Metallics JSBH30 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread and size is the Metallics JSBH30 hex bolt, and what wrench fits the head?
The JSBH30 is a 3/8-16 hex bolt, 5 inches long, in 18-8 stainless. Thread pitch is 16 threads per inch, so it mates with standard 3/8-16 UNC nuts and tapped holes. Shank outside diameter runs 0.3690 to 0.3750 inch. Across the flats the head measures 0.551 to 0.562 inch, which is a 9/16 inch wrench, and head height is 15/64 inch.
2) Will 18-8 stainless hex bolts hold up outdoors or in a wash-down area?
18-8 austenitic stainless handles general atmospheric corrosion, which covers exterior mounting, damp mechanical rooms, and chemical or food-processing equipment. It is not the grade for aggressive chemical exposure or constant salt spray; those environments call for 316 stainless or another specified corrosion-resistant alloy.
3) How strong is a 3/8-16 x 5 stainless hex bolt compared to a plated Grade 5?
The JSBH30 runs 100,000 to 150,000 psi minimum tensile and 65,000 psi minimum yield, with hardness Rockwell B95 to C32. That is in the range of a Grade 5 steel bolt for tensile but lower in yield, so if a structural connection is engineered around SAE Grade 5 or Grade 8 values, stainless is not a straight swap. Where the driver is corrosion rather than load, it is the right pick.
4) Is the Metallics JSBH30 bolt Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JSBH30 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic-content requirements, specify a domestic hex bolt instead.
5) What trades use these 3/8-16 stainless hex bolts, and do nuts and washers come with them?
Metallics lists the JSBH30 for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work, typical of strut, hanger, and equipment-mounting connections. The jar contains bolts only, so order matching 3/8-16 stainless nuts and washers separately if the connection needs them.
