Metallics JHTB71 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is a hex tap bolt threaded all the way to the head, or does it have a plain shank like a hex cap screw?
A tap bolt is fully threaded to the head, which is the point of the design. Metallics lists the JHTB71 for complete thread engagement applications, so you get usable thread over the whole 2-1/2 inch length. If you need an unthreaded grip length under the head for shear bearing, a hex cap screw is the part to use instead.
2) Do these Metallics tap bolts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. The JHTB71 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing requirements, you will need a documented domestic fastener instead.
3) What wrench or socket size do I need for a 5/8-11 Metallics tap bolt?
Head width across flats measures 0.906 to 0.938 in., which is a 15/16 inch wrench or socket. Head height is 27/64 in., worth knowing if you are working inside a channel or a tight boxed space.
4) Are these zinc plated steel bolts okay for outdoor or damp electrical work?
The JHTB71 is steel with a zinc finish, which handles indoor and normally dry or occasionally damp locations. For wet, coastal, or chemically aggressive runs, step up to the stainless version of the series (JSHTB) rather than zinc plated steel.
5) How many bolts come in a jar, and can I buy just a few?
The JHTB71 ships as a jar of 25, and 25 each is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest buy. Metallics makes other sizes and quantities of the HTB/JHTB/JSHTB tap bolts available by request if 5/8-11 x 2-1/2 is not the length you need.
6) Can I use a hex tap bolt with a nut and washers as a through bolt?
Yes. Because the JHTB71 is threaded the full 2-1/2 inches, it takes a 5/8-11 nut anywhere along the shank, so it works as a through bolt in drilled plate or channel as readily as in a tapped hole. Nuts and washers are not included with the jar, so order those separately.
