Metallics JSBH32 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and wrench size is the Metallics JSBH32 hex bolt?
It's a 3/8-16 hex bolt, 6 inches long, with 16 threads per inch (UNC coarse). Measured across the flats the hex head runs 0.551 to 0.562 inch, so a 9/16 inch wrench or socket fits it. Head height is 15/64 inch, and the shank outside diameter is 0.3690 to 0.3750 inch.
2) Will a 3/8-16 stainless hex bolt hold up outdoors or in a wash-down area?
The JSBH32 is 18-8 stainless, which covers general atmospheric corrosion resistance, the sort of exposure you get in chemical and food-processing plants and on outdoor runs. It is not the right pick for aggressive chloride or chemical service, where 316 stainless or a specified alloy is called for instead.
3) Does the JSBH32 hex bolt qualify for a Buy American or ARRA job?
No. The JSBH32 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. On a federally funded project with domestic-content requirements you'll need a domestically sourced stainless hex bolt instead.
4) How strong is this 18-8 stainless hex bolt compared with a plated grade 5?
Tensile runs 100,000 to 150,000 psi minimum with 65,000 psi minimum yield, and hardness is Rockwell B95 to C32. That is in the range of a Grade 5 steel bolt for tensile but softer, and stainless galls more readily, so run it in dry and avoid impact driving. You are buying it for corrosion resistance, not for maximum clamp load; where high preload matters, spec an alloy steel bolt and a coating instead.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JSBH32, and can I buy fewer?
They ship 50 pieces to a jar, and 50 each is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. Metallics does offer other lengths and diameters in the SBHC and JSBHC hex bolt series on request if 3/8-16 x 6 isn't the size you need.
6) Do nuts and washers come with the Metallics JSBH32 bolts?
The jar holds bolts only, 50 pieces of 3/8-16 x 6 hex bolt. Nuts, flat washers and lock washers are ordered separately, and you want matching 18-8 stainless hardware so you aren't mixing stainless with plated steel in a wet location.
7) What are 6 inch 3/8-16 stainless hex bolts typically used for on an electrical or mechanical job?
Metallics positions the SBHC and JSBHC hex bolts for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. At 6 inches of length a 3/8-16 bolt is for through-bolting thick build-ups: strut and channel assemblies, hanger and trapeze supports, equipment feet, and blocking where a shorter bolt won't reach. The 6 inch length is the full fastener length, so account for washers and nut when you figure grip.
