Metallics JSHTB45D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics JSHTB45D hex tap bolt?
It's a 3/8-16 bolt, 1 inch long. The 16 threads per inch puts it in the UNC coarse series, so it mates with standard 3/8-16 coarse nuts, threaded channel, and tapped strut. Thread form is to IFI-199 (2014).
2) Will stainless hex tap bolts hold up outdoors or in a damp electrical vault?
The bolt is 18-8 stainless steel, the austenitic grade used for wet, washdown, and exterior work where plated carbon steel would rust and seize. Trade-off is strength: 95,000 psi minimum tensile and 60,000 psi minimum yield, so it is not a substitute for a high-strength structural bolt in a load-rated connection.
3) Does this Metallics bolt qualify for Buy American and ARRA jobs?
Yes on both. The JSHTB45D is flagged Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, with country of origin United States, which is what a government, school district, or federally funded job needs on the submittal.
4) Is a tap bolt fully threaded, or does it have a shoulder like a hex cap screw?
A tap bolt is threaded the full length of the shank, which is what separates it from a partially threaded hex cap screw. On a 1 inch long 3/8-16 bolt that means thread engagement all the way to the head, so it works in tapped holes and blind threaded holes where a partial thread would bottom out before it clamped.
5) How are these stainless tap bolts packaged and what is the minimum order?
They come 100 to a jar, and 100 count is the order minimum, so you buy a full jar rather than loose pieces. The jar weighs 2064 g. Metallics also offers other sizes and quantities in the HTB, JHTB, and JSHTB tap bolt series on request.
6) Can I use a stainless 3/8-16 tap bolt where the spec calls for a Grade 5 bolt?
No. Grade 5 carbon steel is a 120,000 psi tensile class; the 18-8 stainless tap bolt is rated 95,000 psi minimum tensile and 60,000 psi minimum yield, with hardness Rockwell B95 to C32. Use it where corrosion resistance drives the choice, and specify a graded carbon steel bolt where the drawing calls out a strength grade.
