Metallics JBHC6PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread and size are the Metallics JBHC6PL hex bolts, and will standard 1/4-20 nuts fit them?
The JBHC6PL is a 1/4-20 x 3 inch hex bolt, with 20 threads per inch cut to ASME B18.2.1-1996. Any standard 1/4-20 nut, coupling nut, or 1/4-20 tapped channel will thread onto it. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.237 to 0.260 inch, so it passes through a 5/16 inch hole with clearance.
2) Are these Metallics bolts plated or bare steel, and can I use them outdoors?
Plain finish steel, meaning no zinc or galvanized coating. Keep them to dry interior work such as strut, panel, and enclosure mounting. For exterior, damp, or corrosive locations choose a zinc plated or galvanized 1/4-20 bolt instead, since bare steel will rust.
3) What size wrench or socket do I need for 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 type is a standard hex, so a nut driver, open end, or 7/16 socket all work.
4) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC6PL, and can I buy fewer?
They ship as a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. The jar itself weighs 4.49 lbs. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
5) Do the Metallics JBHC6PL bolts qualify for Buy American or ARRA funded jobs?
The JBHC6PL carries both ARRA Compliant and Buy American Compliant flags in its product record, with country of origin listed as China. If your project specification requires domestically melted and manufactured fasteners rather than ARRA/Buy American program compliance, verify against your contract language before submitting.
6) Is a 3 inch bolt long enough for mounting through strut and a bracket?
Usable grip is the 3 inch length under the head. Add up your material stack plus nut and washer thickness and leave a thread or two past the nut. For a 1-5/8 inch strut channel plus a bracket and nut, 3 inches gives room to spare; for thinner assemblies a shorter 1/4-20 from the same BHC and JBHC series will waste less thread.
7) Can I get the same 1/4-20 x 3 hex bolt in a different length or a bulk box instead of a jar?
Other sizes and quantities within the Metallics BHC and JBHC bolt series are available by request. The JBHC prefix is the jar pack; ask for the BHC equivalent if you want the same hex bolt in a different pack configuration.
