Metallics JBHC21PL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread and size are the Metallics JBHC21PL hex bolts, and what nut do they take?
The JBHC21PL is a 5/8-11 hex bolt, 1 inch long, with 11 threads per inch. That's the standard UNC coarse pitch for 5/8 inch diameter, so it mates with any 5/8-11 UNC nut or tapped hole. Measured thread outside diameter runs 0.605 to 0.642 inch. With only 1 inch of length under the head, grip is short, so plan on clamping thin material or threading into a tapped channel or strut insert.
2) Are these plain steel bolts suitable for outdoor or damp electrical installations?
No. The JBHC21PL is plain finish steel with no plating or coating, so it has no corrosion protection and will rust in wet, humid, or exterior locations. Keep plain bolts indoors and dry. For outdoor racks, rooftop conduit supports, or anywhere washdown or weather is a factor, specify a zinc plated or hot dip galvanized 5/8-11 hex bolt instead.
3) Do these Metallics hex bolts meet Buy American requirements on a federal job?
Metallics lists the JBHC21PL as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, with country of origin China. Submit it against your project's specific domestic preference clause, because different programs treat the same compliance flag differently.
4) How are the Metallics JBHC21PL bolts packaged, and what is the minimum order?
They ship 50 count in a jar, and 50 is the order minimum, so a jar is the smallest buy. The jar weighs 7.79 lbs. Jar packaging suits a service van or a shop bin where you want the count contained rather than loose in a tray. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request.
5) Will a 5/8-11 hex bolt made to ASME B18.2.1 drop into my existing hardware?
Yes, within that standard's tolerances. The JBHC21PL is built to ASME B18.2.1-1996, the dimensional standard for inch hex bolts and screws, so head and body dimensions interchange with any other bolt made to the same spec. That matters when you are topping up a bin or matching existing fasteners on a rack or switchgear frame rather than replacing a whole set.
6) What is the difference between the Metallics BHC and JBHC bolt part numbers?
Both sit in the same BHC and JBHC series of steel hex bolts. The J prefix on JBHC21PL indicates the jar pack, 50 count here. If you need a different pack quantity or a different length in 5/8-11, Metallics states other sizes and quantities are available by request.
