Metallics JHTB73 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch is the Metallics JHTB73 hex tap bolt?
The JHTB73 is a 5/8-11 bolt, 3 inches long, with 11 threads per inch and a right-hand thread cut to IFI-199 (2014). So it mates with any standard 5/8-11 UNC nut or tapped hole.
2) How strong is the Metallics JHTB73 bolt, and is it rated for structural work?
Minimum tensile strength is 60,000 psi with hardness of Rockwell B69-B100. That puts it in the low-carbon, general-purpose class, fine for hanging electrical, plumbing, and HVAC equipment, which is what it is specified for. It is not a high-strength structural bolt, so if your drawing calls for a grade with a higher tensile value, specify that instead.
3) Do these Metallics hex tap bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The JHTB73 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this part will not satisfy it.
4) What is the difference between a hex tap bolt and a regular hex bolt with a partial thread?
A hex tap bolt is threaded the full length of the shank instead of having a plain grip section. That is why the JHTB73 is listed for complete thread engagement applications: when you are running into a tapped hole, a strut nut, or a channel insert, you want thread all the way to the head so engagement depth is not limited by an unthreaded shoulder. If you need a shear plane through a plain shank in a bolted joint, a partially threaded hex bolt is the better choice.
5) Will a 5/8 inch hex tap bolt fit my standard 15/16 wrench or socket?
Yes. Head width across flats on the JHTB73 measures 0.906 to 0.938 inches, which is the 15/16 inch hex a 5/8-11 bolt normally takes. Head height is 27/64 inch, so it sits low enough to clear most strut and channel work.
6) Is the zinc finish on these bolts OK for outdoor or damp locations?
These are steel bolts with a zinc finish. Zinc plating handles indoor and sheltered work well, but in wet, coastal, or washdown areas it will corrode over time. For those openings use the stainless version of the same hex tap bolt line (the Metallics 18-8 stainless hex tap bolts, JSHTB prefix) rather than the zinc-plated steel.
7) I need a different length or a bigger quantity of 5/8-11 hex tap bolts. Can I get it?
Yes. The JHTB73 covers 5/8-11 x 3 inch in a 25-piece jar, and other sizes and quantities in the same hex tap bolt line (HTB, JHTB, and JSHTB) are available by request, including the 18-8 stainless versions under the JSHTB prefix.
8) What part number do I order for the 5/8-11 x 3 zinc hex tap bolt jar?
Metallics part number JHTB73. That is the 5/8-11 x 3 inch hex tap bolt, zinc-plated steel, 25 per jar.
9) How are these 5/8-11 x 3 hex tap bolts packaged, and what is the minimum I can order?
They come in a jar of 25 pieces, and 25 each is the order minimum. Shipping weight on the jar is 3316 g.
