Metallics JBHC30G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC30G hex bolt use, and will a standard 3/8 nut fit it?
It's a 3/8-16 UNC thread at 16 threads per inch, made to ASME B18.2.1-1996. Any standard 3/8-16 coarse-thread nut, coupling nut or threaded insert will run on it. Outside diameter of the shank measures 0.360 to 0.388 inch, so it drops through a standard 7/16 inch clearance hole.
2) Is a 5 inch bolt length right for my application, or do I need shorter?
These are 5 inch long under-head, which is a long bolt for a 3/8 fastener. It suits stacked assemblies: double channel, timber-to-steel connections, thick spacer blocks, or through-bolting a beam flange with a backer plate. On a thin single-channel or box connection most of the thread sits exposed past the nut, so a shorter bolt is cleaner. Metallics lists the BHC and JBHC series in other sizes and quantities by request.
3) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC30G?
Fifty bolts per jar, and 50 each is the order minimum, so the jar is the buying unit. The jar itself is the packaging format, which keeps loose 5 inch bolts together in a gang box or on a cart rather than loose in a carton.
4) Can these galvanized hex bolts be used outdoors or in a damp electrical room?
Steel with a galvanized finish, gray in appearance, so it handles damp and outdoor exposure far better than plain zinc-plated steel. For hanging strut, unistrut trapeze, conduit racks and equipment bases in wet locations, mechanical rooms and exterior runs, galvanized is the usual call. For continuously submerged or coastal salt-spray work, stainless is the better material.
5) What wrench or socket size do I need for a 3/8-16 x 5 Metallics hex bolt?
Head width across flats runs 0.544 to 0.562 inch, which is a 9/16 inch wrench or socket. Head height is 0.243 to 0.226 inch, so a standard 9/16 deep or shallow socket clears it without trouble.
6) Do Metallics JBHC30G bolts meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public project?
The JBHC30G is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so for a job that requires documented origin on each shipment, the compliance flag is what to cite on the submittal.
7) How much does a jar of 50 of these 3/8-16 x 5 hex bolts weigh?
8.7 lbs for the packed jar. Worth knowing if you're stocking a service van shelf or sending several jars up on a hoist, since a handful of jars adds up fast.
8) Are the Metallics JBHC30G bolts fully threaded or do they have a shoulder?
The JBHC30G is a hex bolt built to ASME B18.2.1-1996, the hex bolt and heavy hex bolt standard, in 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread at 5 inches long. Order nuts and washers separately; the jar contains bolts only at 50 pieces.
