Metallics JG5HTB55 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JG5HTB55?
Each jar holds 50 of the 5/16-18 x 4-1/2 inch Grade 5 hex tap bolts. It ships as a jar pack, which is the handy-pack format for a service truck or a shop bin rather than a bulk carton.
2) Do I need nuts and washers with the JG5HTB55 hex tap bolts?
The jar contains the 50 bolts only. For a through-bolted joint you also order 5/16-18 hex nuts, and flat washers or a lock washer if the design calls for them. Threading straight into a tapped hole or a strut nut, no additional nut is needed.
3) What is a hex tap bolt and how is it different from a regular hex cap screw?
A hex tap bolt has a hex head and threads running the whole shank, so it's used where you want engagement right up to the head, typically into a tapped hole or a short grip. A standard hex cap screw of the same 5/16-18 size has a plain unthreaded shoulder under the head, which is preferred when the load bears on the shank in shear. For electrical strut, boxes, and equipment feet the fully threaded tap bolt is the usual pick.
4) Is a 4-1/2 inch hex tap bolt too long for my application, and can I cut it down?
At 4-1/2 inches the 5/16-18 hex tap bolt is sized for thick stackups, spacers, or going through several layers of strut and backing. Because it's fully threaded, excess length past the nut is cosmetic rather than a fit problem, and it can be cut to length with the thread still usable once chased. If your grip is only an inch or two, a shorter 5/16-18 bolt keeps the job cleaner.
