Metallics JG5HTB69 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JG5HTB69 hex tap bolt threaded the full length of the shank?
A hex tap bolt is threaded all the way to the head, which is what separates it from a standard hex cap screw with a plain grip length. The JG5HTB69 runs 5/16-18 x 3-1/2 inches, right hand thread at 18 threads per inch, to ASME B18.2.1-2012. Full thread means you can set your grip with nuts or tap straight into a threaded hole at any depth up to 3-1/2 inches.
2) Will a 5/16-18 hex tap bolt pass through a 5/16 inch drilled hole?
Body diameter runs 0.3065 to 0.3125 inches, so it is right at nominal 5/16. A drilled 5/16 hole is a tight slip at best; for a clearance fit, drill 11/32 or 3/8 depending on how much adjustment you want. In a tapped hole you need 5/16-18 threads to match.
3) What wrench or socket size fits these 5/16-18 grade 5 hex bolts?
The hex head measures 0.489 to 0.500 inches across the flats, so a 1/2 inch wrench or socket is the correct size. Head height is 13/64 inch, with 0.14 inch of wrenching height, so keep that in mind if you are working in a counterbore or tight pocket.
4) Are these zinc plated bolts suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
The finish is zinc plating over steel, which handles indoor, dry, and lightly damp service. For sustained outdoor exposure, washdown areas, or coastal sites, zinc plating will eventually corrode and 18-8 stainless is the better call.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JG5HTB69, and can I buy fewer?
They ship as a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum. Smaller counts are not broken out of the jar. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities in the G5HTB and JG5HTB series by request.
6) Do these Metallics grade 5 bolts qualify for Buy American or ARRA projects?
The JG5HTB69 is flagged ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in Metallics' data, with country of origin China. For a federally funded job, that compliance flag is the vendor's own classification, so match it against the specific clause your contract cites before you commit the submittal.
7) Do hex tap bolts come with nuts and washers, or do I order those separately?
The jar contains bolts only. If you are going through a clearance hole rather than into a tapped hole, you need 5/16-18 hex nuts and 5/16 flat and lock washers ordered separately. Match the plating, so zinc nuts and washers with these zinc plated bolts.
8) What steel is used in the Metallics JG5HTB69 hex tap bolt?
Material standard is AISI 1008 through 1026 steel, heat treated to grade 5 and zinc plated. Yield is listed at 105,000 psi minimum. Standard carbon steel, so it is magnetic and will need the zinc coating intact to resist rust.
