Metallics JG5HTB29 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are grade 5 bolts strong enough to mount a motor to a machine base?
That is the intended use for these Metallics hex tap bolts. Grade 5 medium carbon steel, heat treated, with 105,000 psi minimum tensile and 105,000 psi minimum yield, and hardness of Rockwell C19-30. They are also commonly used in automotive and truck repair. If a drawing calls out grade 8, these will not satisfy it.
2) Will zinc plated steel hex tap bolts hold up outdoors?
These are steel with a zinc finish, which handles indoor and sheltered mechanical work well but is sacrificial coating only. For wash-down, coastal, or permanently wet exposure, specify a stainless hex tap bolt in the same 3/8-16 x 2-1/4 size instead.
3) How are the JG5HTB29 bolts packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 count is the order minimum. Shipped weight of the jar is 3,307 g. If you need a different size or a different count, Metallics offers other sizes and quantities by request.
4) Do these Metallics bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a public project?
The JG5HTB29 carries both an ARRA compliant and a Buy American compliant designation in Metallics' data, with country of origin listed as China. On a federally funded job, match that against the specific domestic-content clause in your contract, since the two programs apply different tests.
5) Is a hex tap bolt the same thing as a hex cap screw?
Dimensionally the head is the same, but a tap bolt is threaded the full length of the shank while a hex cap screw has an unthreaded grip under the head. Use the JG5HTB29 tap bolt when you are threading into a tapped hole in a casting or machine base and want engagement all the way down. Where the joint needs the shank bearing in a clearance hole, a partially threaded cap screw in 3/8-16 is the better call.
6) What steel are these grade 5 tap bolts made from?
Material is medium carbon steel to AISI 1008-1026, heat treated to reach grade 5 properties. That is the reason the hardness lands at Rockwell C19-30 rather than the softer range you get from an unhardened grade 2 bolt.
