Metallics JFM41 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 10-24 machine screw thread into a standard electrical box or device ring?
Yes. The Metallics JFM41 is a 10-24 UNC machine screw, 24 threads per inch, cut to ANSI/ASME B1.1. That is the thread used for device and cover screws in steel outlet boxes, plaster rings and switch plates, so it mates with standard 10-24 tapped holes. At 5/8 in. long it suits a box ear or ring where a longer screw would bottom out.
2) Does a flat head machine screw sit flush, and what countersink does it need?
The flat head seats flush in a countersunk or chamfered hole. Head width runs 0.333 to 0.362 in. and head height 0.098 to 0.116 in., dimensioned to ASME B18.6.3-1998, so an 82 degree countersink sized for a #10 flat head takes it level with the surface. If your plate or ring has a straight unchamfered hole, use a pan or round head instead, since a flat head will stand proud.
3) Are zinc plated steel machine screws OK outdoors or in a damp location?
Zinc plated carbon steel is a dry-location finish. The JFM41 is steel with a zinc plating over AISI 1006 to 1022 wire, which handles indoor panel, box and fixture work fine but will corrode in wet, washdown or coastal exposure. For outdoor enclosures, damp locations or chemical exposure, specify a stainless machine screw in the same 10-24 x 5/8 size instead.
4) Will a 10-24 screw work in a hole tapped 10-32?
No. The JFM41 is 10-24 UNC, 24 threads per inch. A 10-32 tapped hole is a finer pitch and the two do not interchange, even though the #10 major diameter is the same. Forcing a 10-24 into a 10-32 hole strips the threads. Count the threads or match the screw you pulled out before ordering.
5) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JFM41, and can I buy fewer?
They ship 100 to a jar, and 100 count is the order minimum, so a jar is the smallest buy. Keep that in mind for a single-fixture repair; it is a stocking quantity for a truck or shop bin rather than a one-off.
6) What screwdriver do I need for these, and will a power driver work?
Slotted drive only, no Phillips or combo recess. The slot is 0.05 to 0.06 in. wide and 0.034 to 0.053 in. deep, which calls for a properly ground flat blade tip. Slotted heads cam out easily under a drill, so hand drive these or run a slow impact-free driver with firm down pressure.
7) Do these machine screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
Metallics lists the JFM41 as both ARRA and Buy American compliant, with China as the country of origin. If your contract requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than compliance by trade-agreement status, verify the clause language in your spec before submitting these.
8) What is the shipping weight of a jar of JFM41 screws?
The jar comes in at 0.56 lbs, with the package measuring 3 in. by 3 in. by 2.15 in. Easy to carry a few sizes on the van without eating bin space.
