Metallics JSBH45D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread and size are the Metallics JSBH45D hex bolts?
They are 3/8 inch diameter hex bolts with 16 threads per inch and a 1 inch length. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.3690 to 0.3750 inch, so they drop through a standard 3/8 inch clearance hole and take any 3/8-16 nut or tapped hole.
2) Will stainless hex bolts like the Metallics JSBH45D hold up outdoors or in a wash-down area?
They are 18-8 stainless steel, used where general atmospheric corrosion resistance is needed, including chemical and food-processing equipment. Harsher chemical exposure can call for a more corrosion resistant alloy such as 316 and added precautions, so match the alloy to the environment rather than assuming 18-8 covers everything.
3) Do these Metallics stainless bolts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded project?
No. The JSBH45D hex bolts are recorded as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, even though country of origin is listed as the United States. On a federally funded job that carries domestic sourcing language, treat them as non-qualifying and get the compliance confirmed in writing for the specific program.
4) What size wrench or socket fits the head on 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 nutsetter or in a tight channel is minimal.
5) How strong are these 18-8 stainless hex bolts compared to a grade 5 steel bolt?
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 puts them in the same tensile neighborhood as a grade 5 carbon steel bolt but with a lower yield, so for a high-preload structural connection a graded carbon steel bolt is the better choice. Pick the stainless when corrosion resistance drives the decision.
6) How are the Metallics JSBH45D bolts packaged and what is the minimum I can order?
They ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 count is the order minimum. That jar format suits a service van or a shop bin rather than a one-off repair, since you cannot buy them loose by the piece.
7) Should I use stainless nuts and washers with these bolts, or are plated steel ones fine?
Pair them with stainless hardware. Running a zinc plated or carbon steel nut on an 18-8 stainless bolt in a damp or chemical environment sets up galvanic corrosion at the joint, which defeats the reason for buying stainless in the first place. Nuts need to be 3/8-16 to match the 16 threads per inch.
8) I need a different length or diameter in the same stainless hex bolt line. What are my options?
The SBHC and JSBHC series covers other sizes and quantities beyond the 3/8-16 x 1 jar of 100, available by request. If you are standardizing a facility or a strut run on one fastener, specify the diameter, thread pitch, length and pack count you want and stay within the same 18-8 stainless series so the corrosion behavior matches across the job.
