Metallics BJC12CB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need anything else besides the chain to hang a fixture with Metallics BJC12CB?
Yes. The BJC12CB is the chain only, no hooks, S-hooks, screw eyes, or ceiling anchors come with it. Plan on an attachment at both ends plus whatever ceiling anchor the deck requires, and run your fixture wire separately since jack chain carries no conductor.
2) Is the Metallics BJC12CB No. 12 jack chain sold by the foot or as a single piece?
The BJC12CB is sold as one piece of No. 12 jack chain, so one order quantity gets you one chain unit rather than a cut-to-length footage. If you are hanging several fixtures, order a piece per hanging point.
3) What is the finish on Metallics BJC12CB jack chain, and will it look right on exposed fixture hanging?
It is brass plated, which is the usual pick when the chain stays visible, suspended pendants, signage, or chandelier drops in a lobby or hospitality space. For concealed or utility hanging where appearance does not matter, a zinc or plain steel jack chain is the cheaper call.
4) What is No. 12 jack chain actually used for on an electrical job?
Jack chain is the light twisted-link chain electricians use to suspend lighting fixtures, hang signs and planters, and loosely support or bundle runs where no load rating is required. The No. 12 size is the common light-duty gauge for fixture drops. It is a hanging and retaining chain, not rigging, so do not use it for lifting or for anything where a person could be under the load.
5) Is brass plated jack chain OK for outdoor or damp locations?
Brass plating on the BJC12CB is a decorative plating over steel, so treat it as an interior, dry-location chain. Sustained outdoor exposure or a wet area will work through the plating and rust the base metal. For exterior canopies or wet locations, go with a stainless or hot-dip galvanized chain instead.
6) What is the exact manufacturer part number for Metallics No. 12 brass plated jack chain?
Metallics catalogues it as BJC12CB, No. 12 jack chain, brass plated, one piece. That is the number to quote on a purchase order or match against a submittal.
