Metallics JSBH59 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wrench or socket size fits the Metallics JSBH59 3/8-16 hex bolt?
Across the flats the head measures 0.551 to 0.562 inch, which is a 9/16 inch wrench or socket. Head height is 15/64 inch, so a shallow socket clears it in tight panel work. Thread is 3/8-16 with 16 threads per inch.
2) Will a 3/8-16 stainless hex bolt thread into standard strut channel nuts and 3/8 inch threaded hardware?
Yes. 3/8-16 is the standard UNC coarse thread used by strut channel nuts, beam clamps, and most 3/8 inch support hardware, and the JSBH59 is cut to that thread with 16 threads per inch. Measured shank diameter runs 0.3690 to 0.3750 inch, which is on-size for a 3/8 inch nominal fastener.
3) Is 18-8 stainless the right choice for a bolt on a rooftop or coastal install, or do I need 316?
18-8 is an austenitic stainless with good atmospheric corrosion resistance, which covers rooftop HVAC curbs, damp mechanical rooms, and exterior conduit supports. For direct salt spray or continuous chloride exposure, 316 stainless is the material to specify instead. The JSBH59 is 18-8.
4) How strong is this stainless hex bolt compared with a plated Grade 5 bolt?
Tensile runs 100,000 to 150,000 psi minimum with a 65,000 psi minimum yield, and hardness is Rockwell B95 to C32. That puts it in the same tensile neighborhood as a Grade 5 carbon bolt but with a lower yield, so it stretches sooner under load. The trade is corrosion resistance: use the stainless where rust would take out a plated bolt, and a hardened carbon bolt where clamp load is the governing concern.
5) Does the Metallics JSBH59 bolt come with nuts and washers?
No. It ships as bolts only, packed in a jar, so order 3/8-16 stainless hex nuts and matching flat or lock washers separately. Mixing a plated nut onto a stainless bolt in a wet location sets up galvanic corrosion, so keep the hardware in the same material family.
6) What is the minimum order quantity on these 3/8-16 stainless hex bolts?
They sell in a 100 piece count, supplied in a jar, with 100 as the order minimum. Jar weight is 503 g. That makes it a stock-the-truck or MRO crib item rather than a one-off purchase.
7) Can I use this bolt on a federally funded or Buy American job?
Metallics lists the JSBH59 hex bolt as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant. Country of origin is recorded as multiple, so if your submittal package requires a specific mill origin on the certification, request the documentation for the lot you receive.
8) Is a stainless hex bolt acceptable for food plant and chemical processing equipment?
Yes, the 18-8 austenitic alloy is called out for chemical and food-processing equipment where atmospheric corrosion resistance is needed, alongside its normal electrical, plumbing, and HVAC uses. Washdown areas are the usual reason crews specify it over a plated bolt.
9) What part number do I order for the 3/8-16 x 1-1/4 inch 18-8 stainless hex bolt from Metallics?
Model JSBH59, from the Metallics SBHC and JSBHC hex bolt series. The J prefix is the jar-packed version of the line.
10) Will stainless hex bolts gall when I tighten them?
Stainless on stainless can gall and seize if you run the nut down fast with an impact. Start the 3/8-16 thread by hand to avoid cross-threading, then torque with a hand tool at a steady rate; anti-seize on the threads helps on any assembly you expect to take apart later. At Rockwell B95-C32 the bolt is ductile enough to strip if over-torqued.
