Metallics JFW140 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to pre-drill for a #12 x 1-1/2 in. slotted wood screw?
It is a tapered point screw with 11 threads per inch, so it draws itself into softwood but has no self-drilling tip. In hardwood, oak trim, or near an edge, drill a pilot and countersink first to avoid splitting. Thread runs about two-thirds of the length on screws of this size.
2) How many Metallics JFW140 screws come in a jar, and can I buy just a few?
The JFW140 ships in a jar with a 100-count minimum order. It is not sold in handfuls, so plan on 100 pieces per order.
3) Are these #12 wood screws zinc plated enough for damp or exterior work?
The JFW140 is steel with a zinc finish. Zinc plating handles indoor and protected work and slows surface rust, but it is a plated carbon steel screw, not stainless or hot-dip galvanized, so for sustained exterior exposure or treated lumber contact a stainless or hot-dip fastener is the better call.
4) What size screwdriver or bit fits the Metallics JFW140 slot?
Slotted drive only, no Phillips or square recess. The slot measures 0.056 to 0.067 in. wide and 0.039 to 0.06 in. deep, so a flat blade tip in that thickness range with a blade width near the 0.389 to 0.438 in. head diameter will seat fully without camming out. Driving these with a power driver is tough; most installers do them by hand.
5) Do Metallics JFW140 screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a public project?
The JFW140 is flagged Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant in the manufacturer data, with China given as the country of origin. On a federally funded job, submit those compliance flags with your material list and let the specifying authority confirm against the project's exact domestic-content clause.
6) What standard do these Metallics wood screws conform to?
Threads and head dimensions follow ASME B18.6.1-1997, the wood screw standard. That means the #12 diameter, 11 threads per inch, head height and head diameter are all to published dimensions, so the screw interchanges with any other B18.6.1 #12 x 1-1/2 in. flat head slotted screw on a submittal.
7) Why would an electrician stock slotted #12 wood screws instead of Phillips?
Slotted heads are still specified for a lot of electrical work: mounting boxes, straps, and devices to wood studs where existing hardware is slotted and the job calls for a match. The JFW140 is catalogued for electrical use, and the slotted drive lets one flat blade on a lineman's screwdriver handle both the device terminals and the mounting screws.
8) Can I get the Metallics JFW screws in other lengths or counts?
Yes. The JFW series covers other diameters, lengths, and pack quantities beyond the JFW140 #12 x 1-1/2 in. jar of 100, available by request.
9) How much does a jar of 100 JFW140 screws weigh for shipping or stocking?
A jar of 100 runs 1.29 lbs, with jar dimensions of 3 x 2.7 x 3 in. Light enough to keep several sizes on the truck without eating payload.
