Metallics JMHTB8401 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JMHTB8401 M8 x 40 bolt threaded all the way to the head?
Yes. The JMHTB8401 is a hex tap bolt, meaning the thread runs the full length of the shank right up to under the head, with a washer face beneath the head. That matters if you're clamping a thick stack or want thread engagement anywhere along the 40mm length rather than a plain shoulder section.
2) What thread pitch is the M8 Metallics hex tap bolt, and will it run into a standard M8 nut?
The pitch is 1.25mm, right hand thread, which is the standard coarse pitch for M8. Any standard M8 coarse nut or tapped M8 hole will take it. If your hole is M8 x 1.0 fine pitch, this is the wrong bolt.
3) What does Class 10.9 mean on this Metallics bolt, and when do I need it instead of 8.8?
Class 10.9 is a heat-treated high alloy steel grade rated at 150,800 psi minimum tensile and 136,300 psi minimum yield, with a hardness of Rockwell C32-39. You step up to 10.9 where a Class 8.8 fastener does not give you enough tensile capacity, typical of automotive and fleet work and heavier equipment mounting. For general bracket and strut work an 8.8 is usually sufficient.
4) Can I use the Metallics JMHTB8401 on a federally funded or Buy American job?
No. This bolt is not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your contract carries domestic sourcing requirements, you'll need a domestically produced fastener instead.
5) How many bolts come in a jar of the Metallics JMHTB8401?
It ships as a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 is the order minimum. The jar weighs 1846 g, so figure roughly 18 grams per bolt if you're estimating freight on multiple jars.
6) Is the zinc finish on this Metallics hex tap bolt suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
The bolt is steel with a zinc finish. Zinc plating handles indoor and sheltered mechanical, electrical, plumbing and HVAC work, which is the application range Metallics lists for it. For sustained outdoor exposure, washdown, or coastal conditions, go to hot-dip galvanized or stainless instead; plated zinc on an alloy steel bolt will corrode.
7) What wrench or socket size fits the head of the M8 Class 10.9 hex tap bolt?
It's a standard hex head on an M8 metric bolt, so a 13mm socket or wrench is the size to reach for. Metallics lists the head width at 12.73 to 13 and head height at 5.15 to 5.45.
8) What is the actual shank diameter and grip length of the M8 x 40 tap bolt?
Nominal M8, with the thread outside diameter running 7.78 to 8. Length under the head is 40mm, all of it threaded, so your usable grip is whatever your material stack plus nut and washer consume out of that 40mm.
9) Does Metallics make this hex tap bolt in other lengths or pack sizes?
Yes, the MHTB and JMHTB series covers other sizes and quantities by request. The JMHTB8401 specifically is the M8 x 40 in a 100-piece jar; the MHTB prefix covers the same bolt in alternate packaging.
