Metallics JSHTB24 Bolts 3/8-16 X 2 Hx Tap Blt SS (Jar 100)

It's a 3/8-16 bolt, 2 inches long, with right hand threads at 16 threads per inch. Tap bolts are threaded the full length, so it works where you need complete thread engagement into a tapped hole or a nut run all the way down.

The material is 18-8 stainless steel, the standard austenitic grade used for corrosion resistance in damp and outdoor conditions. That makes it a reasonable choice for exterior strut, rooftop equipment, and wet mechanical spaces where plain zinc-plated steel bolts rust out. For chloride-heavy or coastal exposure, step up to a 316 stainless fastener instead.

The JSHTB24 is rated 95,000 psi minimum tensile and 60,000 psi minimum yield, with hardness Rockwell B95 to C32. That is below a Grade 5 steel bolt's 120,000 psi tensile, so if the connection is a structural or high-torque joint sized around Grade 5 values, don't swap stainless in one-for-one. Where the driver is corrosion rather than load, these numbers are plenty.

No. The JSHTB24 is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin reported as multiple. For a federally funded job with domestic sourcing requirements, you'll need a domestically produced fastener instead.

They ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 (one jar) is the order minimum, so the jar is the unit you buy. Other sizes and quantities can be had by request if 2 inch isn't the length you need.

Threads are made to IFI-199 (2014). That's the inch fastener standard, so the 3/8-16 thread mates with any standard 3/8-16 UNC nut, tapped hole, or threaded insert from another manufacturer.

Metallics lists it for electrical, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning work, plus any application calling for complete thread engagement. In practice that's hanging strut and trapeze, anchoring equipment feet, clamping conduit supports, and bolting through channel nuts.
