Metallics JBHC23G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC23G hex bolt have, and will standard 3/8 nuts fit it?
It's a 3/8 inch diameter bolt with 16 threads per inch, made to ASME B18.2.1-1996. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.360 to 0.388 inch. Any standard 3/8-16 UNC nut or tapped hole will thread onto it. Note that 3/8-16 is the coarse (UNC) pitch, so it will not engage a 3/8-24 fine-thread nut.
2) What grade of steel are these 3/8-16 hex bolts, and are they strong enough for structural hanging?
These are Grade 2 bolts. Grade 2 is the standard low-carbon commercial grade, fine for general equipment mounting, strut, hangers and enclosure work, but it is not a high-strength fastener. If a drawing or engineer calls out SAE Grade 5 or Grade 8 for a load-bearing or seismic connection, this is not the right bolt for it.
3) Do these bolts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA-funded federal project?
No. The JBHC23G is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. If you're buying for a federally funded job with domestic sourcing requirements, you'll need a domestically produced Grade 2 hex bolt instead.
4) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC23G, and can I buy fewer?
They ship as a jar of 100, and 100 in the jar unit is the order minimum. Jar packaging is handy on a service van because the count stays contained instead of loose in a bin. Other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC range are available by request.
5) Does the JBHC23G come with nuts and washers?
No. The jar contains the hex bolts only. Nuts, flat washers and lock washers in 3/8-16 are ordered separately, and you'll want them in galvanized or hot-dip zinc to match the bolt finish and avoid mixing coatings in a wet location.
6) What is a 3/8-16 x 1-1/2 galvanized hex bolt typically used for on an electrical or mechanical job?
It's a general-purpose mounting bolt for electrical, plumbing and HVAC work: bolting strut and channel, hanging rod and clevis assemblies, securing enclosures, panels, trapeze supports and equipment feet. The 1-1/2 inch length covers typical stack-ups of a strut channel plus a bracket with a nut and washer. For thicker build-ups you need a longer bolt from the same BHC and JBHC range.
7) How much does a jar of 100 Metallics JBHC23G bolts weigh for shipping?
A jar of 100 comes in at 5.83 lbs. That matters if you're pulling several jars onto a service van or consolidating a stock order, since fasteners hit weight limits long before they hit volume.
