Metallics JBHC30 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC30 hex bolt use, and will a standard 3/8-16 nut fit it?
The JBHC30 is a 3/8 inch diameter hex bolt with 16 threads per inch, made to ASME B18.2.1-1996. Any standard 3/8-16 nut or tapped 3/8-16 hole will thread onto it. Note that 3/8-16 is the UNC coarse pitch for that diameter, so do not pair it with a fine-thread 3/8-24 nut.
2) Are Metallics JBHC30 bolts Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government or public project?
No. The JBHC30 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your specification carries a domestic sourcing requirement, these will not satisfy it and you need a domestically produced fastener instead.
3) Is a zinc plated steel bolt like the JBHC30 OK for outdoor or damp mechanical rooms?
The JBHC30 is steel with a zinc finish. Zinc plating handles indoor and sheltered damp conditions such as mechanical rooms and interior equipment mounting. For direct weather exposure, coastal air, or anywhere washdown chemicals are involved, step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless, because plated zinc is a thin sacrificial coating rather than a marine grade one.
4) What hole size do I need to drill for the Metallics JBHC30 3/8 inch bolt?
Measured shank diameter runs 0.360 to 0.388 inch, so a 3/8 inch bolt needs a clearance hole slightly over that. A 7/16 inch hole gives normal clearance and lets you take up minor layout error; drilling exactly 3/8 inch will bind on the upper end of the diameter tolerance.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC30, and can I buy fewer?
The JBHC30 ships as a jar of 50 bolts, and 50 each is the order minimum, so it is sold by the jar rather than loose by the piece. Jar packaging keeps them together on a service truck or in a shop bin. Other sizes and quantities can be arranged by request.
6) Do the JBHC30 bolts include nuts or washers?
No. The jar contains 50 hex bolts only. Plan on ordering matching 3/8-16 hex nuts and 3/8 flat or lock washers separately, in a zinc finish to match the bolt and avoid mixing coatings in the same joint.
7) How much does a jar of 50 Metallics 3/8-16 x 5 hex bolts weigh?
A jar weighs 8.24 lbs, which matters if you are stocking several sizes on a van shelf or loading a parts cart. The packaged jar measures 7.25 inches by 4.5 by 4.5.
