Metallics BLS90G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can a 1/2 x 8 galvanized lag bolt be used outdoors or in a corrosive environment?
Yes. The Metallics BLS90G is a galvanized steel lag bolt, and the galvanized finish is what makes it suitable for corrosive and exterior service, including damp locations where plain or zinc-plated lags would rust out. Base material is steel per AISI 1006 - 1022.
2) What size pilot hole and what thread pitch does the Metallics BLS90G lag bolt have?
The BLS90G runs 6 threads per inch with a measured outside diameter of 0.482 to 0.515 inch over an 8 inch length, so it is a nominal 1/2 inch lag screw. Coarse spaced threads with a gimlet point mean it drives into a pilot hole without a nut; size the pilot to the shank root, not to the 1/2 inch thread diameter, or the hardwood or framing lumber will split.
3) Is this lag bolt acceptable on a federally funded or Buy American job?
The BLS90G is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your submittal requires a single named origin, confirm the origin on the lot you receive.
4) What wrench or socket size fits the hex head on this 1/2 inch lag bolt?
Head width across flats measures 0.725 to 0.750 inch on the BLS90G, which is a 3/4 inch socket or wrench. The head is a standard hex, dimensioned to ASME B18.2.1-1996, so a 3/4 inch impact socket drives it without any special bit.
5) How many lag bolts come in a box, and can I buy just one?
These ship as a box of 10. Order minimum is 10 count, so the box is the smallest unit sold. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
6) Is this a full-bodied lag bolt or a reduced-shank lag screw?
Full bodied. The BLS90G has an unreduced shank with a hex head, coarse spaced threads and a gimlet point, so the unthreaded shank carries the same nominal 1/2 inch diameter as the thread. That matters when the bolt passes through a clearance hole in strut, a bracket or a hanger before entering wood.
7) Do I need to order washers separately with these lag bolts?
Yes, washers are not part of the box of 10. Use a flat washer under the head on any wood connection so the hex head does not crush into the member as you torque it. Order minimum on the bolts themselves is the 10 count box.
8) What does a box of ten 1/2 x 8 galvanized lag bolts weigh for freight or job box planning?
The packed box runs 4.73 lbs for the 10 count, with carton dimensions listed at 9 in long, 9 in wide and 6.13 in high.
