Metallics JG5HTB64 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JG5HTB64 hex tap bolt threaded all the way to the head?
Yes. A hex tap bolt is fully threaded from head to point, which is what separates it from a partially threaded hex cap screw. On the JG5HTB64 that means the full 3-1/4 inches of the 5/16-18 shank carries thread, so you can run a nut anywhere along it or thread it directly into a tapped hole at any engagement depth.
2) Will a 5/16-18 hex tap bolt thread into my existing coarse thread nuts and tapped holes?
Yes, if the hole or nut is 5/16-18 UNC right hand. The bolt is cut 18 threads per inch, right hand, with a body diameter of 0.3065 to 0.3125 inch, and it is made to ASME B18.2.1-2012 dimensions, so it interchanges with any standard 5/16-18 coarse thread hardware. It will not start in a 5/16-24 fine thread hole.
3) What wrench or socket size fits the head on a 5/16-18 Metallics grade 5 hex tap bolt?
The head measures 0.489 to 0.500 inch across the flats, so a 1/2 inch wrench or socket is the fit. Head height is 13/64 inch, which matters if you are working under a bracket or in a shallow counterbore.
4) Will zinc plated steel bolts hold up outdoors or in a wet location?
Zinc plating on steel is a mild corrosion coating meant for dry or sheltered indoor service. For sustained outdoor exposure, washdown areas, or anything coastal, move to an 18-8 stainless hex tap bolt in the same 5/16-18 x 3-1/4 size instead of the zinc plated grade 5.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JG5HTB64, and can I buy fewer?
They ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit sold. Metallics offers other sizes and quantities in the G5HTB and JG5HTB hex tap bolt series on request.
6) Do Metallics grade 5 hex tap bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a federal job?
They are flagged as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in the manufacturer data, with country of origin listed as China. If your contract enforces a domestic melt and manufacture clause, verify that against the specific provision your project is written under before submitting them.
7) What steel are Metallics G5 hex tap bolts made from?
AISI 1008 through 1026 medium carbon steel, heat treated to reach grade 5 properties: 105,000 psi minimum tensile and yield, Rockwell C19-30. That heat treatment is why these should not be welded or re-heated in place, since it draws the temper out.
