Metallics G5HTB63 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics G5HTB63 hex tap bolt threaded all the way to the head?
Yes. A tap bolt is fully threaded, which is what separates it from a standard hex cap screw with a grip length. The G5HTB63 is 5/8-11 by 2 inches long, so you get usable thread the entire 2 inches. That makes it the right choice when you are threading into a tapped hole of unknown depth or clamping a variable stack.
2) Is a Grade 5 zinc bolt strong enough to mount a motor to a machine base?
Grade 5 is the common medium carbon, heat treated structural grade and it is what the G5HTB63 is made for, including motor mounting and automotive or truck repair work. It carries 105,000 psi minimum tensile and 105,000 psi minimum yield, with hardness at Rockwell C19-30. For higher clamp loads you would step up to Grade 8.
3) Do these 5/8-11 bolts have coarse or fine thread, and will they match my existing nuts?
Coarse. 11 threads per inch is the standard UNC pitch for 5/8 inch diameter, right hand, built to ASME B18.2.1-2012. They thread into any 5/8-11 nut or tapped hole. They will not engage 5/8-18 fine thread hardware.
4) Will a zinc plated steel tap bolt hold up outdoors or in a wet location?
Zinc plating over steel is a mild corrosion barrier, fine for indoor equipment mounting, covered mechanical rooms and dry electrical work. In standing water, coastal air or washdown areas the plating gives up and the steel rusts. For those openings use 18-8 stainless hex tap bolts in the same 5/8-11 thread instead.
5) How many bolts come in a box of Metallics G5HTB63, and can I buy fewer?
They ship as a box of 50, and 50 count is the order minimum, so it is a full box per order. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
6) Do Metallics G5HTB63 hex tap bolts qualify for a Buy American or ARRA job?
The record flags the G5HTB63 as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, with country of origin China. On federally funded work where the specification demands domestic melt and manufacture rather than compliance by exception, have your specifying authority confirm the flag against the clause in your contract.
7) What hole size do I need to drill for a 5/8-11 hex tap bolt to pass through?
The bolt body runs 0.4930 to 0.5000 inch outside diameter with thread crests across 0.840 to 0.866 inch overall width, so a 11/16 inch clearance hole gives normal fit for a 5/8 inch bolt. For a tapped hole instead of a through hole, tap it 5/8-11 UNC.
8) What steel are Metallics Grade 5 tap bolts made from?
Medium carbon steel in the AISI 1008 to 1026 range, heat treated to reach Grade 5 properties, then zinc plated. That is a cap screw style fastener, not a mild unhardened bolt.
9) How much does a box of 50 of these 5/8-11 x 2 bolts weigh for shipping?
The boxed weight is listed at 11.08 lbs for the 50 count box of G5HTB63. Worth knowing if you are staging several boxes onto a service truck or a lift.
