Metallics JBLS12 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size wrench or socket do I need for Metallics 5/16 inch hex lag bolts?
The hex head across flats measures 0.484 to 0.500 inch, so a 1/2 inch socket or wrench drives these lag bolts. A nut driver or impact with a 1/2 inch hex socket is the fastest way through a jar of 100.
2) Can I use these zinc-plated lag bolts outdoors or on a coastal building?
No. Zinc plating on steel is meant for dry, non-corrosive indoor service. For exterior, damp, treated-lumber or coastal work, step up to hot-dip galvanized or 18-8 stainless lag bolts instead; the plated steel will rust out in those conditions.
3) Are Metallics JBLS12 lag bolts Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. These lag bolts are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this is not the fastener for that package.
4) Can lag bolts like these be used to anchor into concrete or masonry?
No. The JBLS12 is a wood lag bolt with a spaced thread and gimlet point, meant to cut its own thread in timber. For concrete, block or brick you need a masonry anchor such as a sleeve or wedge anchor, or a lag shield used with the lag screw.
5) What is the strength rating on Metallics JBLS12 lag bolts?
Minimum tensile strength is 60,000 psi, with the steel running Rockwell B70 to B100 hardness and made to AISI 1006-1022 material spec. That is standard low-carbon lag bolt strength, suitable for mounting electrical gear, pipe supports and HVAC hangers in wood. It is not a structural Grade 5 or Grade 8 bolt, so do not substitute it where a graded machine bolt is specified on the drawing.
6) Do these lag bolts meet a recognized dimensional standard for spec work?
Yes, the Metallics hex lag bolts are manufactured to ASME B18.2.1-1996 dimensional standards, which is the specification most commercial submittals call for on hex lag screws. Threads are right hand.
7) Do I need washers with these lag bolts?
Use a flat washer under the head whenever you are clamping through a softer material or an equipment bracket with an oversize hole, so the head does not pull through. Washers are not included with the jar of 100 lag bolts; order them separately in 5/16 inch to match the bolt.
8) How are these sold, and how many come in a jar?
Sold by the jar, 100 bolts per jar, part number JBLS12. The full jar weighs 3.72 lbs, which is easy to keep on the truck for service calls rather than counting out loose fasteners.
