Metallics BLS54 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use these zinc lag bolts outdoors or in a damp location?
No. The BLS54 is zinc plated steel intended for wood in non-corrosive environments. For exterior, treated lumber, or wet locations, step up to a hot dip galvanized or 18-8 stainless lag of the same 3/8 x 10 size.
2) What grade and strength are these lag bolts, and are they strong enough for structural strapping and hanger work?
Grade 2 steel, 60,000 psi minimum tensile, Rockwell B70 to B100 hardness, made from AISI 1006-1022 steel. That is standard commercial lag strength and the common choice for anchoring strut, hangers, and brackets to wood framing. If a drawing calls out a specific higher grade or a structural screw with an evaluation report, Grade 2 lags will not satisfy it.
3) Do I need to drill a pilot hole for a 3/8 x 10 lag bolt?
Yes, in any dense or dimensional lumber. The BLS54 has a gimlet point that starts the hole, but at 3/8 inch diameter and 10 inches of length you will split framing or snap the head without a pilot. Drill the full depth of thread penetration.
4) Does the Metallics BLS54 lag bolt meet a dimensional standard for spec submittals?
It is manufactured to ASME B18.2.1-1996 for hex lag dimensions, with material to AISI 1006-1022. Those two call-outs plus the Grade 2 / 60,000 psi tensile figure are usually what a submittal reviewer wants on a lag fastener.
5) Are these lag bolts Buy American and ARRA compliant for a government or institutional job?
The BLS54 is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if a project requires a documented single source of manufacture, request the origin certification for the specific lot.
6) Is this the right lag bolt for hanging conduit strut and pipe hangers from wood?
Yes, that is the intended use. Metallics lists the BLS and JBLS lag series for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, and it is a full-bodied hex lag with spaced threads for wood. The 10 inch length is for deep penetration through strut, blocking, or multiple plies into a joist or beam.
7) Can I order a different length or a smaller quantity of this Metallics lag bolt?
The BLS54 ships as a box of 50 at 3/8 x 10, which is the order minimum. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities in the BLS and JBLS lag line are available by request, so ask for the shorter or larger diameter lag rather than substituting a different fastener type.
8) How much does a box of 50 of these 3/8 x 10 lag bolts weigh for shipping?
A box of 50 is listed at 12.75 lbs. Worth knowing if you are staging multiple boxes on a lift or carrying them up to a mechanical room.
