Metallics JBLS58G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and length is the Metallics JBLS58G lag bolt, and how many come in a jar?
The JBLS58G is a 5/8 inch diameter hex head lag bolt, 3 inches long, galvanized steel, packed 25 to a jar. Order minimum is 25 count, so the jar is the base unit.
2) Can I use these galvanized lag bolts outdoors or in a wet, corrosive location?
Yes. The galvanized finish on the 5/8 x 3 Metallics lag bolt is specified for use in corrosive environments, which covers exterior mounting, damp utility rooms, and coastal or chemically aggressive sites. Plain zinc-plated lags are the indoor-only alternative.
3) Will these Metallics lag bolts meet a Buy American requirement on a federal job?
The JBLS58G is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American. Country of origin is listed as China, so if your specification requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than the compliance flag, verify against your contract language.
4) Do I need to drill a pilot hole for a 5/8 inch lag bolt, or will it start on its own?
The JBLS58G has a gimlet point and spaced threads, so it starts in a pilot hole without a nut or insert. A gimlet point helps it bite, but at 5/8 inch diameter in wood you still pre-drill a pilot hole and drive it with a wrench or socket on the hex head, not a screw gun.
5) What strength and material standard do these 5/8 inch lag bolts hold to?
Steel per AISI 1006 to 1022, with a 60,000 psi minimum tensile strength and hardness of Rockwell B70 to B100. Head and thread dimensions follow ASME B18.2.1-1996, so they interchange with any standard hex lag of the same 5/8 x 3 size.
6) Is a lag bolt the right choice here, or do I need a through-bolt with a nut?
A lag bolt threads directly into wood or a lead/plastic anchor and needs access from one side only, which is why it is the usual pick for hanging strut, conduit racks, and panel backing to studs or blocking. If you can reach both sides of the member and need a removable, higher-capacity connection, use a hex cap screw with a nut and washer instead. The JBLS58G is the full-bodied lag version, hex head with a gimlet point.
7) I need a different length or a larger count of the same galvanized lag bolt. Is that an option?
The Metallics BLS and JBLS series covers other lengths and pack quantities beyond the 5/8 x 3 jar of 25, available by request. BLS is the series designation for the bulk-pack side, JBLS for the jar pack.
