Metallics JG5HC14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread and size is the Metallics JG5HC14 hex bolt?
It's a 5/16-18 hex cap screw, 2 inches long, with 18 threads per inch (coarse UNC for this diameter). Measured shank diameter runs 0.3065 to 0.3125 inch, so it drops through a standard 5/16 clearance hole and takes any 5/16-18 nut or tapped hole.
2) Is a Grade 5 bolt strong enough to mount a motor to a machine base?
Yes, that's exactly what this one is sold for. Grade 5 medium carbon steel, heat treated, rated at 105,000 psi minimum tensile with hardness of Rockwell C19-30. It's the standard structural-duty cap screw for motor mounts, equipment bases, and automotive or truck repair work. If your spec calls out Grade 8 or stainless, this is not a substitute.
3) Do these hex bolts meet a recognized dimensional standard for spec work?
Head and thread dimensions conform to ASME B18.2.1-2012, the standard for square and hex bolts and screws, and the steel falls in the AISI 1008-1026 range. If a drawing calls for an ASME B18.2.1 Grade 5 hex cap screw in 5/16-18 x 2, this matches it dimensionally.
4) Are these bolts Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JG5HC14 Grade 5 hex bolts are not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing requirements you'll need a domestic-certified fastener instead.
5) What wrench or socket size fits these 5/16-18 Grade 5 hex bolts?
Head width across flats measures 0.489 to 0.500 inch, so a 1/2 inch socket or wrench is the right size. Head height is 13/64 inch, which matters if you're working in a tight pocket or under a motor base.
6) Will zinc-plated bolts hold up outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The finish is zinc plating over steel, which handles indoor mechanical rooms, equipment bases, and sheltered locations. It is not a hot-dip galvanized or stainless bolt, so for direct weather exposure, wet process areas, or anywhere with chemical washdown you want a galvanized or stainless 5/16-18 instead.
7) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JG5HC14 and can I buy fewer?
They ship as a 100-piece jar, and that jar is the order minimum, so this isn't sold by the individual bolt. The jar packaging is what makes it practical for a service van or an MRO crib shelf. Metallics lists other sizes and quantities in the G5HC and JG5HC series by request.
8) What trades actually use a 5/16-18 x 2 Grade 5 zinc hex bolt?
Metallics targets the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades with this one. Typical uses are hanging and anchoring equipment, strut and channel connections, motor and blower mounts, and pump or compressor bases, plus automotive and truck repair. The 2 inch length gives you enough grip for a bracket plus a channel nut or a thicker mounting flange.
