Metallics JG8HC24 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is 3/8-16 a coarse thread, and will it take a standard 3/8 coarse nut?
Yes, 16 threads per inch on a 3/8 inch bolt is the standard UNC coarse pitch, so it mates with any standard 3/8-16 coarse nut or tapped hole. Thread major diameter runs 0.3690 to 0.3750 inch. If your hole or strut nut is 3/8-24 fine, this bolt will not thread into it.
2) Can I use these on a federally funded or Buy American job?
No. The JG8HC24 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project specification carries a domestic sourcing requirement, you need a domestically produced Grade 8 bolt instead.
3) Are these zinc plated Grade 8 bolts suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
The finish is zinc plating over steel, which is a general purpose coating for dry and protected locations. It gives some corrosion resistance but it is not a marine or chemical exposure finish, so for continuous outdoor wet, coastal, or wash-down service use a stainless or hot dip galvanized fastener instead.
4) Do I have to order nuts and washers separately with these bolts?
Yes. A jar of JG8HC24 contains hex cap screws only, no nuts or washers. Pair them with 3/8-16 hex nuts and, for Grade 8 loads, hardened washers so the clamp load does not dish a soft washer into the joint.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JG8HC24?
They ship in a jar of 50 pieces, and 50 each is the order minimum. That jar pack is the reason the J prefix appears on the part number; the G8HC series covers the same bolt in other pack formats.
6) What trades actually use these Grade 8 hex cap screws?
They are stocked for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work, and the Grade 8 strength class is also common in automotive and fleet service. Typical use is bolting equipment, hangers and supports where the connection sees real load or vibration.
