Metallics JBHC8PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread does the Metallics JBHC8PL hex bolt have?
It is a 1/4-20 hex bolt, 4 inches long. Thread pitch is 20 threads per inch, the standard coarse pitch for 1/4 inch fasteners, so it mates with any 1/4-20 nut, coupling, or tapped hole. Threads are made to ASME B18.2.1-1996.
2) Are these plain steel bolts okay for outdoor or damp locations?
No. The JBHC8PL is plain finish carbon steel with no zinc or galvanized coating, so it will rust in wet, damp, or exterior conditions. Use it for dry indoor work only, or specify a zinc-plated or galvanized 1/4-20 x 4 bolt for anything exposed to weather or washdown.
3) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC8PL, and can I buy fewer?
They ship 100 bolts per jar, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit sold. Jar packaging keeps loose 4 inch bolts contained on a service truck or in a shop bin. Other sizes and quantities can be had by request.
4) Do these bolts meet Buy American requirements on a federal job?
The record flags the JBHC8PL as ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, with country of origin China. On a federally funded project, give both of those to your specifier, since domestic-content rules vary by program and funding source.
5) What is a 1/4-20 x 4 inch hex bolt used for in electrical work?
At 4 inches of length with 1/4-20 thread, this hex bolt is the through-bolt size used for hanging strut and channel, mounting boxes and panels to blocking, clamping beam and pipe hangers, and any assembly where the stack-up is too thick for a short machine screw. Plain steel, so keep it indoors and dry. Pair it with 1/4-20 nuts and washers, which are not included.
6) How much does a 100 count jar of Metallics 1/4-20 x 4 hex bolts weigh?
A full jar runs 5.94 lbs. Packed size is 4.5 by 4.5 by 7.25 inches, useful if you are planning shelf space or truck stock for a multi-jar order.
