Metallics JBHC14PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics JBHC14PL hex bolts?
They are 5/16-18 x 2 inch hex bolts: 5/16 inch nominal diameter with 18 threads per inch (coarse UNC), and a 2 inch fastener length. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.298 to 0.324 inch. They mate with any standard 5/16-18 nut or tapped hole, so they will thread into 5/16-18 strut nuts, channel nuts, and beam clamps.
2) Are these bolts coated or galvanized? Can I use them outdoors?
No coating. The JBHC14PL is plain finish steel, meaning bare, uncoated bolts. Keep them for dry interior work such as indoor strut runs, panel and enclosure mounting, or bolting inside a building. For wet locations, exterior runs, or anything exposed to weather or washdown, order a hot dip galvanized or zinc plated 5/16-18 hex bolt instead, since plain steel will rust.
3) How many bolts come in a jar, and is there a minimum order?
Each jar holds 100 of the 5/16-18 x 2 inch hex bolts, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the buying unit. That jar weighs 4.98 lbs. Other sizes and quantities can be requested.
4) Do these Metallics hex bolts meet a recognized dimensional standard for submittals?
Yes. The BHC/JBHC hex bolts are made to ASME B18.2.1-1996, the dimensional standard for square and hex bolts and screws. That is the line to cite on a submittal or MRO spec sheet when a drawing calls for a standard hex bolt. Note that ASME B18.2.1 governs dimensions, not material strength, so if your spec calls out a grade marking, confirm that separately.
5) Do nuts and washers come with the JBHC14PL bolts?
Bolts only. The jar of 100 contains the 5/16-18 x 2 inch plain steel hex bolts with no nuts or washers, so order 5/16-18 hex nuts and 5/16 flat or lock washers separately if the connection needs them. Hex bolts are fully threaded or partially threaded depending on length, so check the shank against the grip thickness of your assembly before you nut it up.
6) What is the overall shank-to-head geometry on these bolts if I need the stackup to clear?
The stated figures for the 5/16-18 x 2 inch hex bolt are a fastener length of 2 inches, a head width of 0.484 to 0.500 inch, a fastener height of 0.195 to 0.235, and a fastener width of 0.552 to 0.577. Use the 2 inch length against your grip thickness plus washer and nut, and the 0.552 to 0.577 figure when you need clearance in a tight channel or next to an enclosure wall.
7) Where are Metallics JBHC14PL bolts made?
Country of origin is China. That matters on federally funded or Buy America jobs, so if your project has a domestic sourcing requirement, verify the origin requirement against your contract before specifying these.
