Metallics JSBH252 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics JSBH252 hex bolt?
It's a 3/8-16 hex bolt, 1 inch long, with 16 threads per inch (standard coarse thread for 3/8 inch). Measured shank diameter runs 0.3690 to 0.3750 inch, so it drops into a 3/8 inch clearance hole and mates with any 3/8-16 nut or tapped hole.
2) Is the JSBH252 bolt 18-8 or 316 stainless?
316 stainless steel. The molybdenum in 316 gives it better corrosion resistance than 18-8 plus more strength at elevated temperature, which is what you want for exterior, coastal, wet mechanical rooms or anywhere chlorides are present.
3) Can I use these stainless hex bolts on a federal or Buy American job?
No. The JSBH252 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'll need a domestic-sourced equivalent instead.
4) What wrench or socket size fits these 3/8-16 stainless hex bolts?
Head width across flats is 0.551 to 0.562 inch, which is a 9/16 inch wrench or socket. Head height is 15/64 inch, so clearance under a tight bracket flange is minimal.
5) How much can a 316 stainless 3/8-16 bolt take before it yields?
Tensile strength is 100,000 to 150,000 psi minimum with a 65,000 psi minimum yield, and hardness runs Rockwell B95 to C32. That's typical stainless cap screw territory, so for high-load structural connections that call out a graded carbon bolt, check the engineer's spec before substituting stainless.
6) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JSBH252?
100 pieces per jar, and the jar is the order minimum. Jar packaging suits a van stock or a shop bin where you're pulling a handful at a time rather than a job lot.
7) What are 3/8-16 x 1 inch stainless hex bolts typically used for in the trades?
Metallics lists the application as electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work: strut and channel connections, hanger and bracket fastening, panel and enclosure mounting, equipment anchoring. At 1 inch long the usable grip is short, so it's for clamping thin stacked material like strut plus a fitting, not deep through-bolting.
8) Can I get this Metallics hex bolt in a different length or pack quantity?
Yes. Metallics offers other sizes and quantities in the SBHC and JSBHC stainless hex bolt series by request, so if you need a longer grip than 1 inch or a bulk box instead of a 100-piece jar, it can be sourced in the same 316 stainless.
