Metallics JSBH88 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are these 3/8-16 hex bolts stainless, and will they hold up outdoors or in a wash-down area?
They're 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, which is the grade used where general atmospheric corrosion resistance is needed, including chemical and food-processing equipment. For aggressive chemical exposure, 316 stainless or another specialty alloy is the better call.
2) Will a 1/2 inch long 3/8-16 bolt be long enough for my strut or bracket connection?
At 1/2 inch of length under the head, this one is for thin stack-ups only. It handles a single piece of strut or a light bracket plus a washer where the threads engage a tapped hole or a channel nut. If you're going through two members or using a washer and nut on the back, you'll run out of thread. Head height adds 15/64 inch above the surface.
3) Do these stainless bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The JSBH88 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic-content clause, these won't satisfy it.
4) How strong is an 18-8 stainless 3/8-16 bolt compared to a plated steel Grade 5?
The JSBH88 runs 100,000 to 150,000 psi minimum tensile with a 65,000 psi minimum yield, and hardness of Rockwell B95 to C32. That sits in the same general range as common plated steel bolting for tensile, but the yield is lower than a Grade 5, so for high-preload structural connections a graded carbon steel bolt is the right choice. Use stainless where corrosion, not clamp load, is the controlling factor.
5) How many bolts come in a jar and what is the minimum order?
They ship 100 pieces to a jar, and the jar is the minimum order unit, so you buy in multiples of 100. Full jar weight is 1334 g.
6) What trades use these Metallics hex bolts?
Metallics stocks the SBHC and JSBHC hex bolt line for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, so it's typical hardware for hanging and bracketing work: strut connections, equipment mounting, enclosure and support anchoring where stainless is called out.
7) Can I get this 3/8-16 stainless hex bolt in a different length or a bigger pack?
Other sizes and quantities in the Metallics SBHC and JSBHC hex bolt line are available by request. The JSBH88 itself is fixed at 3/8-16 x 1/2 inch in the 100-piece jar.
