Metallics JBLS12SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pilot hole do I need for the Metallics JBLS12SS 5/16 x 2 lag bolt?
The JBLS12SS has a measured outside (thread) diameter of 0.298 to 0.324 inch with 9 threads per inch, right hand. The shank under the threads runs 0.195 to 0.235 inch, so a pilot drilled to roughly that shank size in solid wood lets the gimlet point pull the spaced threads in without splitting the member. Drill the full 2 inch depth of the bolt.
2) Will stainless lag bolts hold up on exterior strut and conduit supports?
Yes. The JBLS12SS is 18-8 stainless steel, which gives better corrosion resistance than galvanized steel lag bolts, so it holds up in damp, exterior, and coastal-adjacent mounting where zinc plating gives out. Tensile strength runs approximately 100,000 to 125,000 psi minimum with a hardness of Rockwell B95-C32.
3) Can I use this Metallics lag bolt on a Buy American or ARRA federal project?
No. The JBLS12SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. For federally funded work carrying domestic-sourcing requirements, you need a domestically produced lag bolt instead.
4) What wrench or socket fits the hex head on this 5/16 lag bolt?
Head width across flats measures 0.484 to 0.500 inch, so a 1/2 inch socket or wrench drives it. It is a full-bodied hex head bolt, not a square head, so a standard 1/2 inch impact socket is all a crew needs on the job.
5) How many lag bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBLS12SS, and can I buy fewer?
It ships as a jar of 100, and 100 jar is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. Metallics offers other sizes and quantities of the BLS and JBLS lag bolts by request if 5/16 x 2 is not the length you need.
6) Does this hex lag bolt meet a recognized dimensional spec for submittals?
Dimensions conform to ASME B18.2.1-1996, the standard for square and hex bolts and screws. That is the line to cite on a submittal for hex lag bolts; it covers the head and thread geometry, not the material, which here is 18-8 stainless.
7) Do I need washers with these stainless lag bolts, and are any included?
The jar contains lag bolts only. A washer OD of 0.125 in. is listed as a reference spec, but no washers ship with it, so order stainless washers separately if you are lagging through soft wood or slotted strut where the hex head could pull through.
8) Is this lag bolt intended for electrical and mechanical trade work or general construction?
Metallics lists the field application as the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning industries. In practice that means strut, hangers, backboards, panel and box mounting into wood. It is a general-purpose full-bodied lag, so nothing stops it being used in framing work, but the 18-8 stainless material is what makes it worth specifying over a zinc lag.
