Metallics JBLS3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use zinc plated steel lag bolts outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
Zinc plating on these steel lag bolts gives corrosion resistance for non-corrosive environments, which covers dry interior framing, mechanical rooms and sheltered work. For sustained wet exposure, salt air, treated lumber or chemical exposure, go to a hot dip galvanized or 18-8 stainless lag instead, since plated zinc is a thin sacrificial coating.
2) Do these Metallics lag bolts meet a recognized dimensional standard for submittals?
Yes. The JBLS3 hex lag bolts are made to ASME B18.2.1-1996 for dimensions and AISI 1006-1022 for material, with 60000 psi minimum tensile strength and a hardness of Rockwell B70-B100. Those four values are usually what a spec reviewer or MRO buyer wants on the submittal for a lag screw.
3) Will these lag bolts work for a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. The JBLS3 lag bolts are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. If the project has domestic sourcing requirements on fasteners, you need a documented domestic lag screw instead.
4) Are 1/4 x 2-1/2 inch lag bolts the right fastener for hanging electrical strut or HVAC brackets to wood framing?
That is exactly the intended use. These are listed for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work, and a 1/4 inch lag at 2-1/2 inch length is a common choice for strut, unistrut brackets, equipment supports and pipe hangers landed in wood studs or joists. They are wood fasteners only, so for concrete or block use a sleeve or wedge anchor, and for sheet metal or hollow framing use a self drilling screw or toggle.
5) Do I have to pre-drill for these hex lag screws?
The gimlet point is self starting, so it bites and locates without a pilot in soft wood. In hardwood, near an edge, or any time you want to avoid splitting, still drill a pilot. The spaced thread form is what resists splitting and gives the withdrawal holding power in wood.
6) What is the difference between a hex lag bolt and a hex cap screw with a nut?
A lag bolt like the JBLS3 cuts its own thread into wood and needs access to only one face, with a gimlet point and coarse spaced threads for that job. A hex cap screw has machine threads and needs a tapped hole or a through hole with a nut, so it clamps between two faces of steel. For framing, joists and wood blocking, the lag is the correct part; for bolting steel to steel, it is not.
7) Should I add washers under these lag bolt heads?
With a hex head seated directly on wood, a flat washer spreads the clamp load and keeps the head from crushing into the surface, which matters on softwood and on any support bracket that sees vibration. The companion washer listed with these bolts carries a 0.094 in. dimension; washers are ordered separately from the jar of 100 bolts.
