Metallics JSBH26D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 3/8-16 bolt thread into a standard 3/8-16 strut nut or channel nut?
Yes. The JSBH26D is cut 16 threads per inch on a 3/8 inch diameter, which is standard UNC coarse thread for that size, so it mates with any 3/8-16 strut nut, channel nut, or tapped hole. Shank outside diameter runs 0.3690 to 0.3750 inch.
2) Is 18-8 stainless the right bolt for a wet or coastal exterior install?
18-8 is an austenitic stainless that handles general atmospheric corrosion, so it suits damp interiors, chemical and food-processing equipment, and most outdoor work. For saltwater exposure or aggressive chemicals, 316 stainless is the better call, and some chemical environments need special corrosion-resistant materials and precautions.
3) Does the Metallics JSBH26D bolt qualify for Buy American or ARRA funded jobs?
No. The JSBH26D is flagged not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, even though country of origin is listed as the United States. If your project carries a domestic-content clause, treat this as non-qualifying.
4) What wrench or socket size fits the Metallics JSBH26D 3/8 inch hex bolt?
The hex head measures 0.551 to 0.562 inches across the flats, which is a 9/16 inch wrench or socket. Head height is 15/64 inch, so a standard depth socket clears it fine.
5) How strong is the Metallics JSBH26D stainless hex bolt compared with a plated Grade 5?
Tensile runs 100,000 to 150,000 psi minimum with 65,000 psi minimum yield, and hardness is Rockwell B95 to C32. That is below a Grade 5 carbon steel bolt on yield, so where you are replacing plated structural hardware with stainless for corrosion reasons, check the load the connection has to carry.
6) How are these 3/8-16 x 3 stainless hex bolts packaged, and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 50, model JSBH26D. The imperial order minimum is 100 count, so plan on two jars as the smallest buy. The jar packaging keeps loose bolts contained on a service truck or MRO shelf.
7) What size hole do I drill for a 3/8-16 hex bolt to pass through?
Shank diameter is 0.3690 to 0.3750 inch, so a 13/32 inch hole gives clearance and a 7/16 inch hole gives a looser fit for field alignment. Do not drill 3/8 exact, the thread crest will bind.
