Metallics JBHC61PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch is the Metallics JBHC61PL hex bolt, and will a standard 3/8-16 nut fit it?
The JBHC61PL is a 3/8-16 hex bolt, 16 threads per inch, cut to ASME B18.2.1-1996. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.360 to 0.388 inch, which is normal for a 3/8 inch unified coarse thread. Any standard 3/8-16 UNC nut, coupling nut, or tapped strut insert will take it.
2) Is the Metallics JBHC61PL bolt plated or coated for outdoor or damp use?
No. It is plain steel with no plating or coating, so it is for dry interior work only. Left in a wet location, damp mechanical room, or outdoors it will rust. For exposed runs pick a zinc plated or stainless 3/8-16 hex bolt instead.
3) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC61PL, and can I buy fewer?
They ship as a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC series by request.
4) Does the Metallics JBHC61PL bolt qualify for a Buy American or ARRA job?
Metallics flags the JBHC61PL as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in its product data, while listing the country of origin as China. On a federally funded project, hand both of those facts to your compliance reviewer before you commit the submittal.
5) Will a 2-1/4 inch long 3/8-16 hex bolt be long enough for strut and channel work?
At 2-1/4 inches of length under the head, the JBHC61PL clears a strut channel plus a bracket, washers, and a nut on typical electrical support assemblies. For thicker stacks or through-bolting heavy framing you want a longer 3/8-16; Metallics lists other lengths in the BHC and JBHC series on request.
6) What are these Metallics hex bolts actually used for on an electrical job?
The JBHC61PL is a plain steel hex head machine bolt stocked as electrical support hardware, the kind you use to bolt channel, brackets, pull box mounting plates, and equipment feet together with a 3/8-16 nut. It is not an anchor and it is not self-tapping, so it needs a through hole or a tapped hole to land in.
7) How heavy is a jar of 100 Metallics JBHC61PL bolts?
A full jar runs 7.98 lbs. The container itself is listed at 3.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches long by 5.75 inches high, which matters if you are loading a parts bin or a service van drawer.
