Metallics JHTBG69 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JHTBG69 hex tap bolt take, and will it run into a 5/8-11 nut or tapped hole?
It's a 5/8 inch diameter bolt with 11 threads per inch, so standard 5/8-11 UNC coarse nuts and tapped holes. Thread is cut to IFI-199 (2014). Being a tap bolt, it's threaded the full 2 inch length, so you can run it into a tapped hole or blind strut insert without worrying about grip length landing on a shank.
2) How strong is the Metallics JHTBG69 hex tap bolt, and is it a graded structural bolt?
Rated at 60,000 psi minimum tensile strength, with hardness of Rockwell B69 to B100. That's a general-purpose low-carbon strength level, suitable for equipment mounting, strut, and hanger work. If your drawing calls out a higher grade bolt for a structural connection, this is not that bolt.
3) Will a 2 inch long 5/8 bolt be long enough for my strut and bracket stack-up?
At 2 inches overall under the head, and threaded the full length as a tap bolt, you've got 2 inches of usable thread minus whatever nut or tapped depth you engage. Figure your total material thickness plus at least a full diameter of thread engagement. If the stack is thicker, ask for a longer length in the same HTB/JHTB series rather than stretching this one.
4) What size wrench or socket fits the head on this 5/8-11 galvanized hex tap bolt?
The hex head measures 0.906 to 0.938 inches across the flats, which is a 15/16 inch wrench or socket. Head height is 27/64 inch, so allow that much clearance above the surface plus room to swing a socket.
5) Is this galvanized hex bolt OK for outdoor or damp electrical work?
Yes. The bolt is steel with a galvanized finish, which is the normal choice for exterior strut, conduit racking, and damp locations where plain finish bolts would rust. For fully submerged or chemically aggressive service you'd want stainless instead.
6) How many bolts come in a jar of JHTBG69, and is there a minimum order?
The JHTBG69 is packed 25 bolts to a jar. Order minimum is 100 count. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
7) Does this Metallics hex tap bolt meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public project?
The JHTBG69 is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your contract requires documented origin per shipment, request the cert with the order.
8) What is the difference between a hex tap bolt and a regular hex cap screw at 5/8-11?
A tap bolt like the JHTBG69 is threaded right up to the head, so it works in tapped holes and short grips where you need thread engagement at every depth. A standard hex cap screw has a plain unthreaded shank under the head, which is what you want when you need shear across the joint line or a bearing-type connection. For strut, hangers, and bolting into threaded inserts, the full-thread tap bolt is the simpler pick.
9) Do nuts and washers come with the JHTBG69 bolts?
No. The jar contains hex tap bolts only. Order 5/8-11 hex nuts and 5/8 galvanized flat or lock washers separately, and match the galvanized finish so you don't set up dissimilar-metal corrosion outdoors.
