Metallics BHC23M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics BHC23M hex bolt have, and will it take a standard 3/8 inch nut?
It is a 3/8-16 hex bolt, 16 threads per inch, which is the standard UNC coarse pitch for 3/8 inch diameter. Any standard 3/8-16 coarse nut or 3/8-16 tapped hole will accept it. Measured shank diameter runs 0.360 to 0.388 in. Thread form is made to ASME B18.2.1-1996.
2) How many bolts come in a box of Metallics BHC23M, and can I buy fewer?
They ship as a box of 1,000, and 1,000 is the order minimum, so the box is the smallest purchase unit. The packed box weighs 54.4 lbs. If you need a smaller count or a different length in the same 3/8-16 thread, other sizes and quantities are available by request.
3) Will zinc plated steel bolts hold up outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The BHC23M is plain carbon steel with a zinc plated finish. Zinc plating handles indoor, dry, and intermittently damp service such as strut runs, panel mounting, and equipment anchoring in mechanical rooms. For permanent exterior exposure, coastal air, or wet process areas, step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless instead; electroplated zinc is a thin sacrificial coating and will eventually rust through in constant wet.
4) Is a hex bolt like this the right fastener for strut and channel, or should I use a hex head cap screw?
A hex bolt such as the BHC23M is the general purpose structural and equipment fastener: hex head driven with a wrench, coarse 3/8-16 thread, used through a drilled hole with a nut, or threaded into a strut nut or tapped channel. A hex head cap screw differs mainly in tighter head and body tolerances for close hole fit. For routine electrical work, mounting panels, hanging strut, and anchoring equipment, the hex bolt is the normal specification.
5) Where are Metallics BHC23M hex bolts made?
Country of origin on the BHC23M is China. If your project carries a domestic sourcing requirement for fasteners, verify that requirement against the origin before you commit the box.
