Metallics JMHTB812 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the M8 x 12 Metallics tap bolt threaded all the way to the head?
Yes. The JMHTB812 is a tap bolt, so the thread runs the full length of the 12mm shank right up to underneath the hex head, and the head has a washer face beneath it. With a bolt this short that matters: there is no unthreaded grip, so it can bottom into a tapped hole or take a nut anywhere along its length.
2) What thread does the M8 Metallics hex tap bolt take, and will a standard M8 nut fit it?
It is an M8 with a 1.25 mm thread pitch, right hand, which is the standard coarse metric pitch for M8. Any standard coarse M8 nut or M8 x 1.25 tapped hole will accept it. Fine pitch M8 x 1.0 threads will not.
3) Are Metallics JMHTB812 tap bolts Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JMHTB812 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant; country of origin is listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic sourcing requirement, this is not the fastener to specify.
4) How strong is a Class 8.8 hex tap bolt compared with a plain unhardened bolt?
The JMHTB812 is a Class 8.8 bolt in medium carbon steel, heat treated, with a yield strength of 92,800 psi minimum and a hardness of Rockwell C22-32. That is a structural-duty fastener rather than a plain low-carbon bolt, which is why it gets used for motor mounting and vehicle repair where the joint is loaded and vibrating.
5) How many M8 x 12 tap bolts come in a jar, and can I buy fewer?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 in a jar is the order minimum, so that is the smallest quantity. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities in the MHTB and JMHTB tap bolt series by request.
6) Is a zinc plated steel tap bolt good enough for outdoor or damp mechanical room use?
The finish is zinc over steel, which handles indoor and sheltered mechanical room conditions well and resists handling corrosion. It is not stainless, so for direct weather exposure, wet roof curbs, or washdown areas you want a stainless or hot dip galvanized fastener instead.
7) What are M8 x 12 hex tap bolts typically used for on a mechanical job?
The common use is bolting motors to machinery, and they are also widely used in automotive and truck repair. Metallics lists them for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work, so they cover equipment mounting, pump and blower feet, and panel or bracket fastening where the hole is tapped metric.
8) How much does a jar of 100 M8 x 12 tap bolts weigh?
A full jar comes in at 1016 g, a little over two pounds, which is useful if you are packing a service van or batching hardware for multiple install kits.
