Metallics JBHC561PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC561PL hex bolt use, and will it take a standard 5/16-18 nut?
It is a 5/16-18 hex bolt, 18 threads per inch, cut to ASME B18.2.1-1996. That is standard 5/16 coarse (UNC), so any off-the-shelf 5/16-18 hex nut, coupling nut, or 5/16-18 tapped strut or channel insert threads onto it.
2) Are these Metallics hex bolts plated or bare steel? Can I use them outdoors?
Steel with a plain finish, meaning no zinc or galvanized coating. Keep them to dry interior work such as panel and enclosure mounting, equipment anchoring inside, or anywhere they will be painted over. For exterior, damp, or corrosive locations, specify a zinc-plated, hot-dip galvanized, or stainless 5/16-18 bolt instead.
3) What wrench or socket size fits the head on this 5/16-18 Metallics hex bolt?
The hex head measures 0.484 to 0.500 inch across the flats, so a 1/2 inch wrench or socket is the one to grab. It is a plain hex head, no washer face flange or driver recess.
4) How are the JBHC561PL bolts packaged, and is there a minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 count is the order minimum, so you buy by the jar rather than by the piece. The jar weighs 5.51 lbs. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC series by request.
5) Do these hex bolts come with nuts and washers, or do I order those separately?
The jar contains bolts only. Budget separately for 5/16-18 hex nuts and 5/16 flat or lock washers to match the job. If the bolts go into tapped channel, strut, or equipment holes, no nut is needed.
6) Where is the Metallics JBHC561PL bolt made?
Country of origin is China. It is listed as ARRA compliant, which matters on federally funded work where that documentation is requested.
