Metallics JBLS37SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/4 x 1 stainless lag bolt hold in outdoor or wet locations without rusting?
The Metallics JBLS37SS lag bolt is 18-8 stainless steel, which gives it better corrosion resistance than a galvanized steel lag. That makes it the right pick for exterior strut, conduit standoffs, coastal or wash-down areas, and anywhere a zinc coating would eventually bleed rust.
2) What size pilot hole do I drill for a 1/4 inch hex lag bolt?
Size the pilot off the shank, not the thread crest. The JBLS37SS measures 0.237 to 0.260 inch outside diameter with 10 threads per inch, so in wood a 5/32 to 3/16 inch pilot is normal practice for a 1/4 inch lag, going to the larger end in dense hardwood. The gimlet point starts the bolt once the pilot is in.
3) Is a hex lag bolt the right fastener for anchoring into concrete or block?
No. A full-bodied lag with spaced threads and a gimlet point is a wood fastener, meant to thread directly into framing, joists, blocking or plywood. For concrete, brick or CMU you need a concrete screw or an expansion anchor instead, or a lag used with a lead or plastic shield in the masonry.
4) How strong is this stainless lag bolt compared to a plated steel one?
Minimum tensile strength is approximately 100,000 to 125,000 psi, with hardness in the Rockwell B95 to C32 range, and the bolt is made to the ASME B18.2.1-1996 dimensional standard. That is solid structural-grade stainless performance, though a hardened carbon steel lag of the same diameter will generally run higher tensile. You trade some ultimate strength for corrosion resistance.
5) How many lag bolts come in a jar and can I buy a smaller quantity?
These ship as a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. The jar packaging is handy on a service van since the bolts stay contained instead of loose in a bin. Other quantities can be requested.
6) Do these stainless lag bolts meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a federal or public job?
Metallics lists the JBLS37SS as compliant for both Buy American and ARRA. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your specification requires documented domestic melt and manufacture on the specific lot, ask for the mill paperwork with the order.
7) Can I use these stainless lag bolts with aluminum strut or galvanized channel without causing corrosion?
18-8 stainless against galvanized or aluminum does set up a dissimilar-metal couple, and in a wet exterior location the zinc or aluminum is the one that gives up material. Indoors and in dry runs it is a non-issue and 18-8 is the common choice. Outdoors on aluminum, use a stainless washer and an isolating bushing, or match the fastener to the channel material.
