Metallics JHTB61 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the difference between a hex tap bolt and a regular hex cap screw?
A hex tap bolt is threaded the full length of the shank rather than having an unthreaded shoulder. The Metallics JHTB61 is a 1/4-20 x 5 inch hex tap bolt built for complete thread engagement applications, which is why it suits strut, channel, and clamp work where the nut or tapped hole can sit anywhere along the 5 inch length. If you need a plain shank for shear bearing, a standard hex cap screw is the other choice.
2) Are these bolts strong enough for hanging conduit and pipe supports?
Rated at 60,000 psi minimum tensile strength with a hardness of Rockwell B69 to B100, which is ordinary low carbon steel grade territory. That covers typical electrical, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning support work. For structural connections calling out a higher grade on the drawing, specify a graded bolt instead.
3) Do these Metallics hex tap bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a federal job?
No. The JHTB61 hex tap bolt is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this is not the part to submit.
4) Is the zinc plating on these steel tap bolts OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The bolt is steel with a zinc finish, which handles indoor and dry or occasionally damp locations. Zinc plating is sacrificial and thin, so for sustained outdoor exposure, wet locations, or corrosive environments, move to a stainless option in the same hex tap bolt family (the JSHTB series is the 18-8 stainless version).
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JHTB61, and can I buy fewer?
They ship 100 pieces to a jar, and the jar is the minimum order unit, so one jar is the smallest buy. The filled jar weighs 2699 g. Other sizes and quantities in this hex tap bolt line are available by request.
6) What is the exact Metallics part number for the 1/4-20 x 5 inch zinc hex tap bolt in a jar?
JHTB61. The J prefix denotes the jar pack of the hex tap bolt line; the same bolt family is catalogued as HTB for other pack types and JSHTB for 18-8 stainless.
