Metallics JG5HTB49 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JG5HTB49 hex tap bolt use, and will it take a standard 1/4-20 nut?
It's a 1/4-20 right hand thread, 20 threads per inch, made to ASME B18.2.1-2012. Any standard 1/4-20 UNC nut or tapped hole will accept it. Shank diameter runs 0.2450 to 0.2500 in.
2) How strong is a Grade 5 bolt like this, and is it strong enough for a motor mount?
The JG5HTB49 is a Grade 5 bolt in medium carbon steel, heat treated, with 105,000 psi minimum tensile and 105,000 psi minimum yield, hardness Rockwell C19-30. Material is AISI 1008-1026 steel. That's the normal grade specified for motor mounting and general machinery work. For high-tension structural or engine-internal joints calling out Grade 8, this is not a substitute.
3) Is a hex tap bolt threaded all the way, or does it have a plain shank?
A hex tap bolt is fully threaded from head to point, so there's no unthreaded shoulder. That's what makes it the right choice for threading into a tapped hole in a motor housing or bracket, which is the main use for the JG5HTB49: mounting motors to machinery, plus automotive and truck repair work. If you need a plain grip length under the head for a shear joint, you want a hex cap screw instead.
4) What wrench or socket size fits a 1/4-20 Grade 5 hex tap bolt?
Head width across flats measures 0.428 to 0.438 in., which is a 7/16 in. wrench or socket. Wrenching height on the head is 0.106 in., so a thin-wall socket helps in tight motor-mount pockets.
5) Are these zinc plated steel bolts OK outdoors or in a wet mechanical room?
Finish is zinc plating over steel, which handles indoor and sheltered mechanical room service. Zinc is a sacrificial coating, not stainless, so in continuous wet, coastal, or washdown locations it will eventually rust. For those, specify an 18-8 stainless hex tap bolt in the same 1/4-20 x 1-1/4 size.
6) How many bolts come in a jar, and can I buy fewer than 100?
These ship as a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. Metallics lists other sizes and quantities in the G5HTB and JG5HTB hex tap bolt series by request.
7) Do these Metallics hex tap bolts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA job?
Metallics flags the JG5HTB49 as ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in its product data; country of origin is China. On a federally funded project where the specification requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than the ARRA compliance flag, have your spec reviewed against that origin before you commit.
8) Is this a hex head bolt or a hex flange bolt?
Plain hex head, no flange or built-in washer. If the joint needs bearing area spread across sheet metal or a slotted bracket, add a flat washer under the head.
9) How much does a jar of 100 of these 1/4-20 bolts weigh for shipping?
A jar runs 943 g. The jar itself measures 3 in. long by 3.6 in. high by 76.2 mm (3 in.) wide, so it drops into a van bin or a truck drawer easily.
