Metallics JFWP43 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are the Metallics JFWP43 screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JFWP43 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this screw will not satisfy it.
2) Is the Metallics JFWP43 a real wood screw or a sheet metal screw?
A true wood screw. It has a tapered point and 11 threads per inch, with the thread running about two thirds of the length on nominal lengths over an inch, so the unthreaded shank under the head lets the top piece draw tight against the bottom one. Sheet metal screws thread the full length and will not clamp a lap joint the same way.
3) Can I use these zinc plated screws outdoors or in a damp location?
Keep them dry. The JFWP43 is steel with a zinc plated finish, which handles indoor humidity and incidental moisture but is not a weather or pressure-treated-lumber finish. For exterior framing, decks, or treated lumber, go to a stainless or coated exterior screw instead.
4) How are the Metallics JFWP43 screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum. The jar weighs 1.74 lbs. Handy for an electrical or mechanical truck stock where you want a countable quantity rather than a bulk box.
5) Do these wood screws meet a recognized dimensional spec for a submittal?
Yes. The JFWP43 is built to ASME B18.6.1, with threads per ASME B18.6.1-1997. That covers head dimensions, recess geometry, and thread form, so the head width of 0.389 to 0.438 inch and the 11 threads per inch are standard values you can hold a submittal to.
6) What are #12 x 2-1/2 inch flat head wood screws typically used for on an electrical or mechanical job?
They are a mounting screw for fastening into wood framing and blocking, and Metallics lists the application as the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. Typical use is anchoring strut, boxes, panel backing, or equipment brackets to studs where a #12 shank and 2-1/2 inches of length get through the mounting plate and well into solid lumber.
7) Do I need to pre-drill for a #12 x 2-1/2 inch wood screw?
In hardwood or near an edge, yes. A #12 shank is heavy enough to split dense stock, and the tapered point on the JFWP43 pulls aggressively, so a pilot plus a countersink for the flat head is the right prep. In soft framing lumber away from edges most crews drive it straight with a #3 Phillips bit.
