Metallics JSBH25D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the JSBH25D bolt stainless steel suitable for outdoor or washdown use?
It is 18-8 stainless steel, an austenitic alloy used where general atmospheric corrosion resistance is needed, including chemical and food-processing equipment. For aggressive chemical exposure, 18-8 may not be enough and a 316 stainless or other specialty alloy is the right call.
2) How strong is a 3/8-16 18-8 stainless hex bolt like the Metallics JSBH25D?
Tensile strength runs 100,000 to 150,000 psi minimum with a 65,000 psi minimum yield, and hardness falls in the Rockwell B95 to C32 range. That is typical austenitic stainless territory, below a hardened Grade 8 steel bolt, so where a drawing calls out a high strength grade, stainless is not a straight swap.
3) Can the Metallics JSBH25D bolt be used on a Buy American or ARRA funded project?
No. The JSBH25D is flagged as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, even though its country of origin is listed as the United States. On a federally funded job with those clauses, specify a compliant fastener instead.
4) What size wrench or socket fits the head of the Metallics JSBH25D 3/8 inch stainless hex bolt?
Across the flats the hex head measures 0.551 to 0.562 inch, which is a 9/16 inch wrench or socket. Head height is 15/64 inch, so count that into any clearance you have under a cover plate or channel lip.
5) How are these Metallics 3/8-16 stainless hex bolts packaged, and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 50, with an order minimum of 100 count, so you are buying in jar multiples rather than loose pieces. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
6) What part number do I order for the 3/8-16 x 2-1/2 inch stainless hex bolt from Metallics?
Order MPN JSBH25D, from the Metallics SBHC and JSBHC hex cap screw series. The J prefix is the jar-packed version of the series.
