Metallics JBHC98 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics JBHC98 hex bolts?
The JBHC98 is a 7/16-14 hex bolt, 3 inches long, with 14 threads per inch (UNC coarse). Threads are made to ASME B18.2.1-1996, so they mate with standard 7/16-14 nuts and tapped holes.
2) Are these Grade 2 or Grade 5 bolts?
Grade 2. The JBHC98 is a plain low-carbon steel hex bolt, not a Grade 5 or Grade 8. It is fine for general hanging, bracket and equipment mounting work, but if your drawing calls out Grade 5 or higher for a structural or high-torque connection, this is not the right bolt.
3) Do the Metallics JBHC98 bolts meet Buy American or ARRA requirements?
No. The JBHC98 hex bolt is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If you are buying for a federally funded or domestic-preference project, this bolt will not satisfy that clause and you will need a domestically sourced fastener instead.
4) Can these zinc plated bolts be used outdoors?
These are steel with a zinc plated finish, which is a mild indoor and protected-location coating. Zinc plating resists handling corrosion and damp indoor air, but it is not hot dip galvanizing and will rust in direct weather exposure or wet, chemically aggressive locations. For rooftop, exterior or washdown work, step up to a hot dip galvanized or stainless bolt in the same 7/16-14 x 3 size.
5) How many bolts come in a jar and can I buy less than a full jar?
The JBHC98 ships as a jar of 100 bolts, and the jar is the minimum order unit, so it is bought by the full jar rather than by the piece. Metallics also offers other sizes and quantities in this hex bolt line by request.
6) What size wrench and nut do I need for these bolts?
Pair them with standard 7/16-14 UNC nuts; the thread is cut to ASME B18.2.1-1996 so any off-the-shelf 7/16-14 nut or tapped hole will take it. The head is a standard hex, driven with a wrench or socket. Grip length is 3 inches overall, so allow for your material thickness plus nut and washer when checking you have enough thread engagement.
7) What trades actually use a 7/16-14 x 3 hex bolt like this?
Metallics lists this hex bolt for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work. In practice that means strut and channel connections, hanger and bracket mounting, equipment and panel anchoring, and general MRO fastening where a 7/16-14 coarse thread is specified. Hex head drives with a standard wrench or socket, no special tooling.
8) How much does a jar of 100 of these bolts weigh for shipping?
A jar of 100 of the 7/16-14 x 3 hex bolts weighs 12.75 lbs, with the packaged jar measuring 4.5 x 4.5 x 7.25 inches. Worth knowing if you are stocking a van or a job box by weight.
