Metallics JG5HTB31 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JG5HTB31 hex tap bolt threaded all the way to the head?
Yes. A hex tap bolt is fully threaded from the point right up to the head, which is what separates it from a standard hex cap screw with a plain shoulder. On the JG5HTB31 the thread is 3/8-16, right hand, built to ASME B18.2.1-2012. Full threading is why these get used for bolting motors to machinery and in automotive and truck repair, where the clamped stack thickness varies and you want thread engagement at any grip length.
2) What hole size do I need to drill for a 3/8-16 hex tap bolt?
The bolt body runs 0.3690 to 0.3750 inches outside diameter, so a 3/8 inch clearance hole is a tight slip fit and most installers step up to 25/64 or 13/32 inch for a through hole. If you are threading into tapped material instead, the mating tap is 3/8-16 UNC, right hand.
3) Is the Metallics JG5HTB31 bolt plated for corrosion resistance, or will it rust?
These are steel bolts with a zinc finish, which handles indoor and sheltered mechanical room service fine. Zinc plating is not a marine or sustained-wet finish, so for exterior or washdown locations spec stainless or hot dip galvanized instead. Base material conforms to AISI 1008 - 1026.
4) How do these Metallics hex tap bolts come packaged, and is there a minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, which is the format most electricians and maintenance shops want on a truck or a shelf rather than loose bulk. Order minimum is 50 count. Jar weight is listed at 2155 g. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
5) What is the difference between a hex tap bolt and a hex cap screw for mounting equipment?
Both take the same 9/16 wrench at 3/8 inch and both come in Grade 5, but a tap bolt is threaded the full length while a cap screw has an unthreaded shoulder under the head. Pick the tap bolt, like the Metallics JG5HTB31 at 3/8-16, when you are threading into a tapped boss of unknown depth or clamping a variable stack such as a motor base and shim pack. Pick a partially threaded cap screw when the joint is loaded in shear and you want the plain shank bearing in the hole rather than threads.
6) Do Metallics G5HTB bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a public project?
The JG5HTB31 is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American in the manufacturer data, while country of origin is listed as China. Institutional and government buyers working to a domestic sourcing clause should reconcile those two facts against their specific contract language before committing the submittal.
