Metallics JBHC55PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch is the Metallics JBHC55PL hex bolt, and will it thread into a 5/8-11 tapped hole?
It's a 5/8-11 coarse thread bolt, 11 threads per inch, so it mates with any 5/8-11 UNC tapped hole or nut. Thread form follows ASME B18.2.1-1996, the dimensional standard for square and hex bolts and screws, so it interchanges with other standard 5/8-11 hex bolts. Grip length is 1-3/4 inches, which is short, so plan on thin-to-moderate material stacks rather than deep clamping.
2) Are these plain steel bolts okay for outdoor or damp electrical work?
No. The JBHC55PL is plain finish carbon steel with no plating or coating, so it has no corrosion protection and will rust in wet, outdoor, or washdown locations. Keep plain bolts to dry indoor use (interior strut, panel and enclosure mounting, equipment anchoring). For exterior or damp work, order a zinc plated or hot dip galvanized 5/8-11 x 1-3/4 hex bolt instead.
3) What wrench or socket size fits the head on a 5/8-11 Metallics hex bolt?
The hex head measures 0.906 to 0.938 inch across the flats, which is the standard 15/16 inch wrench or socket size for a 5/8 inch bolt. Head height is 27/64 inch, worth knowing if you're working in a tight pocket or under a cover plate.
4) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC55PL, and can I buy fewer?
They ship as a jar of 50, and 50 count is the order minimum, so that jar is the smallest quantity. The jar packaging is the point for a service van or a shop bench, it keeps a single size separated instead of loose in a bucket. Metallics lists other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC series by request if 5/8-11 x 1-3/4 isn't the size you need.
5) Do these Metallics hex bolts meet Buy American requirements on a federally funded job?
The JBHC55PL is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA purposes in Metallics' product data, with country of origin listed as China. If your specification is a strict domestic-melt-and-manufacture clause rather than a Buy American provision that allows this classification, confirm against the actual contract language before you submit it.
6) What hole size do I need to drill for a 5/8-11 hex bolt like the JBHC55PL?
Shank outside diameter runs 0.605 to 0.642 inch, so a 5/8 inch nominal body. For a clearance hole, 11/16 inch is the normal drill for a 5/8 bolt and gives room for the shank at the top of that tolerance. If you're tapping instead of drilling clearance, the tap drill for 5/8-11 UNC is 17/32 inch.
7) Do nuts and washers come with these Metallics bolts?
No, the JBHC55PL jar is bolts only, 50 hex bolts in 5/8-11 x 1-3/4. Order 5/8-11 hex nuts and 5/8 flat and lock washers separately to complete the assembly, and match the finish, plain hardware with plain bolts so you aren't mixing a plated nut onto an unplated bolt in a damp spot.
8) How heavy is a 50 count jar of 5/8-11 x 1-3/4 Metallics hex bolts?
The jar comes in at 10.37 lbs, with jar dimensions of 7.25 x 4.5 x 4.5 inches. That's a two-hand pickup but it fits a van shelf or a gang box tray without repacking.
