Metallics JBHC40PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC40PL hex bolt take, and what nut do I need with it?
It's a 5/16-18 thread, meaning 18 threads per inch in the coarse (UNC) series, so it mates with a standard 5/16-18 coarse hex nut. Thread form follows ASME B18.2.1-1996. Measured over the threads the shank runs 0.298 to 0.324 inch, which is the normal major-diameter range for 5/16 inch.
2) Are the Metallics JBHC40PL bolts plated or will they rust outdoors?
They're plain finish steel, with no zinc or galvanized coating. That makes them fine for dry indoor work (panel enclosures, strut, interior bracketry) but they will corrode in damp or exterior locations. For outdoor or wet-location work, specify a zinc-plated or galvanized hex bolt in the same 5/16-18 size instead.
3) What size wrench or socket fits the head on these 5/16-18 Metallics hex bolts?
The hex head measures 0.484 to 0.500 inch across the flats, so a 1/2 inch wrench or socket is the right tool. That's the standard head size for a 5/16 inch hex bolt, which matters if you're running these in a panel or strut channel where clearance around the head is tight.
4) How are these Metallics hex bolts packaged, and what is the minimum I can buy?
They ship as a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 count is the order minimum, so you buy by the jar rather than by the piece. A filled jar runs 2.02 lbs. The jar format is built for a van shelf or a bench bin where you're pulling a handful at a time.
5) I need the same 5/16-18 hex bolt in a longer length or a bigger box. Can I get it?
Yes. The JBHC40PL is the 1/2 inch length in a 100 piece jar, and Metallics offers other lengths and pack quantities in the BHC and JBHC series by request. Give the thread size, the length you need, and the count, and it can be quoted against the same series.
6) Do the Metallics JBHC40PL bolts come with nuts or washers?
No. The jar contains hex bolts only, 100 of them. Nuts, flat washers, and lock washers in 5/16 inch have to be ordered separately, so count them into the same order if you're building up a fastener kit for the job.
7) Where is the Metallics JBHC40PL hex bolt manufactured?
Country of origin is China. Worth noting if you're buying for a job with domestic-sourcing language in the contract, since that documentation requirement sits on the purchase order rather than on the part itself.
