Metallics JSBH254 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JSBH254 hex bolt 316 stainless or 18-8?
The JSBH254 is 316 stainless steel. The molybdenum in 316 gives it greater corrosion resistance than 18-8 and better strength at elevated temperatures, which is why it gets specified for coastal, wash-down, and chemical-exposure work rather than dry interior fastening.
2) What thread does the 3/8 Metallics hex bolt take, and will a standard 3/8-16 nut thread onto it?
It is a 3/8 bolt at 16 threads per inch, so any 3/8-16 nut or tapped 3/8-16 hole mates with it. Measured shank diameter runs 0.3690 to 0.3750 in. Note that 16 TPI is not the common UNC 3/8-16 coarse pitch used on most 3/8 hardware, so check the mating thread before mixing it with existing fasteners on the job.
3) Can I use the Metallics JSBH254 on a Buy American or ARRA-funded job?
No. The JSBH254 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic-content clause, you need a domestic-sourced stainless hex bolt instead.
4) What size wrench or socket fits the head on these Metallics stainless hex bolts?
Across-flats width on the head is 0.551 to 0.562 in., which is a 9/16 in. wrench or socket. Head height is 15/64 in., so clearance under a tight bracket or channel lip is minimal.
5) How are these Metallics hex bolts packaged, and is there a minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and the jar is the order unit with a 100-piece minimum. Total packed weight is 2,590 g. For MRO stockrooms that works out as one shelf jar per bin location rather than loose bulk.
6) Do I need a different bolt length than 1-1/2 inch for thicker material?
The JSBH254 is the 3/8-16 x 1-1/2 in. length in the Metallics SBHC and JSBHC hex bolt series. Other sizes and quantities in the same series are available by request, so if your grip plus nut and washer stack needs more than 1-1/2 in., order the longer length in the same series rather than stacking washers to make this one work.
7) Why pick a stainless hex bolt over a plated steel one for outdoor electrical work?
Zinc-plated steel is fine inside a dry building, but the plating sacrifices itself and the bolt rusts once the coating is breached, which is a problem on rooftop condensing units, exterior strut, and wet wells. A 316 stainless bolt like this one resists corrosion throughout the body rather than at a coating, and holds strength at high temperature. Trade-off is it is softer in hardness terms (Rockwell B95 to C32) than a hardened Grade 5 or 8 steel bolt, so it galls more easily on assembly, use anti-seize on the nut.
