Metallics JG5HC5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JG5HC5 hex bolt use, and will it take a standard 1/4-20 nut?
It's a 1/4-20 UNC thread, 20 threads per inch, cut to ASME B18.2.1-2012. Any standard 1/4-20 coarse nut or tapped 1/4-20 hole will take it. Shank outside diameter runs 0.2450 to 0.2500 in.
2) Do these Grade 5 hex bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a public job?
No. The JG5HC5 is not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, you need a documented domestic Grade 5 bolt instead.
3) Is the zinc plating on these Metallics hex bolts OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The finish is zinc on steel, a zinc chromate type plating. That handles indoor mechanical rooms, panel work, and general machinery service well. For sustained outdoor exposure, washdown, or coastal air, go to hot dip galvanized or stainless instead, since clear zinc plating is a light sacrificial coating.
4) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JG5HC5, and can I buy a smaller quantity?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 in a jar is the order minimum, so one jar is the smallest buy. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities on request if 2-1/2 in. length or the jar count is not what you need.
5) What steel are these Metallics hex cap screws made from?
Medium carbon steel in the AISI 1008 to 1026 range, heat treated to reach Grade 5 properties. Yield is listed at 105,000 psi minimum. It is a plain carbon bolt, not alloy and not corrosion resistant on its own, which is why it carries the zinc plating.
6) Are these bolts fully threaded, and how much grip do I get with a 2-1/2 inch length?
A 1/4-20 hex cap screw at 2-1/2 in. length has a partially threaded shank with a plain body under the head, which is normal for cap screws over about 1 in. of length. Plan the thread engagement in your tapped hole or nut accordingly, and use the 2-1/2 in. length measured from under the head to the point.
7) Where do electrical and HVAC crews typically use these 1/4-20 Grade 5 zinc bolts?
Metallics lists the field application as the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. Typical use is motor mounting, equipment anchoring to channel or brackets, and general machinery fastening. A jar of 100 is sized for a van stock or shop bin rather than a one off repair.
