Metallics JG5HTB5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Metallics JG5HTB5 hex tap bolt and how many come in a jar?
It's a 1/4-20 by 2-1/2 inch Grade 5 hex tap bolt, sold 100 to a jar. The thread is right hand, 20 threads per inch, with a shank outside diameter of 0.2450 to 0.2500 inch. Order minimum is 100 count.
2) How strong is a Grade 5 hex tap bolt from Metallics, and is it strong enough for a structural or vibrating load?
Grade 5 means medium carbon steel, heat treated, with a minimum 105,000 psi tensile and the same 105,000 psi minimum yield, and a hardness of Rockwell C19-30. That handles motor mounts, machinery, and automotive or truck repair work. If your drawing calls out Grade 8 or an ASTM structural bolt, this is not a substitute, the strength class is lower.
3) Is a hex tap bolt threaded the whole length, and why would I pick one over a standard hex cap screw?
A tap bolt is threaded full length to the head, which is why it's used where the bolt threads into a tapped hole rather than passing through with a nut. That's the typical motor-to-machinery mount: thread straight into the tapped base. If your joint has a clearance hole and a nut, a partially threaded hex cap screw gives you a plain grip length at the shear plane instead.
4) Are these zinc plated bolts OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The finish is zinc plating over steel, which is a general indoor and light-duty protective coating. For wet, coastal, or washdown environments a stainless fastener is the better call; zinc plated carbon steel will corrode with sustained moisture exposure.
5) Does the Metallics JG5HTB5 meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
The record flags it as ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, with country of origin China. On federally funded work where the specification is a strict domestic-source requirement, verify which clause your contract cites before submitting.
6) Can I get this Metallics hex tap bolt in other lengths or diameters?
Yes. The G5HTB and JG5HTB series runs other sizes and quantities by request, so if you need a shorter or longer 1/4-20 or a different diameter in the same Grade 5 zinc plated tap bolt, it can be sourced within the series.
