Metallics JBLS1SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/4 x 1-1/2 stainless lag bolt hold up outdoors or in a wet location?
The Metallics JBLS1SS lag bolt is 18-8 stainless steel, which gives it better corrosion resistance than galvanized steel lag bolts. That makes it the choice for exterior mounting, damp mechanical rooms, coastal work, and anywhere a zinc coating would eventually rust through at the head.
2) Are these stainless lag bolts acceptable on a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. The JBLS1SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. On federally funded work with domestic sourcing requirements, specify a domestic lag screw instead.
3) Does the JBLS1SS lag bolt need a pilot hole, or will it start on its own?
It is a full-bodied lag bolt with a gimlet point and spaced threads, so it starts itself in wood. In dense hardwood or structural lumber you still want a pilot hole sized under the 0.237 to 0.260 inch shank diameter so the 1/4 inch body does not split the member. Thread count is 10 per inch, right hand.
4) Is this stainless lag bolt strong enough for hanging conduit, strut, and equipment supports?
Tensile strength runs roughly 100,000 to 125,000 psi minimum with a hardness of Rockwell B95 to C32, which covers typical electrical, plumbing, and HVAC support work. The field application listed for the bolt is exactly those trades. For heavy suspended loads, size the fastener to the engineer's load schedule rather than the bolt rating alone.
5) Should I use a stainless lag bolt or an expansion anchor for mounting into concrete?
Neither this nor any lag bolt threads directly into concrete. The JBLS1SS has a gimlet point and spaced wood threads, so it is for wood framing, blocking, and plywood, or into a lead or plastic shield anchor set in masonry. For direct concrete fastening, use a screw anchor or wedge anchor instead.
6) How many lag bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBLS1SS?
They ship 100 per jar, and the jar is the minimum order unit. Jar packaging keeps them from scattering in a van drawer, which matters on a stainless fastener you do not want mixed with zinc hardware. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
7) Does the Metallics JBLS1SS meet a recognized dimensional standard for hex lag bolts?
It is built to ASME B18.2.1-1996, the dimensional standard for square and hex bolts and screws. That means the head size and thread geometry will match other B18.2.1 lag screws already in a job's fastener inventory.
8) Will mixing stainless lag bolts with galvanized strut or hangers cause a problem?
Pairing 18-8 stainless fasteners with zinc-coated steel in a wet location sets up galvanic corrosion, and the coated part gives up first. If the support hardware is galvanized and the environment is damp, either isolate the connection or keep the whole assembly in one material family. In dry interior spaces the risk is minimal.
