Metallics SBH981 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is 316 stainless the right choice for bolts in a coastal or wash-down environment?
Yes, and that is the main reason to pick the SBH981 over an 18-8 bolt. It is made from 316 stainless steel, whose molybdenum content gives greater corrosion resistance than 18-8 plus better strength at elevated temperature. For salt air, chemical exposure, or wet mechanical rooms, 316 is the grade to specify; for dry indoor strut and conduit work, 18-8 usually does the job.
2) How strong is a 316 stainless 3/4-10 bolt compared with a plated Grade 5?
The SBH981 carries a tensile strength of 85,000 to 140,000 psi minimum and a yield of 45,000 psi minimum, with hardness Rockwell B80 to C32. That yield is well below a Grade 5 steel bolt, so stainless here is a corrosion decision, not a strength upgrade. If your drawing calls out a minimum proof load or a structural grade, check it against those numbers before substituting.
3) Will the Metallics SBH981 bolt meet a Buy American or ARRA requirement on a federal job?
No. The SBH981 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project has domestic sourcing language in the spec, this bolt will not satisfy it and you need a domestic-origin fastener instead.
4) What wrench size do I need for the Metallics SBH981 hex bolt head?
Across-flats width on the hex head is 1.100 to 1.125 inch, so a 1-1/8 inch wrench or socket fits. Head height is 15/32 inch, and the wrenching height is 0.324 inch, which matters if you are working in a recess or against a flange, the socket needs that much clean engagement on the head.
5) How many bolts come in a box of Metallics SBH981, and is there an order minimum?
The SBH981 is packaged as a box of 25 bolts. The order minimum is 50 each, so you are buying two boxes at a time. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
6) Does the Metallics SBH981 come with nuts and washers?
No, the SBH981 ships as hex bolts only, 25 to a box. Order 3/4-10 nuts and 3/4 inch washers separately, and match them in 316 stainless if corrosion resistance is the reason you chose this bolt, mixing in plated carbon steel hardware reintroduces the rust point you were trying to avoid.
