Metallics JG5HCF14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JG5HCF14 bolt a fine thread or coarse thread 5/16 bolt?
Fine thread. The JG5HCF14 is a 5/16-24 hex cap screw, 24 threads per inch, which is the UNF fine pitch rather than the 5/16-18 coarse pitch. It will not thread into a 5/16-18 tapped hole or take a coarse 5/16 nut, so match it to fine-thread hardware only. Thread form follows ASME B18.2.1-2012.
2) How strong is a Grade 5 zinc hex bolt like the Metallics JG5HCF14?
It is a Grade 5 fastener with 105,000 psi minimum tensile strength and 105,000 psi minimum yield, hardness Rockwell C19-30. The steel is medium carbon, heat treated, to AISI 1008-1026. That covers motor mounting and general machinery work; if your drawing calls for Grade 8, this is not a substitute.
3) What wrench or socket size fits the head on this 5/16-24 Grade 5 hex bolt?
The hex head measures 0.489 to 0.500 inch across the flats, so a 1/2 inch wrench or socket is the correct size. Head height is 13/64 inch, with a wrenching height of 0.14 inch, so you need about that much clear head exposed above the surface to get full socket engagement.
4) What hole size do I need to drill for a 5/16-24 x 2 hex cap screw?
The bolt's shank outside diameter is 0.3065 to 0.3125 inch, so a clearance hole needs to be larger than 0.3125 inch. A 5/16 inch drill is nominally the same as the shank and will bind, so step up for through-bolting. Usable length is 2 inches, so grip plus nut and washer thickness has to stay under that.
5) Will the zinc finish on these bolts hold up outdoors?
The finish is zinc plating over steel, a zinc chromate type coating. That is fine for dry interior and protected mechanical work such as motor mounts, machinery, and automotive or truck repair. For continuous wet exposure, salt, or coastal use, zinc-plated carbon steel is not the right choice; specify hot dip galvanized or stainless instead.
6) Do these Metallics Grade 5 bolts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
The JG5HCF14 is flagged Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant in the product record. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your project requires documented origin on each shipment, ask for the paperwork with the lot you receive.
7) Does this bolt come with nuts and washers?
No. The jar contains the hex cap screws only, 100 pieces of 5/16-24 x 2. You will need to order 5/16-24 fine thread nuts and 5/16 washers separately, and the nuts must be fine thread to match the 24 TPI.
