Metallics JG5HC2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics JG5HC2 hex bolts?
They are 1/4-20 by 1 inch long. Thread pitch is 20 threads per inch, cut to ASME B18.2.1-2012, and the shank outside diameter runs 0.2450 to 0.2500 inch, so they thread into any standard 1/4-20 nut or tapped hole.
2) Are Grade 5 bolts strong enough for mounting a motor to equipment?
Yes, that is the intended use. Grade 5 medium carbon steel, heat treated, with 120,000 psi minimum tensile and 92,000 psi minimum yield, hardness Rockwell C25-34. That is the normal spec for bolting a motor base to machinery or for automotive and truck repair work.
3) Do these Metallics bolts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. The JG5HC2 Grade 5 hex bolts are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. For federally funded work carrying domestic sourcing requirements you need a domestic-certified fastener instead.
4) What wrench or socket size fits a 1/4-20 Grade 5 hex bolt head?
The hex head measures 0.428 to 0.438 inch across the flats, which is a 7/16 inch wrench or socket. Across corners the head runs 0.488 to 0.505 inch, worth knowing if you are driving these down inside a tight socket pocket or a strut channel.
5) Will zinc plated steel bolts hold up outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The JG5HC2 is zinc plated carbon steel. Zinc gives indoor and sheltered corrosion protection, fine for mechanical rooms, panel and equipment mounting, and HVAC work. For direct weather exposure, standing water, or coastal air, go to a hot dip galvanized or stainless fastener instead, since plated zinc wears through in those conditions.
6) How many bolts come in a jar, and can I buy fewer than 100?
These ship 100 pieces in a jar, and the jar is the minimum order unit, so 100 is the smallest quantity. Jar packaging keeps the count intact on a service truck or in a parts bin rather than loose in a bag.
7) How much clearance does the head need above the surface?
Head height on these 1/4-20 Grade 5 hex bolts is 0.150 to 0.163 inch, with a wrenching height of 0.106 inch. If you are bolting through a channel or a recessed pocket, that 0.106 inch is the usable grip depth your socket has on the head, so a thin-wall socket is the safer choice in tight prep.
8) What steel are these Grade 5 cap screws made from?
Medium carbon steel in the AISI 1008 to 1026 range, heat treated to reach Grade 5 properties. That is the standard material band for a Grade 5 hex cap screw and it is why the bolt holds 120,000 psi minimum tensile rather than the lower Grade 2 figure.
9) What trades stock 1/4-20 x 1 inch zinc hex bolts as a shelf item?
Electrical, plumbing, and heating and air conditioning contractors are the listed field application. Typical use is hanging and mounting hardware, equipment and motor bases, and strut or bracket work where a 1/4-20 fastener is called out. The 100 count jar suits an MRO crib or a truck stock bin.
