Metallics JG5HTB101 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JG5HTB101 hex tap bolt threaded all the way to the head?
Yes. A hex tap bolt is fully threaded, so the 5/16-18 thread runs the entire 6 inch length. That matters when you are bolting into a tapped hole in a motor base or a machine frame and need thread engagement right up at the head, rather than a hex cap screw with a plain shank under the head.
2) What nut and tapped hole size do I need for a 5/16-18 Grade 5 hex tap bolt?
It takes a standard 5/16-18 UNC nut or a 5/16-18 tapped hole, right hand thread, cut to ASME B18.2.1-2012. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.3065 to 0.3125 inches, so it drops through a 3/8 inch clearance hole.
3) How strong is a Grade 5 hex tap bolt, and is it strong enough for machinery mounting?
Grade 5, medium carbon steel, heat treated, with tensile and yield both rated at 105,000 psi minimum and hardness of Rockwell C19-30. That is the common structural-duty grade for bolting motors to bases and for automotive and truck repair work. If your drawing calls for Grade 8, this is not a substitute.
4) What wrench or socket size fits the head on these 5/16 Grade 5 hex tap bolts?
The hex head measures 0.489 to 0.500 inches across the flats, so a 1/2 inch wrench or socket is the one you want. Head height is 13/64 inch, with a wrenching height of 0.14 inch, so there is not much bearing surface for a deep worn socket to grab on.
5) Are these zinc plated bolts okay for outdoor or wet locations?
The finish is zinc plating over steel, which handles indoor, dry, and sheltered conditions. Zinc is a sacrificial coating, not stainless, so for continuous outdoor exposure, washdown areas, or coastal work you should move to 18-8 stainless or a hot dip galvanized bolt instead.
6) Do these Metallics hex tap bolts qualify for Buy American or ARRA jobs?
The record flags them as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, with country of origin China. On federally funded work where the contracting officer is enforcing a domestic melt-and-manufacture requirement rather than the compliance flag, confirm the clause in your contract governs which one applies.
7) What steel are these Grade 5 bolts made from?
Medium carbon steel in the AISI 1008 to 1026 range, heat treated to reach Grade 5 properties. That is a weldable-grade base steel, but heat treating a Grade 5 fastener by welding on it will destroy the strength it was treated for.
8) Can I get this 5/16-18 hex tap bolt in a different length or pack size?
Yes. The G5HTB and JG5HTB series runs other sizes and quantities by request; the JG5HTB101 is specifically the 5/16-18 by 6 inch in a 50 piece jar. If you need a shorter grip length or a bulk box instead of a jar, ask for the series size you want.
