Metallics JSBH405 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JSBH405 hex bolt a coarse or fine thread 3/8 bolt?
Fine thread. The JSBH405 is a 3/8-24 hex bolt, 24 threads per inch, so it mates with 3/8-24 fine nuts and tapped holes only. A standard 3/8-16 coarse nut will not thread onto it. Shank diameter runs 0.3690 to 0.3750 inch.
2) Will stainless hex bolts hold up in a food processing or washdown area?
That is what they are intended for. These are 18-8 stainless steel hex bolts used where general atmospheric corrosion resistance is needed, including chemical and food-processing equipment. Aggressive chemical exposure can call for 316 or another special alloy instead, so match the alloy to the chemistry in the room rather than assuming 18-8 covers everything.
3) How strong is a 3/8-24 stainless hex bolt compared to a plated steel grade 5?
The 18-8 stainless hex bolt lists 100,000 to 150,000 psi minimum tensile and 65,000 psi minimum yield, with hardness Rockwell B95 to C32. That tensile range overlaps SAE grade 5 (120,000 psi), but the yield is well below grade 5's 92,000 psi. If a drawing calls for a specific SAE or ASTM grade on a structural connection, stainless is a corrosion choice, not a drop-in strength substitute.
4) What wrench or socket size fits the JSBH405 hex bolt head?
Head width across flats measures 0.551 to 0.562 inch, which is a 9/16 inch wrench or socket. Head height is 15/64 inch.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JSBH405, and can I buy fewer?
The JSBH405 ships as a jar of 100 bolts, and 100 count is the order minimum, so it is sold by the full jar rather than by the piece. Jar packaging keeps the stainless off a shop floor and the count honest for truck stock.
6) Do these stainless bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a public job?
Metallics lists the JSBH405 hex bolt as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant. Country of origin is recorded as multiple, so if your specification requires a single named origin on the submittal, that is the detail to pin down.
7) Can I get the same 18-8 hex bolt in a different length or diameter?
Yes. The JSBH405 is one size in the SBHC and JSBHC hex bolt series, 3/8-24 x 2-1/2, and Metallics makes other sizes and pack quantities available by request. If you need a different grip length for the same connection, stay in the same series rather than mixing alloys across the joint.
8) Is 18-8 the same thing as 316 stainless for these cap screws?
Both are austenitic stainless alloys, and Metallics makes the hex bolt in 18-8 for this item. They are not interchangeable where chemistry is harsh: 316 is specified for stronger chloride and chemical exposure. For general atmospheric service, 18-8 is the usual choice.
