Metallics JBHC42PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch are the Metallics JBHC42PL hex bolts?
They are 5/16-18 hex bolts, so 18 threads per inch on a 5/16 inch nominal diameter, cut to the ASME B18.2.1-1996 thread standard. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.298 to 0.324 inch. Any standard 5/16-18 hex nut or tapped 5/16-18 hole will mate with them.
2) Are these plain steel bolts suitable for outdoor or damp electrical work?
No. The JBHC42PL is plain finish steel, meaning bare uncoated steel with no zinc or galvanizing, so it will rust in wet or outdoor locations. Keep these to dry interior work such as indoor strut, panel and enclosure mounting, and specify a zinc plated or galvanized 5/16-18 hex bolt for anything exposed to weather or washdown.
3) Will a 3/4 inch long 5/16-18 hex bolt reach through strut and a channel nut?
The 3/4 inch length is the shank under the head, which is short duty hardware: it suits fastening into a channel nut, a tapped boss, or through sheet metal and a single bracket. Stack up your material thickness plus the nut height first, because 3/4 inch leaves little to spare once you pass through two thick members. For deeper stacks order a longer length in the same BHC and JBHC series.
4) What wrench or socket size fits these 5/16-18 hex bolts?
The hex head measures 0.484 to 0.500 inch across the flats, which is a 1/2 inch wrench or socket.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC42PL?
One hundred bolts per jar, and 100 count is the order minimum. The jar packaging keeps loose hardware contained on a service truck or on a shop shelf better than a poly bag. Total packed weight is 2.41 lbs.
6) Can I get the Metallics JBHC bolts in a different length or diameter?
Yes. Other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC hex bolt line are available by request, so if 5/16-18 x 3/4 is not the size on your drawing, ask for the length or diameter you need rather than substituting a different head style.
7) Where is the Metallics JBHC42PL hex bolt made?
Country of origin is China. Worth checking against your project's sourcing requirements before you commit on a publicly funded job.
