Metallics BTJ1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the Metallics BTJ1 J-bolt, and what nut do I need with it?
The BTJ1 is a 1/4-20 thread, so it takes a standard 1/4-20 nut. Overall it's a 2-5/16 inch J-bolt in zinc-plated steel. Nuts and washers aren't part of the bag, so add them to the order if you don't have 1/4-20 hardware on the truck.
2) How many J-bolts come in a Metallics BTJ1 pack?
Ten bolts per bag. It's a bagged pack, so for a job hanging a long run of strut or conduit, work out your hanger count and order in multiples of ten.
3) Can I use the BTJ1 J-bolt with steel channel or beam flange hangers?
That's the normal use for a J-bolt like this one: the hooked end wraps the flange, rod, or channel lip and the 1/4-20 threaded leg takes a nut to clamp it. With a 2-5/16 inch overall length the hook and thread together are short, so it suits thin flanges and light-duty conduit or box support, not a thick structural flange.
4) Is the Metallics BTJ1 J-bolt okay for damp or outdoor electrical work?
It's zinc-plated steel, which handles indoor and dry locations and gives modest corrosion resistance in occasionally damp areas. For sustained exterior exposure, wash-down, or coastal work, specify a stainless or hot-dip galvanized J-bolt instead, since plated zinc on a 1/4-20 thread will eventually rust at the cut threads.
5) Will the Metallics BTJ1 come with a Phillips head or hex head?
Neither. A J-bolt has no driver head at all: one end is a bent J hook, the other is a 1/4-20 thread you tighten a nut onto. If you need a headed fastener you drive from one side, order a machine screw or hex bolt, not the BTJ1.
6) What is the Metallics part number I should quote for this 1/4-20 J-bolt?
Order it as Metallics BTJ1. That one part number covers the 1/4-20 x 2-5/16 zinc-plated J-bolt in a bag of 10, with no length or finish options to pick.
