Metallics JBHC25PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a plain finish steel bolt hold up outdoors or in a damp location?
No. Plain steel has no protective coating and will rust in wet, humid or exterior conditions. The JBHC25PL is meant for dry interior work, inside enclosures, or anywhere it will be painted or protected. For damp or outdoor runs, specify a zinc plated or galvanized hex bolt in the same 3/8-16 x 2-1/2 size instead.
2) What size wrench or socket do I need for these 3/8-16 hex bolts?
Across-flats width on the hex head measures 0.544 to 0.562 inch, which is a 9/16 inch wrench or socket.
3) Does the Metallics JBHC25PL hex bolt meet a recognized dimensional standard?
Yes. The thread and head dimensions follow ASME B18.2.1-1996, the standard for square and hex bolts and screws. That matters on spec'd jobs where the submittal calls for a standard hex bolt rather than an unspecified fastener.
4) How are these Metallics 3/8-16 bolts packaged, and what is the minimum order?
They come 100 bolts to a jar, and the jar of 100 is the minimum order quantity, sold by the count. The jar packaging keeps them together on a cart or gang box rather than loose in a bin. Other sizes and quantities can be had by request.
5) Will these bolts pass a Buy American or ARRA requirement on a public project?
The JBHC25PL carries Buy American and ARRA compliant flags in the manufacturer data, with country of origin listed as China. On a federally funded job, check which clause your contract invokes, because the two programs treat origin differently.
6) How much grip length do I get out of a 2-1/2 inch hex bolt for strut and channel work?
At 2-1/2 inches overall under the head, the JBHC25PL covers stacked strut, a bracket and a nut with room to spare on most electrical support assemblies. Bolt body diameter runs 0.360 to 0.388 inch, so it drops through a 7/16 inch hole without binding. If you are only clamping a single channel and a fitting, a shorter 3/8-16 bolt leaves less thread hanging past the nut.
7) How much does a jar of 100 Metallics 3/8-16 x 2-1/2 hex bolts weigh?
The jar of 100 weighs 8.74 lbs. Worth knowing if you are loading several jars into a van or planning a material drop by floor.
