Metallics JG5HTB9 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread and size is the Metallics JG5HTB9 hex tap bolt?
It is a 1/4-20 bolt, 5 inches long, with right hand threads at 20 threads per inch. Shank outside diameter runs 0.2450 to 0.2500 inch, so it drops through a standard 1/4 inch clearance hole and mates with any 1/4-20 nut or tapped hole. Thread form follows ASME B18.2.1-2012.
2) How strong is a Grade 5 1/4-20 tap bolt from Metallics?
Grade 5, with 105,000 psi minimum tensile and 105,000 psi minimum yield, and a hardness of Rockwell C19-30. That comes from medium carbon steel that has been heat treated. For motor mounting, machinery and automotive or truck repair work it is the common general-purpose strength class; if the drawing calls out Grade 8, this is not a substitute.
3) Is a hex tap bolt threaded all the way, and why does that matter versus a hex cap screw?
A tap bolt is the fully threaded version of a hex head cap screw, which is why it is used where the fastener threads directly into a tapped hole rather than relying on a grip length of plain shank. The JG5HTB9 is the Grade 5 steel version at 1/4-20 x 5 inch. If your joint needs an unthreaded shank bearing in the hole for shear alignment, a partially threaded hex cap screw is the better call.
4) What wrench or socket size fits the head on this 1/4-20 hex tap bolt?
Head width across flats measures 0.428 to 0.438 inch, which is a 7/16 inch wrench or socket. Head height is in the 0.150 to 0.163 inch range, with a wrenching height of 0.106 inch, so a standard depth socket seats fine.
5) Can these zinc plated tap bolts be used outdoors or in a wet location?
The finish is zinc plating over steel, which handles indoor and general shop conditions and incidental moisture. It is not stainless. For sustained wet, coastal or washdown exposure, go to an 18-8 stainless hex tap bolt in the same 1/4-20 x 5 size instead.
6) How many bolts come in a jar and can I buy fewer than 100?
The JG5HTB9 ships as a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 is the order minimum. Metallics runs the same bolt in other sizes and pack quantities on request, so if you need a different length or a bulk count, that can be sourced.
7) Do these Metallics Grade 5 tap bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a government job?
Both the ARRA Compliant and Buy American Compliant flags on the JG5HTB9 read C. Country of origin is China, so confirm which compliance clause your contract is written to before you submit them on a federally funded project.
8) What steel are Metallics G5HTB and JG5HTB tap bolts made from?
Steel in the AISI 1008 to 1026 range, heat treated to reach the Grade 5 property class. That is the same material basis across the G5HTB and JG5HTB series, with the J prefix denoting the jar pack.
