Metallics JBHC13G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread and nut size do the Metallics JBHC13G hex bolts take?
These are 5/16-18 hex bolts, so they take a standard 5/16-18 nut, and the thread count is confirmed at 18 threads per inch. Shank outside diameter measures 0.298 to 0.324 in. Any 5/16-18 coarse thread nut, washer, or tapped channel will mate with them.
2) Do Metallics JBHC13G bolts meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public job?
They are flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American, which is what a government, school, or healthcare procurement file usually needs on record. Country of origin is China, so if your specification demands domestic melt and manufacture rather than program compliance, confirm which standard your contract is written to.
3) Will a 1-1/2 inch long bolt be long enough for my strut and clamp stack-up?
The JBHC13G is 1-1/2 in. long under the head, which covers a typical strut channel plus a clamp or bracket and nut with a little thread to spare. Add up your actual material thickness plus nut height first; if the stack is thicker, step up to a longer 5/16-18 bolt, since other lengths in the BHC and JBHC series are available by request.
4) What wrench or socket size fits the hex head on the JBHC13G bolt?
Head width across the flats runs 0.484 to 0.500 in., which is a 1/2 in. wrench or socket. That is the standard hex head size for a 5/16 in. bolt, and the head is a plain hex, not a flange or washer head.
5) Are these galvanized hex bolts OK for outdoor or damp electrical work?
The bolts are steel with a galvanized finish, which is the normal choice for exterior strut, unistrut, enclosure, and grounding hardware where plain zinc would rust. For submerged or highly corrosive chemical exposure, stainless is the better call.
6) How many bolts come in a jar and can I buy fewer than that?
They ship 100 to a jar, and 100 count is the order minimum, so a jar is the smallest buy. The jar packaging keeps loose fasteners contained on a service truck or MRO shelf better than a poly bag. Other sizes and quantities can be arranged by request.
7) What dimensional standard are these hex bolts made to?
Threads and head geometry follow ASME B18.2.1-1996, the inch hex bolt and screw standard. That means the 5/16-18 thread and 1/2 in. hex head will interchange with any other bolt built to the same standard, which matters when you are topping up an existing fastener bin rather than starting fresh.
8) How much does a jar of 100 of these 5/16-18 galvanized bolts weigh?
A jar of 100 weighs 3.91 lbs. Useful if you are loading a van with several sizes or pricing freight on a bulk MRO order.
