Metallics JBHC43PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics JBHC43PL hex bolt?
It's a 5/16-18 hex bolt, 1 inch long. The 18 threads per inch puts it in the UNC coarse thread series, so it mates with standard 5/16-18 nuts and tapped holes. Shank outside diameter runs 0.298 to 0.324 inch and the bolt is made to ASME B18.2.1-1996.
2) Are these bolts plated or bare steel? Can I use them outdoors?
These are plain finish steel, meaning no zinc or galvanized coating. Keep them to dry indoor work: panel interiors, strut inside a building, equipment mounting in conditioned space. For damp locations, outdoor runs, or anything exposed to weather, order a zinc plated or galvanized 5/16-18 bolt instead, since bare steel will rust.
3) What size wrench or socket fits these 5/16-18 hex bolts?
Across the flats the hex head measures 0.484 to 0.500 inch, so a 1/2 inch wrench or socket is the right tool. That matters if you're working in a tight enclosure or box where a deep socket has to clear the head.
4) How many bolts come in a jar, and can I buy fewer than 100?
The JBHC43PL is packed 100 to a jar, and 100 count is the minimum order. The jar is the point of the J prefix in the part number: it keeps loose hardware together on a cart or in a van instead of spilling through a bin. Other sizes and quantities can be had by request.
5) Do these Metallics bolts qualify for Buy American or ARRA funded jobs?
The JBHC43PL is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American purposes, with country of origin listed as China. If your project specification requires domestically melted and manufactured fastener stock, verify the compliance basis against your contract language before submitting them.
6) Do nuts or washers come with these hex bolts?
No. The jar holds hex bolts only, 100 of them. You'll need to order 5/16-18 hex nuts separately, plus flat or lock washers if the connection calls for them. Match the nut thread to 5/16-18 coarse.
7) How much does a 100 count jar of these 5/16-18 bolts weigh for shipping?
A full jar runs 2.83 lbs. The jar itself is about 3 in by 3 in by 3.6 in, so it stores easily in a van drawer or on a shelf with the rest of your fastener stock.
