Metallics FWP43V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a #12 x 2-1/2 inch flat head wood screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
Yes, if the hole is countersunk. The Metallics FWP43V has a flat head measuring 0.389 to 0.438 inch across with a 0.132 inch head height, so it needs a matching countersink or it will stand proud. In softwood the head will pull itself in; in hardwood or through a metal strap or bracket, drill a countersink to that head diameter.
2) Can I use the Metallics FWP43V on a federally funded or Buy American job?
No. The FWP43V is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. On a job carrying domestic sourcing requirements you will need a fastener certified to that requirement instead.
3) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics FWP43V #12 wood screw?
A #3 Phillips bit. The FWP43V uses a Phillips recess sized 0.270 to 0.283 inch in diameter with a 0.148 to 0.171 inch recess depth, which is the standard recess for a #12 screw. A #2 bit will seat loosely in that recess and strip the cross under torque, so keep a #3 on the driver for these.
4) Is this wood screw fully threaded, or only partly?
Partly. The FWP43V is a tapered point wood screw with thread running about two thirds of the length, which at 2-1/2 inches leaves an unthreaded shank under the head. That is what you want for pulling two pieces of wood tight: the shank passes through the top piece and the threads grab only the bottom one.
5) Do I need a pilot hole for a #12 x 2-1/2 inch tapered point wood screw?
In hardwood, yes. These are tapered point wood screws at 11 threads per inch, not self-drilling screws, and a #12 shank in oak or maple will split the stock without a pilot. In pine, plywood, or framing lumber you can usually drive them dry. Through a metal plate, pre-drill the metal to clear the shank.
6) Are Metallics zinc wood screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
Treat them as interior or dry-location fasteners. The FWP43V is steel with a zinc finish, which handles indoor humidity but is not a coating made for sustained exterior exposure, pressure treated lumber, or wet conditions. For a deck, exterior strapping, or treated wood, specify a hot dip galvanized or stainless screw instead.
7) How does the FWP43V ship, and what is the minimum I can buy?
It ships as a box of 500 pieces, and 500 each is the order minimum. There is no small blister pack or loose count on this one, so it suits a stocked job box or MRO shelf rather than a one off repair.
8) Does this screw meet a recognized dimensional spec for submittals?
It is made to ASME B18.6.1, with thread dimensions to ASME B18.6.1-1997. If your submittal or spec section calls for wood screws conforming to ASME B18.6.1, the Metallics FWP43V answers that line directly.
