Metallics JSBH16 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics JSBH16 hex bolt?
It's a 5/16-18 hex bolt, 3 inches long. The 18 threads per inch makes it coarse thread (UNC), so it mates with standard 5/16-18 nuts and tapped holes. Measured shank diameter runs 0.3065 to 0.3125 inch.
2) Will the Metallics JSBH16 bolt hold up outdoors or in a washdown area?
It's 18-8 stainless steel, which is the grade used where general atmospheric corrosion resistance is needed, including chemical and food-processing equipment. For aggressive chemical exposure, 316 stainless or other special corrosion-resistant material is the better call.
3) Are Metallics JSBH16 stainless bolts Buy American or ARRA compliant?
No. The JSBH16 hex bolts are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant; country of origin is listed as multiple. On a federally funded job with domestic sourcing requirements, these won't satisfy the spec.
4) What size wrench or socket fits these 5/16-18 stainless hex bolts?
The hex head measures 0.489 to 0.500 inch across the flats, so a 1/2 inch wrench or socket is the right tool. Head height is 13/64 inch.
5) How strong is a 5/16-18 18-8 stainless hex bolt, and is it strong enough for structural work?
Tensile strength is 100,000 to 150,000 psi minimum with a 65,000 psi minimum yield, and hardness runs Rockwell B95 to C32. That's typical austenitic stainless territory, fine for equipment mounting, strut, hangers and general electrical and mechanical work. For structural steel connections a code-specified structural bolt is called for instead, not a stainless cap screw.
6) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JSBH16, and is that the minimum order?
Each jar holds 100 of the 5/16-18 x 3 inch stainless hex bolts, and one jar is the order minimum. Nuts and washers are not part of the pack, so order those separately if the job needs them. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
7) What trades use the Metallics JSBH16 hex bolt?
It's stocked for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, typical uses being equipment mounting, hanger and strut assemblies, and panel or enclosure hardware where a corrosion-resistant fastener is wanted.
