Metallics BBH83 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics BBH83 hex bolt silicon bronze or plated steel?
Solid silicon bronze, not a plated steel bolt. The BBH83 is made to ASTM F468, the material spec for nonferrous bolts, and carries a bronze finish throughout. That matters for grounding and marine or buried work where a plated steel fastener would corrode or set up galvanic trouble against bronze or copper hardware.
2) What thread does the 5/8 Metallics bronze hex bolt have, and will it take a standard 5/8-11 nut?
It is 5/8-11, coarse thread at 11 threads per inch, cut to ANSI/ASME B1.1. Any standard 5/8-11 UNC nut threads onto it. For a bronze assembly, pair it with a silicon bronze nut rather than steel so you are not mixing metals in the joint.
3) Will the Metallics BBH83 bolt meet a Buy American requirement on a federal job?
No. The BBH83 is flagged as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic-sourcing clause, this bolt will not clear it and you need a domestically sourced silicon bronze fastener instead.
4) How is the Metallics BBH83 sold, and can I buy fewer than 100?
It ships as a jar of 100 with a 100-count order minimum, so a jar is the smallest buy. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities on request if 5/8-11 x 1-3/4 in a hundred-pack is not what the job needs.
5) Why would an electrician use a silicon bronze hex bolt instead of galvanized steel?
Bronze is what you reach for at copper connections, ground grids, and bonding points. Steel against copper corrodes galvanically; silicon bronze does not, and it holds up in damp, buried, and coastal conditions. The BBH83 is a 5/8-11 bronze hex bolt carried on the electrical side for exactly that kind of grounding and bonding hardware work.
6) Does a nut and washer come with the BBH83 bronze bolts?
No. A jar of 100 is bolts only, no nuts or washers. Order matching silicon bronze nuts and washers separately so the whole joint stays in one metal.
