Metallics BHC23PLV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics BHC23PLV 3/8 inch hex bolt have, and will a standard 3/8-16 nut thread onto it?
It's a 3/8-16 thread, 16 threads per inch, made to ASME B18.2.1-1996 for square and hex bolts. Any standard 3/8-16 UNC nut or tapped hole will take it. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.360 to 0.388 in.
2) Is the BHC23PLV bolt coated or galvanized, and can I use it outdoors?
Plain finish steel, with no plating or coating. Plain steel will rust in wet or exterior locations, so keep these for dry indoor work like strut, panel, enclosure and bracket assembly. For exterior or damp runs, order a zinc plated or hot dip galvanized 3/8-16 hex bolt instead.
3) How many bolts come in a box of Metallics BHC23PLV, and can I buy fewer?
They ship as a box of 500 pieces, and 500 is the order minimum, so it's a full-box buy rather than a loose count. Metallics does make other sizes and quantities of the BHC and JBHC series available on request.
4) Does the BHC23PLV box include nuts and washers?
No. The BHC23PLV is 500 hex bolts only, 3/8-16 x 1-1/2, nothing else in the box. Order 3/8-16 hex nuts and 3/8 in. flat or lock washers separately to complete the assembly.
5) Is a 1-1/2 inch hex bolt long enough to bolt strut and channel together?
At 1-1/2 in. of overall bolt length in 3/8-16, it covers typical strut to strut, strut to bracket and single channel plus fitting stackups where the total clamped thickness is under about an inch, leaving thread for the nut. Deeper stackups, through heavy structural steel or multiple spacer plates, need a longer 3/8-16 bolt. Metallics offers other lengths in the BHC and JBHC series on request.
6) How much does a 500 count box of 3/8-16 x 1-1/2 hex bolts weigh for shipping and for carrying up to a mechanical room?
A full box runs 27.92 lbs, with carton dimensions of 7.25 x 6.25 x 6 in. That's a one hand carry for a single box, but if you're stocking a job in volume plan on pallet or cart handling.
7) Where is the Metallics BHC23PLV hex bolt made?
Country of origin is China. Worth checking against your project requirements if you're buying for a job with domestic sourcing provisions.
