Metallics JFWP42SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many Metallics JFWP42SS wood screws come in a jar, and can I buy just a few?
The JFWP42SS ships in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum. There is no loose or small-count break on it, so plan on a full jar per order.
2) Will a #12 x 2 in. stainless wood screw hold up outdoors or in a wet location?
These are 18-8 stainless, which is the austenitic grade used where plain or zinc-plated screws would rust, so exterior trim, damp mechanical rooms and coastal-adjacent work are normal uses. Stainless wood screws are supplied bare, with no plating or coating over them.
3) Can I use the Metallics JFWP42SS on a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. The JFWP42SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. For federally funded work carrying those clauses you will need a domestically sourced fastener instead.
4) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JFWP42SS flat head wood screw?
A #3 Phillips bit. The recess runs 0.270 to 0.283 inch in diameter and 0.148 to 0.171 inch deep, so a #2 bit will sit shallow and cam out, especially driving a 2 inch screw into hardwood.
5) Is the #12 x 2 in. Metallics screw threaded all the way to the head?
No. It carries thread over roughly two thirds of its length on a 2 inch screw, leaving a smooth shank under the head. That unthreaded shank is what lets the screw pull two pieces of wood tight instead of jacking them apart, so drill the top piece as a clearance hole.
6) Do these Metallics wood screws meet a recognized dimensional standard for submittals?
They are built to ASME B18.6.1, with the thread dimensions to ASME B18.6.1-1997. That is the wood screw standard a spec or submittal package will usually call out for head, recess and thread geometry.
7) What thread pitch and point does this wood screw have for pilot hole sizing?
Eleven threads per inch with a tapered gimlet point. The taper lets it start in softwood without a pilot, but in hardwood or near an edge, pre-drill the shank clearance and a smaller pilot for the threaded portion to avoid splitting.
8) Are these stainless screws suitable for mounting electrical boxes and strut backing to wood?
That is the intended use. Metallics lists the JFWP series for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, and a #12 x 2 in. flat head stainless screw is a common choice for fastening device boxes, straps and backing to wood studs or blocking.
9) How much does a jar of 100 of these #12 x 2 in. stainless screws weigh?
A jar runs 1.45 lbs, with the container measuring 3 x 3 x 3.6 inches. Useful if you are kitting out a van or figuring shelf space in a stockroom.
