Metallics JBLS23SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size lag bolt is the Metallics JBLS23SS, and how many come in a jar?
The JBLS23SS is a 3/8 x 3 inch hex head lag bolt in 18-8 stainless steel, packed 50 to a jar. Shank measures 0.360 to 0.388 inch outside diameter with 7 threads per inch, right hand. Minimum order is the 50 piece jar.
2) Will stainless lag bolts hold up outdoors or in a wet mechanical room?
Yes. The JBLS23SS is 18-8 stainless, which gives better corrosion resistance than galvanized steel lag bolts, so it suits exterior anchoring, damp mechanical rooms, and coastal or chemically wet environments where zinc plating gives up.
3) Is the Metallics JBLS23SS Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JBLS23SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries domestic sourcing requirements, this stainless lag will not satisfy them.
4) Do I need to drill a pilot hole for a 3/8 x 3 lag bolt, or will it start on its own?
It has a gimlet point and spaced threads, so it will start itself in soft wood, but at 3/8 inch diameter you should still drill a pilot in framing lumber to avoid splitting. Pilot the shank clearance through the part being fastened and a smaller lead hole into the receiving member. The bolt is full bodied, so the unthreaded shank needs clearance, not thread engagement, in the top piece.
5) How strong is the Metallics JBLS23SS stainless lag bolt?
Tensile strength is approximately 100,000 to 125,000 psi minimum, with hardness in the Rockwell B95 to C32 range. Bear in mind stainless lags are not torque monsters, over-driving a 3/8 stainless lag will twist the head off before the wood fails, so drive to seated and stop.
6) Does this lag bolt meet a dimensional standard I can put on a submittal?
Dimensions conform to ASME B18.2.1-1996, the standard for square and hex bolts and screws. That is the spec reference for head and thread geometry on the JBLS23SS.
7) What are stainless hex lag bolts typically used for on electrical and mechanical work?
Metallics lists the BLS and JBLS lag bolts for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work. In practice that means lagging strut, unistrut backing, panel and enclosure mounting boards, conduit support brackets, and hanger plates into wood studs, joists, or blocking, with the stainless version going where corrosion is a concern.
8) Can I get this stainless lag bolt in another length or a larger quantity?
Other sizes and quantities in the BLS and JBLS lag bolt line are available by request. The JBLS23SS itself is fixed at 3/8 x 3 inches in a 50 piece jar.
