Metallics JBLS2SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will stainless lag bolts hold up outdoors or in a wet mechanical room?
Yes. These lags are 18-8 stainless steel, which gives better corrosion resistance than galvanized steel lag bolts, so they suit exterior strut, rooftop equipment, and damp mechanical or plumbing spaces where zinc plating eventually rusts through.
2) Are Metallics JBLS2SS lag bolts Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JBLS2SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant; country of origin is listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with a domestic sourcing clause, this part will not satisfy it.
3) Do I need to drill a pilot hole for a 1/4 inch hex lag bolt into wood?
The JBLS2SS has a gimlet point and spaced threads, so it starts itself in soft wood, but a pilot hole is still the right practice in hardwood or near an edge to avoid splitting and to keep the shank from shearing. The full-bodied 1/4 inch shank measures 0.237 to 0.260 inch, so size the pilot to the thread root, not the shank.
4) How strong is a Metallics 18-8 stainless lag bolt?
Approximate minimum tensile strength is 100,000 to 125,000 psi, with hardness in the Rockwell B95 to C32 range. That is typical 18-8 stainless territory, fine for hanging strut, conduit, boxes, and equipment supports, but it is not a Grade 5 or Grade 8 carbon bolt, so do not substitute it where a drawing calls out a specific SAE grade.
5) Do these hex lag bolts meet a dimensional standard for spec work?
Head and body dimensions conform to ASME B18.2.1-1996, so the hex will match standard socket sizes and the head geometry will sit correctly against strut and washers.
6) Can I buy fewer than 100 of these stainless lag bolts, or a different length?
The JBLS2SS ships as a 100 piece jar, which is the order minimum for that part number. Metallics does make other sizes and jar quantities in the BLS and JBLS lag bolt series by request, so if you need a 1/4 inch lag in a length other than 2 inches, ask for the matching part rather than cutting these down.
7) What trades use a 1/4 x 2 stainless hex lag bolt like this?
Metallics lists this lag for the electrical, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning trades. Typical use is anchoring strut, hangers, straps, pipe clamps, and small equipment into wood framing or blocking where a stainless fastener is wanted for corrosion reasons.
