Metallics JBLS20G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JBLS20G lag bolt OK for outdoor or wet locations?
Yes. The JBLS20G is a galvanized steel lag bolt, and Metallics calls out this finish for use in corrosive environments. That covers exterior strut and pipe support, damp mechanical rooms, and treated-lumber framing where a plain zinc bolt would rust out. For fully submerged or coastal exposure, stainless is the better call.
2) What size is the JBLS20G lag bolt and what pilot hole does the thread need?
It is a 5/16 x 6 inch hex lag bolt. The shank measures 0.298 to 0.324 inch outside diameter with 9 threads per inch, so your pilot hole should be sized to the root of that thread, not the full 5/16 shank, or you will snap the head before the bolt seats. Full-bodied shank with spaced threads and a gimlet point, so it starts in wood without a lead hole in soft material.
3) What wrench or socket size fits the hex head on this 5/16 lag bolt?
The head measures 0.484 to 0.500 inch across the flats, so a 1/2 inch socket or wrench is the tool you want. In a deep ceiling or strut application use a deep socket, since 6 inches of shank has to clear.
4) Does the JBLS20G meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public job?
Metallics flags the JBLS20G as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, with country of origin listed as China. On federally funded work, hand both of those facts to your specifier before submitting, because the compliance path for a fastener under those rules is not the same as domestic melt-and-manufacture.
5) What standard and strength does this hex lag bolt meet?
Dimensions follow ASME B18.2.1-1996, material is AISI 1006 to 1022 steel, tensile strength is 60,000 psi minimum, and hardness runs Rockwell B70 to B100. That is standard commercial carbon steel lag screw territory, fine for wood framing, blocking, and support anchorage. If a drawing calls for a higher grade bolt, this is not a substitute for it.
6) How many lag bolts come in the JBLS20G jar, and can I buy fewer?
The JBLS20G ships as a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum, so it is not sold loose or by the piece. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities on request if 5/16 x 6 in a 100-pack is not what the job needs.
7) Do I need washers with these lag bolts, or are any included?
Washers are not part of the jar. The JBLS20G is bolts only, 100 to a jar, so order flat washers separately if you are bearing on wood or on a slotted strut, which you generally want with a hex lag to spread the load under the head.
8) How much does a jar of 100 of these 5/16 x 6 lag bolts weigh for shipping?
A full jar runs 10.73 lbs. Worth knowing if you are stacking several jars on a service truck or figuring freight on a bulk order.
