, so in softwood you want a lead hole around the root of the thread and in hardwood closer to the full 1/2 inch shank. It is a full-bodied bolt with spaced threads and a gimlet point, so it starts itself once the lead hole is drilled.
3) Does the Metallics JBLS34G meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a government or institutional job?
Metallics lists the JBLS34G as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, which is what a public-works or federally funded spec package usually asks for on fasteners. Country of origin is listed as multiple.
4) Is a lag bolt the right fastener for anchoring into concrete or masonry?
No. The JBLS34G is a wood lag with spaced threads and a gimlet point, meant to thread into wood framing or into a lead or plastic shield. Driven straight into concrete or block it will not hold. For masonry use a concrete screw anchor or a wedge anchor sized to the load instead.
5) What wrench or socket fits the head on the Metallics JBLS34G lag bolt?
It's a hex head measuring 0.725 to 0.750 inch across the flats, so a 3/4 inch socket or wrench drives it. Head height runs 0.302 to 0.364 inch. Drive it with a socket and impact or ratchet, not a screwdriver bit.
6) How many lag bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBLS34G, and can I buy fewer?
The JBLS34G ships as a jar of 25 pieces, and 25 each is the order minimum, so a jar is the smallest buy. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities by request if 1/2 x 6 in a 25 count is not what the job needs.
7) What strength and dimensional standard does the Metallics 1/2 x 6 galvanized lag bolt meet?
Minimum tensile strength is 60,000 psi with a hardness of Rockwell B70 to B100, and the bolt is made to the ASME B18.2.1-1996 dimensional standard. If your drawing calls out a B18.2.1 hex lag screw in low-carbon steel, this matches.
