Metallics JFMP49SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does a flat head machine screw sit flush, and what countersink does it need?
Flat head, so it seats flush in a countersunk or dimpled hole. Head width runs 0.333 to 0.362 inch and head height 0.098 to 0.116 inch, dimensioned to ASME B18.6.3-1998. If your plate or box has a flat, undimpled hole, the head will stand proud by roughly the head height, and you want a pan or round head instead.
2) Can I use the Metallics JFMP49SS on a federally funded or Buy American job?
No. Model JFMP49SS is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. If your spec carries a domestic sourcing requirement, you need a different fastener.
3) What size Phillips driver do these Metallics 10-32 screws take?
A #2 Phillips. The recess measures 0.198 inch diameter and 0.124 inch deep, which is what a #2 bit is sized for. Using a #1 will cam out and chew the recess, especially in stainless.
4) Are 18-8 stainless machine screws the right choice for outdoor or washdown areas?
18-8 stainless is specified for general atmospheric corrosion resistance, which is why it is used in food processing machinery and refrigeration equipment. For damp locations, coastal exposure or frequent washdown, it holds up far better than plated steel. It also keeps strength better than steel at elevated operating temperatures.
5) How strong are these stainless screws, and can I torque them like a Grade 5 steel screw?
Rated at 1200 lb minimum tensile with a hardness of Rockwell B85 to B95, to SAE material standard. Treat those numbers as a guide: there is no national performance standard for stainless machine screws, so they are not graded the way steel fasteners are. Stainless also galls under heavy torque, so run them down steadily rather than impacting them home.
6) Is 1/2 inch long enough, or do I need a longer 10-32 screw?
At 1/2 inch of length under the head, these suit thin sheet metal, device yokes, cover plates and strap mounting where you only need a few threads of engagement. Stack up anything thicker, such as mounting through a spacer or a thick enclosure flange, and you will run out of thread. Other lengths in the FM and FMP series are available by request.
7) How are these Metallics machine screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, which is the order minimum. Jar weight is 0.44 lbs. Handy for a van stock item rather than a loose count at the counter.
8) What trades normally stock this screw?
It is a general-purpose fastener for the electrical, plumbing, and heating and air conditioning trades. Electricians use 10-32 flat heads for device and cover work; mechanical contractors use them on panels and equipment covers where a flush head matters.
