Metallics JBHC9 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a standard 1/4-20 nut thread onto this bolt?
Yes. The JBHC9 is cut 20 threads per inch on a 1/4 inch diameter body (measured shank 0.237 to 0.260 in.) to ASME B18.2.1-1996, so any standard 1/4-20 UNC nut, coupling nut, or tapped 1/4-20 hole takes it.
2) Is a Grade 2 bolt strong enough for hanging strut and conduit racks?
Grade 2 is the standard low carbon steel grade used for general electrical, plumbing, and HVAC support work, and that is exactly the field application Metallics lists for the JBHC9. It suits strut, hanger, and box mounting where no engineered high strength connection is called out. If a drawing specifies Grade 5 or Grade 8 for a structural or seismic connection, a Grade 2 bolt does not satisfy it.
3) Does this Metallics bolt meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a public job?
No. The JBHC9 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. On a federally funded job with a domestic sourcing clause, this bolt will not qualify.
4) Is zinc plated steel OK outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
Zinc plating on steel handles indoor and damp indoor service such as mechanical rooms and above ceiling hanger work. For sustained exterior exposure, wet locations, or coastal air, step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless; the zinc plate on this bolt is a light sacrificial coating, not a marine finish.
5) How much material can a 4-1/2 inch long 1/4-20 hex bolt clamp through?
At 4-1/2 inches of length under the head, the JBHC9 covers thick stacked assemblies, doubled strut, timber blocking, or wood to metal connections where a 1 or 2 inch bolt runs out. Leave enough protrusion past the nut for full engagement, and add a washer each side on soft material.
6) Are nuts and washers included with the JBHC9 jar?
The jar of 100 contains hex bolts only. Nuts, flat washers, and lock washers are ordered separately, so plan on matching 1/4-20 nuts and 1/4 inch washers if the connection is not into a tapped hole.
7) Can I get this Metallics hex bolt in other lengths or a bulk quantity instead of a 100 jar?
Yes. The JBHC9 sits in the Metallics BHC and JBHC hex bolt series, and other sizes and quantities are available by request, so a different diameter, length, or a bulk box instead of the 100 count jar can be sourced.
8) How heavy is a jar of 100 of these bolts for shipping or for a service van?
A full jar runs 6.66 lbs, so a handful of jars is easy to carry on a truck without weighing down a stock bin.
