Metallics JBHC31PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wrench or socket size fits the Metallics JBHC31PL 5/8-11 hex bolt?
Head width across flats runs 0.906 to 0.938 in., which is a 15/16 in. wrench or socket. Head height is 27/64 in., so a standard six-point socket seats fully without bottoming on the washer face.
2) Is this bolt coarse or fine thread, and will it take a standard 5/8 hex nut?
It is 11 threads per inch, which is 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread, so any standard 5/8-11 hex nut, coupling nut, or coarse-threaded channel nut will run on it. Thread dimensions follow ASME B18.2.1-1996.
3) Can I use plain finish steel bolts outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
No. The finish is plain, meaning bare steel with no zinc or coating, so it will rust where there is moisture. Keep these for dry interior work, or specify a galvanized or zinc-plated 5/8-11 bolt for exterior, rooftop, or wet locations.
4) How many bolts come in a jar, and is there an order minimum?
The JBHC31PL ships as a jar of 50 bolts, and 50 count is the order minimum. The jar pack keeps loose 5/8 hardware off the floor of a gang box, which is why it is a common stocking item on a service van.
5) Do nuts and washers come with these hex bolts?
No, the jar contains hex bolts only. Order 5/8-11 hex nuts and 5/8 flat or lock washers separately to complete the assembly.
6) Are these Metallics hex bolts acceptable on a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
Metallics flags the JBHC31PL as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant in its product data. If your specification requires documented domestic melt and manufacture, ask for the manufacturer's compliance letter for the BHC/JBHC series before submitting.
7) What is the thread diameter on the JBHC31PL, and will it pass through a 5/8 hole?
Outside diameter over the threads measures 0.605 to 0.642 in. A nominal 5/8 in. hole is tight to that range, so drill or punch 11/16 in. for clearance on field-fabricated brackets.
8) What is the shipping weight of a 50-count jar of these 5/8-11 bolts?
The packed jar weighs 9.23 lbs and measures 4.5 x 7.25 x 4.5 in. Useful if you are planning a shelf location or batching several jars onto one order.
9) I need the same bolt in a different length or a larger quantity. Is that available?
Other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC hex bolt series can be supplied by request, so if you need a longer 5/8-11 or a bulk box instead of the 50-count jar, ask for it against this series.
