Metallics JSBH14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 5/16-18 stainless hex bolt thread into my existing 5/16 nuts and strut channel hardware?
Yes, as long as that hardware is 5/16-18 UNC. The JSBH14 runs 18 threads per inch with a 0.3065 to 0.3125 inch outside diameter, which is standard coarse 5/16 thread. It will not thread into 5/16-24 fine-thread nuts.
2) Is 18-8 stainless the right bolt for outdoor or wash-down areas?
18-8 austenitic stainless, which is what the JSBH14 is made from, is intended for general atmospheric corrosion resistance. That covers exterior conduit supports, chemical and food-processing equipment. For aggressive chloride or marine exposure, 316 stainless is the better call, not 18-8.
3) Does the Metallics 5/16-18 stainless hex bolt qualify for a Buy American or ARRA-funded job?
No. The JSBH14 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project specification carries a domestic sourcing requirement, this is not the bolt to submit.
4) What wrench size do I need for the Metallics JSBH14 5/16-18 hex bolt?
Across the flats the head measures 0.489 to 0.500 inch, so a 1/2 inch wrench or socket is the fit. Head height is 13/64 inch, which matters if you are working in a shallow channel or under a strut clamp.
5) How strong is this stainless hex bolt compared with a plated steel bolt?
The 18-8 stainless hex bolt is rated 100,000 to 150,000 psi minimum tensile with 65,000 psi minimum yield, and hardness of Rockwell B95 to C32. That puts it in the range of a plated Grade 5 fastener, but you buy it for the corrosion resistance. For high-strength structural connections, a graded carbon steel bolt is the correct choice.
6) Do these bolts come with nuts and washers?
No. The jar contains 100 hex bolts only. Order 5/16-18 stainless hex nuts and matching stainless flat and lock washers separately, and keep them in the same alloy family so you are not pairing stainless with plated steel in a wet location.
7) How does the JSBH14 ship, and what is the minimum I can buy?
It ships as a jar of 100 bolts, and the jar is the order minimum. Jar packaging suits a service van or a shop bin better than a loose bulk box. Total weight is 2273 g, with the jar measuring 5.75 by 3.5 inches.
8) Can I get this stainless hex bolt in other lengths or diameters?
Yes. The JSBH14 is the 5/16-18 by 2 inch size out of the Metallics SBHC and JSBHC stainless hex bolt series, and other sizes and quantities are available by request.
9) Is this a general-purpose trade bolt or something specialized?
It is a general-purpose stainless fastener aimed at the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, so typical use is hanging conduit, strut, equipment supports and panel mounting where corrosion is a concern.
