Metallics JBHC71 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JBHC71 hex bolt take, and will a standard 5/8 nut thread onto it?
The JBHC71 is a 5/8-11 hex bolt, so 11 threads per inch, which is standard coarse for 5/8 diameter. Any 5/8-11 UNC nut or tapped hole will take it. Thread is made to ASME B18.2.1-1996. Measured shank outside diameter runs 0.605 to 0.642 inch.
2) Is a Grade 2 zinc plated bolt strong enough for hanging strut and pipe supports?
The JBHC71 is a Grade 2 steel bolt with zinc plating, which is the usual low-carbon fastener grade for general electrical, plumbing, and HVAC support work, exactly the field application Metallics lists for it. Grade 2 is not a high-strength fastener, so for structural connections or anything engineered to a specified bolt strength you need Grade 5 or Grade 8 instead.
3) Can I use these Metallics bolts on a federally funded Buy American project?
No. The JBHC71 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. For a job with domestic sourcing requirements you need a fastener specifically certified as domestic.
4) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC71, and can I buy fewer?
The JBHC71 ships as a jar of 50 bolts, and 50 each is the order minimum, so it is sold by the full jar rather than loose count. Metallics makes other sizes and quantities in the BHC and JBHC line available by request.
5) Is a 2-1/2 inch long bolt enough grip for my connection?
At 2-1/2 inches overall length under the head, the JBHC71 covers assemblies up to roughly 2 inches of combined material thickness once you allow for a nut and washer. Stack up your actual material, washers, and nut height first; if the total exceeds that, move to a longer length in the same BHC and JBHC series rather than running the nut off the end of the thread.
6) Will zinc plated bolts hold up outdoors or in a wet mechanical room?
Zinc plating on steel gives moderate corrosion protection, fine for indoor and damp interior locations like mechanical and electrical rooms. For direct weather exposure, buried work, or corrosive environments, step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless; plated zinc wears through faster than those.
7) How much does a 50 count jar of 5/8-11 x 2-1/2 hex bolts weigh for shipping or carrying up a ladder?
A jar of 50 comes in at 13.3 lbs, with the packaged jar measuring 7.25 inches by 4.5 by 4.5. Worth knowing if you are staging several jars on a lift or in a gang box.
