Metallics JBLS21SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 3/8 x 2 inch stainless lag bolt hold up outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The Metallics JBLS21SS lag bolt is made from 18-8 stainless steel, which the manufacturer rates as having better corrosion resistance than galvanized steel lag bolts. That makes it the pick for exterior strut and conduit supports, rooftop equipment, pool and wash-down rooms, and coastal work where zinc-plated lags would bleed rust. Thread direction is right hand and the bolt is a full-bodied hex head with spaced threads and a gimlet point, so it drives into wood or a lead/plastic anchor without a nut.
2) How many lag bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBLS21SS, and can I buy fewer?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities of the BLS and JBLS lag bolts by request if 3/8 x 2 inch is not the length you need.
3) Is this stainless lag bolt strong enough to hang unistrut and pipe hangers, or do I need a grade 5 bolt?
Tensile strength on the JBLS21SS is approximately 100,000 to 125,000 psi minimum with a hardness of Rockwell B95 to C32, which is in the range normally used for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC hanger and strut attachment into wood framing. It is a lag screw, not a through-bolt, so pullout in the wood members usually governs the connection before the bolt does. For a nutted through connection you need a machine bolt instead.
4) Does the Metallics JBLS21SS lag bolt meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public project?
Metallics lists the JBLS21SS as Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, and country of origin is recorded as multiple. If your spec demands a single stated origin or a mill cert on the stainless, confirm with the submittal package for the job.
5) Do I need to order washers separately for these stainless lag bolts?
Yes, washers are a separate line item. The jar of 100 JBLS21SS lag bolts contains bolts only. Pair them with 18-8 stainless flat washers so you do not set up galvanic corrosion against a plated washer, especially on exterior work.
