Metallics JG5HC6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread and size are the Metallics JG5HC6 hex bolts, and will they take a standard 1/4-20 nut?
The JG5HC6 is a 1/4-20 hex cap screw, 3 inches long, with 20 threads per inch and a shank outside diameter of 0.2450 to 0.2500 inch. Threads are cut to ASME B18.2.1-2012, so any standard 1/4-20 UNC nut or tapped hole mates with it.
2) Is a Grade 5 bolt strong enough to mount a motor to a machine base?
Yes. The JG5HC6 is a Grade 5 medium carbon steel cap screw, heat treated to Rockwell C19-30, with 105,000 psi minimum tensile strength. Motor mounting to machinery is one of its stated uses, along with automotive and truck repair work.
3) Can I use these bolts on a federally funded Buy American job?
No. The JG5HC6 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. For a project with domestic sourcing requirements you need a documented US made Grade 5 hex bolt instead.
4) What wrench or socket size fits the head on a 1/4-20 Grade 5 hex bolt from Metallics?
Head width across flats measures 0.428 to 0.438 inch, which is a 7/16 inch wrench or socket. Head type is a standard hex.
5) Are these zinc plated bolts OK for damp or outdoor locations?
Finish is zinc on steel, which is a general purpose corrosion coating suited to dry and incidentally damp indoor industrial work (electrical, plumbing, HVAC). For continuous outdoor exposure, salt air, or wet process areas, step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless instead of zinc plate.
6) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JG5HC6, and is there a minimum order?
They ship 100 pieces to a jar, and the jar is the minimum order unit. Total weight of the jar is 2097 g.
7) What grip length do I get on a 3 inch 1/4-20 Grade 5 hex bolt, and do I need washers and a nut?
Overall length is 3 inches measured under the head, so total clamped material plus washers and nut must stay inside that. Hex cap screws like the JG5HC6 are supplied bare, so nuts, flat washers, and lock washers are separate line items.
8) What steel are Metallics Grade 5 hex bolts made from?
Medium carbon steel in the AISI 1008 to 1026 range, heat treated to reach Grade 5 properties: Rockwell C19-30 hardness and 105,000 psi minimum yield.
9) I need a different length or a larger count of this 1/4-20 Grade 5 bolt. Is that available?
Yes, the G5HC and JG5HC series covers other diameters, lengths, and pack quantities beyond the 100 piece jar of 3 inch bolts. Ask for the size and count you need.
