Metallics JBHC51G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC51G 1/4-20 hex bolt take, and what nut will fit it?
The JBHC51G is a 1/4-20 hex bolt, so 20 threads per inch on a 1/4 inch diameter, made to ASME B18.2.1-1996. Any standard 1/4-20 UNC hex nut, coupling nut or threaded insert will mate with it. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.237 to 0.260 inch.
2) Can these galvanized 1/4-20 hex bolts be used outdoors or in damp locations?
Galvanized finish over a steel body is the point of this bolt, and it is what makes it suitable for damp and exterior electrical work, rooftop strut, outdoor enclosures and unconditioned spaces where plain zinc-plated steel would rust out. For fully corrosive or coastal duty, stainless is still the better call.
3) Do these Metallics hex bolts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA project?
The JBHC51G is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA, though the bolts are manufactured in China. On a federally funded job, confirm which clause your spec actually invokes, since domestic-melt requirements and Buy American Act thresholds are not the same test.
4) What size wrench or socket fits the head on the Metallics JBHC51G hex bolt?
Head width across flats measures 0.425 to 0.438 inch, which is a 7/16 inch wrench or socket. Across the corners it runs 0.484 to 0.505 inch, so plan clearance around the head accordingly in tight strut channel or box work.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC51G, and is there an order minimum?
They ship 100 to a jar, and the order minimum is 100 count, so one jar is a complete order. The jar pack keeps loose 1/4-20 hardware off a van floor and is the format most electrical contractors stock these in.
6) Is a nut and washer included with the Metallics JBHC51G, or do I order those separately?
The jar holds bolts only, 100 of them. Nuts, flat washers and lock washers are separate line items, so add 1/4-20 galvanized hex nuts and matching galvanized washers to keep the whole assembly on the same corrosion protection. Mixing a plain steel nut onto a galvanized bolt outdoors defeats the finish.
7) Can I get the Metallics BHC/JBHC hex bolts in a different length or diameter than 1/4-20 x 2-1/4?
Yes. JBHC51G is one size within the Metallics BHC and JBHC hex bolt series, and other sizes and quantities are available by request. If you are standardizing a facility or a strut run on one thread size, you can stay in the same galvanized steel series across lengths.
8) How much does a 100-count jar of Metallics JBHC51G bolts weigh for shipping?
A full jar comes in at 3.61 lbs, with the packaged jar measuring 5.75 by 3.5 by 3.5 inches. Useful if you are palletizing a facility stock order or figuring van shelf space.
