Metallics JC8 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How much chain comes in a box of Metallics JC8 jack chain?
One box of the Metallics JC8 is a 100 foot coil of #8 jack chain, supplied as a single box quantity. If you are hanging a run of strip fixtures or chain-hung high bays, order by the number of 100 foot boxes you need rather than by the foot.
2) What is jack chain used for on an electrical job?
Jack chain like the Metallics JC8 is the light duty hanging chain electricians use to suspend fluorescent strips, shop lights, signs and small enclosures from an S-hook or screw eye in the deck. The links are open formed wire rather than welded, so you can twist one open with pliers to break the run at any length instead of cutting it. It is not a load rated lifting or rigging chain.
3) Can I use the Metallics JC8 chain to lift or rig equipment?
No. The JC8 is #8 jack chain, a light duty suspension chain with open formed links, and it is not rated for lifting, hoisting or overhead rigging. Use it only for hanging light fixtures, signage and similar light loads, and go to a proof coil or grade rated chain for anything structural or load bearing.
4) Is Metallics JC8 chain galvanized for damp or unheated areas?
The JC8 is galvanized steel, so it holds up in unheated warehouses, parking structures and other damp interior spaces better than bare steel. For continuous outdoor or washdown exposure, a stainless chain is the better call.
5) Do I need hooks or fasteners to hang fixtures with the JC8 chain?
Yes, those are separate. The JC8 box is chain only, 100 feet of it, with no S-hooks, screw eyes, beam clamps or connecting links included. Pick up the hooks and anchors to suit your deck or structure along with the chain.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 100 foot #8 jack chain?
Order it as Metallics JC8. That is the manufacturer part number for the 100 foot coil of #8 galvanized steel jack chain, boxed.
