Metallics JBHC13 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC13 hex bolt take, and will a standard 5/16-18 nut fit it?
The JBHC13 is a 5/16-18 hex bolt, so 18 threads per inch in the coarse (UNC) 5/16 series. Any standard 5/16-18 nut or tapped 5/16-18 hole mates with it. Threads are made to ASME B18.2.1-1996, the dimensional standard for square and hex bolts, so it interchanges with other B18.2.1 hex bolts of the same size.
2) Is a Grade 2 zinc plated hex bolt strong enough for electrical strut and hanger work?
Grade 2 is the standard low carbon steel strength class, and that is what the JBHC13 is. It is the usual choice for strut, pipe hangers, box and panel mounting, and general electrical, plumbing, and HVAC assembly, which is exactly the field application listed for the bolt. For structural connections or anywhere a drawing calls out Grade 5 or Grade 8, Grade 2 is not a substitute.
3) Can I use the Metallics JBHC13 hex bolts on a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. The JBHC13 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On federally funded work carrying domestic sourcing requirements you will need a domestically produced fastener instead.
4) Will zinc plated bolts hold up outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
Zinc plated steel is the finish on the JBHC13. It handles dry interior work and damp indoor spaces fine, but plating is a thin sacrificial coating, not hot dip galvanizing, so sustained exposure to weather, chlorides, or washdown will rust it. For exterior or corrosive duty, step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless hardware of the same 5/16-18 size.
5) What wrench or socket size do I need for the Metallics JBHC13 hex bolt head?
Head width across flats runs 0.484 to 0.500 inch on the JBHC13, which is a 1/2 inch wrench or socket. Head height is in the same range the spec gives for a 5/16 hex bolt, so standard 1/2 inch sockets and open-end wrenches seat on it without a deep socket.
6) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC13, and can I buy fewer?
The JBHC13 ships as a jar of 100 bolts, and the jar is the order minimum, so 100 pieces is the smallest quantity. Other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC series are available by request if 5/16-18 x 1-1/2 is not the size you need.
7) Do nuts and washers come with the Metallics JBHC13 bolts?
No. The jar contains 100 hex bolts only. Order 5/16-18 hex nuts and 5/16 flat or lock washers separately to complete the assembly.
8) What does a full jar of 100 of these 5/16 bolts weigh for shipping or a job box?
A jar of 100 JBHC13 bolts weighs 3.91 lbs. The jar itself measures 3.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches by 5.75 inches, so it drops into a standard parts bin or gang box tray.
