Metallics JBHC31 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC31 hex bolt take, and what nut do I need?
The JBHC31 is a 5/8-11 hex bolt, meaning 5/8 inch diameter with 11 threads per inch, which is standard UNC coarse thread. Any 5/8-11 UNC nut will thread onto it. Thread form follows ASME B18.2.1-1996.
2) Is a Grade 2 zinc plated hex bolt strong enough for electrical strut and hanger work?
Grade 2 is the standard low-carbon steel grade used for general mounting and support work, which is what this bolt is built for: Metallics lists it for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. It is steel with a zinc finish. If your drawing calls out Grade 5 or Grade 8 for a structural or high-torque connection, Grade 2 is not a substitute.
3) Does the Metallics JBHC31 hex bolt meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a public job?
No. The JBHC31 is not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On federally funded or domestic-preference work, specify a domestic-sourced fastener instead.
4) Is a 1-1/2 inch long hex bolt long enough for my strut and clamp stack?
At 1-1/2 inches of overall length under the head, the JBHC31 suits thinner stack-ups, roughly a strut channel plus a clamp or fitting and a nut. Add your material thicknesses plus about a nut's height of thread engagement; if that totals more than 1-1/2 inches, step up to a longer 5/8-11 bolt. Metallics offers other lengths in the BHC and JBHC series by request.
5) What wrench or socket size fits the head on the Metallics JBHC31 bolt?
Head width across flats measures 0.906 to 0.938 inch, so a 15/16 inch wrench or socket is the fit. Head height is 27/64 inch, worth knowing if you're working in a shallow channel or tight strut run.
6) Will a zinc plated hex bolt hold up outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
Zinc plating on steel is a mild corrosion coating, fine for indoor and protected mechanical spaces. For direct weather exposure, buried, or wet-location use, hot dip galvanized or stainless is the right call instead.
7) How many bolts come in the Metallics JBHC31 and how is it packaged?
JBHC31 ships as a jar of 50 pieces, and 50 each is the order minimum. The jar runs 7.25 inches high by 4.5 by 4.5 inches and weighs 9.23 lbs, so a shelf or gang box with a few inches of clearance holds it fine. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request.
8) What hole size do I drill or punch for a 5/8-11 hex bolt like the JBHC31?
The bolt's shank outside diameter runs 0.605 to 0.642 inch, so a 11/16 inch hole clears it with room to adjust. A 5/8 inch hole is a tight fit and may bind on the upper end of that tolerance.
