Metallics JBHC28 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch is the Metallics JBHC28 hex bolt?
The JBHC28 is a 3/8 inch diameter bolt with 16 threads per inch, 4 inches long overall. Measured outside diameter runs 0.360 to 0.388 inch, and the threads are made to ASME B18.2.1-1996, so it mates with standard 3/8-16 nuts, strut channel nuts, and tapped 3/8-16 holes. Note that 16 TPI is the fine thread for 3/8; a 3/8-16 nut will not thread onto a 3/8-16 UNC coarse bolt and vice versa, so match the nut pitch to the bolt.
2) Do these bolts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded project?
No. The JBHC28 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded job with domestic sourcing requirements, these will not pass; you need a domestically produced fastener instead.
3) Can zinc plated hex bolts be used outdoors or in a wet location?
Zinc plating on the JBHC28 gives light corrosion resistance, which suits dry interior electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work, the applications Metallics lists for the BHC and JBHC series. For exterior exposure, roof curbs, wet wells, or coastal air, go to hot dip galvanized or stainless; plated zinc on bare steel will rust through in those conditions.
4) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC28 and is there a minimum order?
The JBHC28 ships 50 bolts in a jar, and 50 each is the order minimum, so one jar is the smallest buy. The jar pack is the point of the J prefix in the series, it keeps loose 3/8-16 x 4 bolts contained on the van rather than loose in a bin.
5) How much does a 50 count jar of 3/8-16 x 4 hex bolts weigh for shipping?
A jar of JBHC28 bolts comes in at 6.75 lbs. Useful if you are staging multiple jars on a cart or watching parcel weight on a bulk fastener order.
6) Can I get the Metallics BHC series hex bolts in a different length or pack size?
Yes. The JBHC28 is the 3/8-16 x 4 inch jar of 50, and Metallics offers other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC series by request. If you are standardizing a maintenance shop on one diameter across several lengths, ask for the sizes you want rather than buying off the shelf lengths.
