Metallics JBHC96 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics JBHC96 hex bolts?
The JBHC96 is a 7/16-14 hex bolt, 2 inches long under the head, with 14 threads per inch (UNC coarse). Threads are made to ASME B18.2.1-1996, so they take standard 7/16-14 hex nuts and couplings. Use a 5/8 inch wrench or socket on the hex head.
2) Can these zinc plated steel bolts be used outdoors or in a wet location?
The JBHC96 is zinc plated steel, which is a mild corrosion barrier meant for dry interior and protected work, not for sustained weather exposure, buried use, or wash-down areas. For exposed exterior strut, rooftop runs, or damp mechanical rooms, step up to a hot dip galvanized or stainless hex bolt in 7/16-14 x 2.
3) Is a Grade 2 hex bolt strong enough for hanging electrical and HVAC supports?
Grade 2 is a low carbon steel fastener grade, which is what the JBHC96 carries. It is the common choice for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work: strut connections, hanger assemblies, box and panel mounting, equipment bracketry. If a drawing calls out Grade 5 or Grade 8 for a structural or high-torque connection, this bolt does not meet that spec and you need the higher grade.
4) Do Metallics JBHC96 hex bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a government job?
No. The JBHC96 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. On a federally funded or domestic-content job, this jar will not satisfy the requirement, so source a domestic Grade 2 hex bolt instead.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of Metallics JBHC96, and can I buy fewer?
The JBHC96 ships as a jar of 100 bolts, and the jar is the order minimum, so 100 pieces is the smallest quantity. The jar packaging is what service vans and shop benches want for loose hardware. Other sizes and quantities of this hex bolt are available by request.
6) Do nuts and washers come with these 7/16-14 hex bolts?
No. The JBHC96 jar contains hex bolts only, 100 pieces. Order 7/16-14 hex nuts and 7/16 flat or lock washers separately to complete the assembly.
7) What total grip length will a 2 inch hex bolt handle?
At 2 inches of length under the head, the JBHC96 covers combined material plus nut and washers up to about that figure, so it suits typical strut-and-bracket stacks and double channel connections. For thicker built-up assemblies, step to a longer 7/16-14 bolt; other lengths in this hex bolt series are available by request.
8) How much does a jar of 100 Metallics 7/16-14 x 2 hex bolts weigh and how big is the jar?
A full jar runs 9.06 lbs, with jar dimensions of 7.25 x 4.5 x 4.5 inches. Worth knowing if you are loading a van bin or a shop shelf with several jars of fasteners.
9) What is the difference between the Metallics BHC and JBHC hex bolt part numbers?
Both belong to the Metallics BHC and JBHC hex bolt series. The J prefix on JBHC96 denotes the jar pack, so JBHC96 is the jar of 100 of the 7/16-14 x 2 zinc plated steel hex bolt. If you are ordering by part number for a distributor stock line, specify JBHC96 for jar packaging.
