Metallics JBLS20SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are these lag bolts OK for outdoor or coastal use, or will they rust?
They are 18-8 stainless steel, which Metallics calls out as having better corrosion resistance than galvanized steel lag bolts. That makes them the right pick for exterior ledgers, dock and deck framing, strut and conduit supports on exterior walls, and anywhere moisture or washdown would eventually chew through a zinc coating. One caution for exterior wood framing: pair stainless fasteners with stainless or compatible connectors, since mixing dissimilar metals in wet conditions invites galvanic corrosion.
2) How many lag bolts come in a jar, and can I buy a smaller count?
The JBLS20SS ships as a jar of 50 pieces, and 50 count is the order minimum. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities in the BLS and JBLS lag bolt series are available by request, so if you need a different length or diameter in the same stainless bolt, ask rather than assuming the jar of 50 is the only configuration.
3) Is this a full-bodied lag bolt or a reduced-shank screw, and does it meet a dimensional standard?
It is a full-bodied hex lag bolt, meaning the shank runs the nominal 5/16 diameter rather than being necked down, with spaced lag threads and a gimlet point. Dimensions are built to ASME B18.2.1-1996, so the head and body conform to the standard hex lag envelope your drawing or submittal is likely calling out.
4) Do these lag bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
Metallics flags the JBLS20SS as compliant for both ARRA and Buy American, with country of origin listed as China. For a federally funded project, confirm which rule your contract actually invokes, because Buy American Act treatment and ARRA domestic sourcing provisions handle fasteners differently depending on the procurement.
5) Do I need to add washers when installing these lag bolts?
Washers are not part of the jar, so order them separately if the connection calls for one. A flat washer under the head is normal practice on wood so the hex head does not crush into the surface or pull through, and on stainless lags use a stainless washer to avoid mixing metals. Size it to the 5/16 shank, which measures 0.298 to 0.324 inch.
6) How much does a jar of 50 of these 5/16 x 6 stainless lag bolts weigh?
The jar comes in at 5.61 lbs for the 50 count, which is worth knowing if you are staging multiple jars on a cart or a lift. Jar footprint is listed at 4.5 in length by 4.5 in width by 7.25 in height.
