Metallics JBLS583SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is a stainless lag bolt worth it over hot-dip galvanized for exterior or coastal work?
For exposed exterior, damp, or coastal installs, yes. The 18-8 stainless JBLS583SS has superior corrosion resistance to galvanized steel bolts, which is the reason to pay for stainless on a facade, dock, canopy, or rooftop support where you don't want to be back in five years chasing rust streaks.
2) Do I need to pre-drill for a 5/8 inch stainless lag bolt?
Yes. It's a full-bodied lag with spaced threads and a gimlet point, so the point will start a hole but a 5/8 inch shank in wood needs a pilot hole or you'll snap it or split the member. Stainless is softer than hardened carbon steel (Rockwell B95 to C32), so driving it dry into a tight hole is how heads twist off. Pilot, and wax the threads.
3) Does the Metallics JBLS583SS meet a dimensional standard for submittals?
Dimensions conform to ASME B18.2.1-1996, the square and hex bolt and screw standard. That's the line to cite on a submittal when the spec calls for a standard hex lag. Note it is not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple, so it won't clear a domestic-content requirement on a federal job.
4) What is the tensile strength of the Metallics 18-8 stainless lag bolt?
Approximately 100,000 to 125,000 psi minimum tensile, with hardness in the Rockwell B95 to C32 range. That's typical 18-8 stainless territory, below a hardened Grade 5 or Grade 8 carbon bolt, so where an engineer has specified a graded carbon lag for a structural connection, stainless is a corrosion substitution and not a strength upgrade.
5) Do the Metallics stainless lag bolts come with washers?
The jar of 25 is bolts only. A lag of this size pulling into wood wants a flat washer under the head to spread the bearing load, so plan on ordering 18-8 stainless flat washers separately and match the stainless so you don't set up galvanic corrosion against the bolt.
6) Can I get the Metallics JBLS stainless lag bolt in a different length or diameter?
Yes. The BLS and JBLS series runs other sizes and pack quantities by request, so if 5/8 x 3 is short for your member thickness, the same stainless lag is available in other lengths. Specify diameter, length, and pack quantity when you ask.
