Metallics JSHTB44 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will stainless hex tap bolts hold up outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The JSHTB44 is 18-8 stainless steel, so it handles wet and corrosive environments far better than zinc-plated steel, which is why it gets specified for rooftop units, wash-down areas, and damp electrical and plumbing work. Note that stainless of this grade runs softer than hardened carbon steel: tensile is 95,000 psi minimum and yield 60,000 psi minimum, with hardness Rockwell B95 to C32.
2) Can I use these stainless tap bolts on a federally funded or Buy American job?
No. The JSHTB44 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your spec carries a domestic sourcing requirement, you will need a documented domestic fastener instead.
3) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JSHTB44?
They ship 100 pieces to a jar, and the jar is the order minimum, so you buy in multiples of 100. A full jar weighs 1628 g. The jar packaging is the practical part for an MRO crib: it stays closed on a shelf or in a van drawer instead of spilling like a bag.
4) Should I pick a stainless tap bolt or a zinc-plated one for this job?
The Metallics hex tap bolt line (HTB, JHTB, and JSHTB) covers both steel/zinc and 18-8 stainless. Go stainless, like the JSHTB44, anywhere there is moisture, outdoor exposure, or dissimilar stainless hardware already in the assembly. Zinc-plated steel is the choice for dry interior work and where you need higher strength from a hardened carbon steel bolt rather than the 95,000 psi minimum tensile of this 18-8.
5) What trades actually use a 3/8-16 x 3/4 stainless hex tap bolt?
Metallics lists it for electrical, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning work. Typical use is fastening strut clamps, hangers, brackets, pipe supports, and enclosure hardware where the hole is tapped or a nut is run on behind and you want full thread engagement in a short grip.
6) Do you carry other sizes of Metallics hex tap bolts besides 3/8-16 x 3/4?
Yes, other sizes and pack quantities in the Metallics hex tap bolt range are available by request. If you are standardizing a facility on one diameter, it is worth sorting the lengths you need in a single order so the thread and material stay consistent across the site.
