Metallics JG8HC28 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch is the Metallics JG8HC28 hex bolt, and will it take a standard 3/8-16 nut?
It's a 3/8 inch diameter bolt with 16 threads per inch, so it mates with any standard 3/8-16 nut or tapped 3/8-16 hole. Measured shank diameter runs 0.3690 to 0.3750 inch. Note that 16 TPI is the UNC coarse pitch for 3/8 inch fasteners, so a 3/8-24 fine-thread nut will not thread on.
2) Can I use these Grade 8 hex bolts on a federally funded or Buy American job?
No. The JG8HC28 is not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this bolt won't satisfy it and you'll need a documented US-made fastener instead.
3) Is a zinc plated Grade 8 bolt OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The finish is zinc over steel, which handles indoor, damp interior, and sheltered exterior service. It is not stainless. For direct weather exposure, coastal air, or anywhere chemically aggressive, zinc plating will eventually sacrifice and the steel underneath will rust, so a hot dip galvanized or stainless fastener is the right choice there.
4) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JG8HC28?
They ship 50 pieces to a jar, and 50 each is the order minimum. The jar packaging keeps a single size together on the truck or the shop shelf rather than loose in a bin, which is why it's a common MRO and fleet stocking item.
5) Do nuts and washers come with the JG8HC28 Grade 8 hex bolts?
No. The jar contains bolts only, 50 of them. You'll need to order 3/8-16 nuts separately, and for a Grade 8 bolt pair it with a hardened washer so the higher clamp load doesn't dish into the material. Other sizes and quantities in this series are available by request.
6) Are Grade 8 bolts appropriate for electrical and mechanical trade work, or only automotive?
Both. The series is called out for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work as well as automotive and fleet use, where a Grade 5 doesn't give enough tensile strength. Typical trade applications for a 3/8-16 by 4 inch Grade 8 are heavy equipment mounts, strut and trapeze hanger connections, and machine base anchoring.
