Metallics JBHC12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread and size are the Metallics JBHC12 hex bolts?
The JBHC12 is a 1/4-20 hex bolt, 6 inches long. That's a 1/4 inch nominal diameter with 20 threads per inch, coarse UNC, so it mates with any standard 1/4-20 nut, strut nut, or tapped hole. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.237 to 0.260 in.
2) What grade are the Metallics JBHC12 bolts, and is that strong enough for strut and conduit hangers?
Grade 2 steel, made to ASME B18.2.1-1996 for hex bolt dimensions. Grade 2 is the standard commercial low-carbon grade and is what's normally used for strut, trapeze hangers, box and enclosure mounting, and general equipment support. If a drawing calls out Grade 5 or Grade 8 for a structural or high-torque connection, Grade 2 will not satisfy it.
3) How many bolts come in a jar and can I buy fewer than that?
JBHC12 ships as a jar of 100 bolts, and 100 (one jar) is the order minimum. The BHC and JBHC series does cover other sizes and quantities by request if a jar of 100 in 1/4-20 x 6 isn't the count you need.
4) Do these Metallics bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a federal job?
No. The JBHC12 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries domestic-sourcing language, this bolt won't qualify.
5) Are these zinc bolts okay to use outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
These are steel bolts with a zinc finish. Zinc plating handles indoor, damp, and sheltered conditions fine, which is why they're specified for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work. For direct weather exposure, salt air, or buried/submerged use, go with hot-dip galvanized or stainless instead.
6) Do the Metallics JBHC12 bolts come with nuts and washers?
No. The jar contains 100 hex bolts only, 1/4-20 x 6 inch. Nuts, flat washers, lock washers, and any strut channel nuts or spring nuts are separate items you'll need to add to finish the job.
7) How much grip length do I get out of a 6 inch 1/4-20 bolt?
At 6 inches overall under the head, there's plenty of length for stacked strut, a trapeze assembly, through-bolting a pair of channels, or passing through blocking. Head height adds 0.150 to 0.188 in. above the surface. If you only need to pick up a single piece of strut and a nut, 6 inches will leave a long tail you'll have to cut or live with, so a shorter length from the BHC/JBHC range is the better call there.
8) How heavy is a jar of 100 of these 1/4-20 x 6 bolts for shipping and carrying?
A jar of 100 runs 8.75 lbs, so it's a one-hand carry on the truck. Jar dimensions are listed as 4.5 in length, 4.5 in width, and 7.25 in height.
