Metallics JBHC51PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are plain finish steel bolts OK for outdoor or damp electrical installs?
No. The JBHC51PL is plain (unplated) steel, so there's no corrosion protection. Keep it to dry indoor use, interior strut, panel and enclosure work. For wet locations, exterior runs, or anywhere condensation is likely, order a zinc plated or stainless 1/4-20 hex bolt instead.
2) Can I use these hex bolts with standard 1/4-20 nuts and washers I already stock?
Yes. Because the thread is 1/4-20 and the head dimensions follow ASME B18.2.1-1996, any standard 1/4-20 hex nut, flange nut, lock nut, or 1/4 inch flat or split washer mates with it. Nuts and washers are not included in the jar, so pull them from your own stock or order separately.
3) What wrench or socket size fits these 1/4-20 hex bolts?
Head width across flats measures 0.425 to 0.438 inch, which is a 7/16 inch wrench or socket. Head height is in the 0.150 to 0.188 inch range. Across the corners the head measures 0.484 to 0.505 inch, which matters if you're driving these in a tight box or channel.
4) How are these Metallics 1/4-20 bolts packaged, and what's the minimum I can buy?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum, so one jar is the smallest purchase. The jar weighs 3.46 lbs. Handy for a van or shop shelf when you're pulling a few bolts at a time rather than opening a bulk box.
5) Do these bolts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
The JBHC51PL is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA on our record, while country of origin is listed as China. If your project specification requires domestic melt and manufacture, verify against the spec language before you submit, because origin and program compliance are judged separately.
6) What is the Metallics JBHC51PL actually for on an electrical job?
It's a plain steel hex head machine bolt in the Metallics BHC and JBHC fastener line, sold as general purpose hardware for electrical work: hanging boxes and brackets, bolting clamps and straps to strut, securing enclosure and panel mounting hardware indoors. Hex head means you can torque it with a wrench rather than relying on a driver bit.
