Metallics JBLS13SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size lag bolt is the Metallics JBLS13SS, and how many come in a jar?
The Metallics JBLS13SS is a 5/16 x 1-1/2 inch hex head lag bolt in 18-8 stainless steel, packed 100 to a jar. The jar of 100 is also the order minimum, so it ships as a full jar rather than loose pieces.
2) Will stainless lag bolts hold up better than galvanized for outdoor or damp locations?
That is the reason to pick these. The JBLS13SS lag bolts are 18-8 stainless, which Metallics rates as having superior corrosion resistance to galvanized steel bolts. For exterior strut, condensate-prone mechanical rooms, or coastal work, the stainless is the one to spec.
3) Do these stainless lag bolts qualify for Buy American or ARRA federal jobs?
No. The JBLS13SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded job with domestic sourcing requirements you will need a domestically produced lag instead.
4) What drill size and thread count should I plan for with a 5/16 inch stainless lag bolt?
Thread pitch is 9 threads per inch, right hand, and the shank runs 0.298 to 0.324 inch outside diameter. In wood you pilot for the shank diameter minus the thread depth, so a 3/16 inch pilot in softwood and 7/32 inch in hardwood is the usual practice for a 5/16 lag. The gimlet point starts the thread once the pilot is in.
5) What wrench or socket size fits the hex head on these Metallics lag bolts?
Head width across flats measures 0.484 to 0.500 inch, so a 1/2 inch socket or wrench drives it. Standard hex head, no washer face required.
6) Are these lag bolts strong enough for hanging conduit, strut, and pipe supports?
Tensile strength on the 18-8 stainless JBLS13SS runs approximately 100,000 to 125,000 psi minimum, with hardness in the Rockwell B95 to C32 range. Metallics lists the field application as the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, which is exactly trapeze hangers, strut mounting, and pipe clamp anchoring into wood framing or blocking.
7) Do I need to add washers when using these 5/16 stainless lag bolts?
Lag bolts bear directly on the hex head, so a washer is only needed when you are clamping soft wood or an oversized hole. Washers are not part of the jar of 100 and are ordered separately; match them to the 0.298 to 0.324 inch shank in 18-8 stainless so you are not mixing metals and setting up galvanic corrosion.
8) Is this a full-bodied lag bolt or a reduced shank?
Full-bodied. The JBLS13SS has a hex head, spaced lag threads, and a gimlet point on an unreduced shank, built to the ASME B18.2.1-1996 dimensional standard.
