Metallics JG8HC39 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JG8HC39 hex bolt strong enough to replace a Grade 5 bolt in a high-load joint?
Yes. The JG8HC39 is a Grade 8 hex cap screw rated 150,000 psi minimum tensile and 130,000 psi minimum yield, so it carries more load than a Grade 5 of the same 3/8 inch diameter. It is medium carbon steel, heat treated to Rockwell C33-39. That is why these get specified in automotive and fleet work where Grade 5 will not hold.
2) What thread pitch and nut size does the 3/8 inch Metallics Grade 8 hex bolt take?
It runs 16 threads per inch, so it mates with any 3/8-16 nut or tapped hole. Across flats the head measures 0.551 to 0.562 inches, which takes a 9/16 inch wrench or socket. Shank diameter is 0.3690 to 0.3750 inches.
3) Does this Grade 8 bolt come plated, or will it rust on a trailer or outdoor bracket?
The JG8HC39 ships with a zinc finish over the steel, which gives it basic corrosion protection for general service. Zinc plating is a mild protective coating, not a marine or heavily exposed solution, so for constant weather or chemical exposure you would want a heavier coating or stainless fastener.
4) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JG8HC39, and can I order fewer?
They ship 50 to a jar, and 50 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest buy. Other sizes and quantities in the G8HC and JG8HC series can be had by request.
5) Does the Metallics JG8HC39 bolt qualify for a Buy American or ARRA job?
The record flags it as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, with country of origin listed as China. On federally funded work, confirm which standard your contract applies, since the two programs treat origin differently.
6) What steel is the Metallics Grade 8 hex cap screw made from?
Material standard is AISI 1021 to 1045 medium carbon steel, quenched and tempered to Rockwell C33-39. That is the normal composition and heat treat range behind a Grade 8 rating, and it means the bolt should not be welded or re-heated, which destroys the temper.
