Metallics JSBH238 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JSBH238 hex bolt 316 stainless or 18-8 stainless?
The JSBH238 is 316 stainless steel. The molybdenum in 316 gives it more corrosion resistance than 18-8 and better strength at elevated temperatures, which is why it gets specified for coastal, wash-down, rooftop and chemical-exposure work rather than dry interior fastening. Both alloys are austenitic, so neither is magnetic in the annealed condition.
2) What thread and length is the Metallics JSBH238 bolt, and will it take a standard 1/4-20 nut?
It is a 1/4-20 bolt, 2 inches long, with 20 threads per inch and a shank outside diameter of 0.2450 to 0.2500 inch. That is standard UNC 1/4-20, so any 1/4-20 nut, coupling nut, strut nut or tapped 1/4-20 hole will thread onto it. Pair it with a 316 stainless nut and washer if you want to keep the corrosion rating consistent.
3) Does the Metallics JSBH238 bolt qualify for a Buy American or ARRA-funded project?
No. The JSBH238 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant; country of origin is listed as multiple. If your job carries a domestic-content requirement, you need a domestically produced hex bolt instead of this one.
4) What size wrench or socket do I need for this 1/4-20 stainless hex bolt?
Across the flats the hex head measures 0.428 to 0.438 inch, which is a 7/16 inch wrench or socket. Head height runs 0.150 to 0.163 inch. Worth knowing before you send a crew up a ladder with the wrong roll.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JSBH238?
Each jar holds 100 bolts, and the jar is the minimum order unit. Total weight is 1447 g. The jar packaging is the practical difference from bulk boxes, it keeps a single size separated on a service van or in an MRO crib instead of mixing in a bin.
6) How strong is a 316 stainless 1/4-20 hex bolt compared with a plated steel grade 5?
Tensile strength on the JSBH238 is 100,000 to 150,000 psi minimum with a 65,000 psi minimum yield, and hardness runs Rockwell B95 to C32. That is in the same general band as a medium-strength carbon bolt, but you are buying it for corrosion performance, not for maximum clamp load. If the connection is purely structural and dry, a plated grade 5 or grade 8 carbon bolt carries more load per dollar; if moisture, chemicals or heat are involved, the 316 is the one that survives.
7) I need a different length or diameter in the same 316 stainless hex bolt. Is that possible?
The SBHC and JSBHC hex bolt line runs in other sizes and quantities by request, so if 1/4-20 x 2 is not the size on your drawing, the same 316 stainless head style can be sourced in another length or diameter. Give the thread size, length and the pack quantity you want.
