Metallics JG5HTB53 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JG5HTB53 hex tap bolt threaded all the way to the head?
Yes. A hex tap bolt is threaded full length right up to the head, which is what separates it from a hex cap screw with a plain shoulder. That makes the JG5HTB53 the right pick when you need thread engagement at any depth in a tapped hole, such as bolting a motor foot to a machine frame. Threads are 1/4-20 UNC, 20 threads per inch, right hand, made to ASME B18.2.1-2012.
2) Will a 1/4-20 Grade 5 bolt thread into a standard 1/4-20 tapped hole or nut?
It will. The shank measures 0.2450 to 0.2500 inch outside diameter with 20 threads per inch, right hand, cut to ASME B18.2.1-2012, so it mates with any standard 1/4-20 UNC tapped hole, nut, or insert. Nothing special is needed on the mating side.
3) How strong is a Grade 5 hex tap bolt compared to a plain hardware-store bolt?
Grade 5 means medium carbon steel that has been heat treated, and this one carries a minimum tensile strength of 105,000 psi with hardness in the Rockwell C19-30 range. An ungraded bolt with a blank head has no strength commitment at all. For motor mounts, machinery, and automotive or truck repair work where the joint is loaded and vibrating, that is the difference that matters.
4) Are zinc plated steel hex tap bolts okay outdoors or in a wet location?
Zinc plated carbon steel is a mild corrosion coating, fine for dry interior machine rooms, panel work, and general indoor MRO. It is not a marine or chemical finish. For sustained wet exposure, washdown areas, or coastal installs, specify 18-8 stainless hex tap bolts in the same 1/4-20 x 3-1/4 size instead. The JG5HTB53 is steel with a zinc finish.
5) I am sourcing for a federally funded job. Where is this Metallics bolt made?
Country of origin on the JG5HTB53 is China. If your project specifies domestic melt and manufacture for fasteners, confirm that against your contract language before you commit the line item.
6) How are these 1/4-20 x 3-1/4 hex tap bolts packaged, and is there a minimum order?
They ship 100 pieces in a jar, and 100 count is the order minimum, so you buy by the jar rather than the piece. Jar weight is listed at 1,905 g. That packaging suits a service van or a shop bin for repeat motor mounting and repair work. Metallics also offers other sizes and quantities in the G5HTB and JG5HTB series on request.
7) What steel is used in the Metallics G5HTB hex tap bolts?
Carbon steel in the AISI 1008 to 1026 range, heat treated to meet Grade 5 properties with 105,000 psi minimum yield. That is a weldable-grade base steel, but note that heating or welding a heat treated Grade 5 fastener destroys the temper, so use these as bolted fasteners, not as weld studs.
