Metallics JSBH25 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JSBH25 bolt stainless steel suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
It is 18-8 stainless steel, an austenitic alloy used where general atmospheric corrosion resistance is needed, including chemical and food-processing equipment. That covers typical exterior, damp, and washdown work. Aggressive chemical exposure (strong chlorides, marine immersion) can call for 316 stainless or other special materials instead.
2) Are Metallics JSBH25 bolts Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government project?
No on both counts. Metallics lists the JSBH25 as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin recorded as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic-sourcing clause, this bolt will not satisfy it and you need a domestically produced fastener instead.
3) How many bolts come in the Metallics JSBH25 jar?
Fifty bolts, packed in a jar, and 50 pieces is the order minimum. The filled jar weighs 1869 g. Metallics lists other sizes and quantities of this hex bolt available by request if 2-1/2 inch length or a 50-count jar is not what the job needs.
4) What is the JSBH25 hex bolt actually used for on a jobsite?
Metallics lists it for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. In practice that is strut and channel mounting, hanger and bracket attachment, equipment and enclosure anchoring, and anywhere a corrosion-resistant 3/8 inch through-bolt is needed. The 2-1/2 inch length gives enough reach to pass through stacked framing or channel plus a nut and washer.
5) Do the JSBH25 bolts come with nuts and washers?
No. The jar holds hex bolts only, 50 of them. Order matching 3/8-16 stainless hex nuts and 3/8 inch stainless flat or lock washers separately so the hardware does not mix dissimilar metals with the 18-8 stainless bolt.
6) Should I use 18-8 or 316 stainless hex bolts?
Both are austenitic stainless cap screw alloys, and the JSBH25 is 18-8. Choose 18-8 for general atmospheric corrosion resistance, which covers most indoor, exterior, and food or chemical equipment mounting. Step up to 316 where the environment is chemically aggressive or chloride heavy; Metallics notes some chemical environments require special corrosion resistant materials and added precautions.
7) How much does the JSBH25 hex head stand off the surface once it is tightened?
Head height is 15/64 inch, so the hex sits just under a quarter inch above the material. That matters where a cover plate, panel, or adjacent equipment has to clear the fastener. The head is a plain hex, not a flange or washer head, so add a flat washer if you are bearing on soft or slotted material.
