  • Zinc-plated steel resists corrosion in outdoor use
  • 3/8"-16 coarse thread ensures secure fastening in wood or concrete
  • 3-3/4" length provides deep anchoring for heavy loads
  • J-bolt shape hooks over structural members for reliable hold
  • New condition guarantees full structural integrity from first use

What this item is

The MIDWEST FASTENER 52297 is a zinc plated steel J-bolt with a 3/8"-16 coarse thread and 3-3/4 inch length. It is designed for anchoring or fastening tasks that require a hook shaped bolt. The item is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.

When to choose this fastener

This J-bolt replaces a straight bolt when a hooked end is needed to catch, hang or secure a component. The coarse thread engages quickly in compatible nuts or tapped holes. The jump is worth it when the application specifically calls for a J shaped anchor rather than a standard hex head or stud.

Build fit and clearance

The bolt requires a mating 3/8"-16 nut or threaded insert and a clearance hole for the shank. Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance for indoor or sheltered outdoor use. It frees up the need for a separate hook and bolt assembly by combining both functions in one piece.

Highlights

  • 3/8"-16 coarse thread ensures secure fastening in wood or concrete
  • 3-3/4" length provides deep anchoring for heavy loads
  • J-bolt shape hooks over structural members for reliable hold
  • New condition guarantees full structural integrity from first use

Questions about this item

What size drill bit and clearance hole are needed for the 3/8"-16 thread on this J-bolt?

Drill a 3/8" clearance hole through the mounting surface so the shank passes freely before the threads engage the nut.

Which step is most often missed when securing this J-bolt in concrete?

Clean the hole of dust with a brush and compressed air before inserting the anchor or epoxy, otherwise the bond will fail.

When should the zinc-plated finish be inspected and the bolt replaced?

Inspect annually; replace the bolt once white rust appears or the coating is worn through to bare steel.
