Metallics JG5HTB30 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is Grade 5 strong enough for a motor mount, or do I need Grade 8?
Grade 5 medium carbon steel, heat treated, with 105,000 psi minimum tensile and yield and a hardness of Rockwell C19-30. That is the normal choice for motor mounting and general machinery bolting. Step up to Grade 8 only where the engineer calls for the higher proof load on a highly loaded or shock-loaded joint.
2) Is a hex tap bolt threaded the full length, and does that matter for mounting a motor?
A hex tap bolt is threaded right up to the head rather than having a plain shank, which is why it is used to mount motors to machinery and shows up in automotive and truck repair work. Full thread lets you thread into a tapped hole at any depth within the 1-3/4 inch length, instead of being limited by a grip length.
3) What wrench or socket size fits the head on this 3/8-16 Grade 5 hex bolt?
Head width across flats measures 0.551 to 0.562 inch, which is a 9/16 inch wrench or socket. Head height is 15/64 inch, with 0.16 inch of wrenching height, so a standard hex socket seats on it without needing a thin-wall.
4) Will a zinc plated steel bolt hold up outdoors or in a wet mechanical room?
Finish is zinc plating over steel, which handles indoor and sheltered mechanical room duty and gives moderate protection against surface rust. For sustained outdoor exposure, washdown areas, or coastal sites, specify stainless instead, since zinc plating wears and sacrifices over time.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JG5HTB30, and is there an order minimum?
Each jar holds 100 of the 3/8-16 x 1-3/4 bolts, and the order minimum is 100 count, so one jar is the smallest buy. Jar weight is 2753 g. Metallics lists other sizes and quantities in the G5HTB and JG5HTB series by request.
6) Does this Metallics hex tap bolt meet Buy American and ARRA requirements on a federal job?
Metallics flags the JG5HTB30 as compliant for both ARRA and Buy American. Country of origin is China, so if your contract requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than the broader compliance flag, verify against your specific contract clause before submitting it.
7) What steel is used in these Grade 5 hex tap bolts?
Material standard is AISI 1008 through 1026 steel, heat treated to Grade 5 properties. That carbon range is what gets you the 105,000 psi minimum strength and the C19-30 hardness without the brittleness of a higher grade.
