Metallics JBHC13PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are the Metallics JBHC13PL bolts plated or coated for outdoor use?
No. These are plain finish steel, uncoated and unplated, so they will rust in wet or exposed locations. Keep them to dry interior work, or specify a zinc plated or galvanized 5/16-18 hex bolt for damp, exterior, or corrosive environments.
2) What wrench or socket size fits the hex head on these 5/16-18 Metallics bolts?
Head width across flats measures 0.484 to 0.500 inch, so a 1/2 inch wrench or socket is the fit. Head type is a standard hex.
3) Do these bolts conform to a recognized dimensional standard for inspection submittals?
Yes, the hex bolt dimensions follow ASME B18.2.1-1996, the dimensional standard for square and hex bolts and screws. That is the reference to cite if an inspector or spec writer asks what the head and thread geometry conform to.
4) Will the Metallics JBHC13PL meet a Buy American requirement on a federal job?
The record flags the JBHC13PL as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, while country of origin is listed as China. Those two data points pull in different directions, so for a federally funded project where domestic sourcing is a hard contract condition, get written confirmation on the specific lot rather than relying on the flag alone.
5) How are these 5/16-18 hex bolts packaged, and what is the smallest quantity I can order?
They ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the buy unit. Packed jar weight is 3.9 lbs. The jar format suits a van stock or shop bench where loose bolts in a bag get lost.
6) Can I get the same Metallics BHC bolt in a different length or a bulk box instead of a jar of 100?
Yes. The JBHC13PL is one item in the Metallics BHC and JBHC hex bolt series, and other sizes and quantities are available by request. If you need a longer 5/16-18 for thicker material or a larger bulk count for a production run, ask for the matching series number rather than buying multiple jars.
7) Is a 1-1/2 inch long 5/16-18 bolt long enough for strut and channel work?
At 1-1/2 inches of overall bolt length, there is enough reach to pass through a strut channel lip plus a bracket or clamp and still pick up a 5/16-18 strut nut. Stack your material thickness plus nut height and leave a thread or two proud. For deeper stacks, back-to-back strut, or thick angle, step up to a longer length in the same series.
8) Does the Metallics JBHC13PL hex bolt come with nuts and washers?
No. The jar contains 100 hex bolts only, 5/16-18 x 1-1/2 in plain steel. Order 5/16-18 hex nuts and 5/16 flat or lock washers separately to complete the assembly.
