Metallics BSC14112M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics BSC14112M button head cap screw sold individually or only by the box?
The BSC14112M ships as a box of 1,000 pieces, with a 1,000-piece order minimum. If you only need a handful for a single bracket, this is not the right line item; it is a bulk box for shops doing repeat work in 1/4-20.
2) Will a button head cap screw sit low enough to clear a moving part or a flush panel?
Head height on the 1/4-20 BSC button head is 0.122 to 0.132 in. above the surface, with a head diameter of 0.419 to 0.437 in. That is a low, broad dome, so it clears tight sliding covers that a standard socket head cap screw would foul. If you need the head completely below the surface, use a flat head socket cap screw in a countersunk hole instead; a button head does not counterbore flush.
3) What thread will these screws mate with, and will they thread into a standard 1/4-20 tapped hole?
Threads are 1/4-20 UN, 20 threads per inch, made to ANSI/ASME B1.1. They will run into any standard 1/4-20 tapped hole or 1/4-20 nut. Overall screw dimensions follow ASME B18.3-2012, the socket cap screw standard, so grip and head sizes match what a drawing calling out a B18.3 button head expects.
4) Do these Metallics cap screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The BSC14112M 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 part will not qualify on the submittal.
5) What size hex key do I need for these 1/4-20 socket button head screws, and how deep is the socket?
Drive is an internal hex (Allen), not a slot or Torx, with a socket depth of 0.087 in. Keep a full-length key or bit in the socket, because button heads have a shallow pocket (head height runs 0.122 to 0.132 in.) and a worn key will cam out before you reach torque.
6) Is the black finish on these screws corrosion protection, or do they need plating for outdoor use?
The material is alloy steel with a black finish and the screws are supplied plain, meaning no plated or coated corrosion protection. Keep them indoors or in dry enclosures. For wet, exterior or washdown locations, move to a stainless or zinc-plated 1/4-20 cap screw.
7) Can I get this BSC button head screw in a different length or diameter than 1/4-20 x 1-1/2 in.?
Yes. The BSC series covers other sizes and quantities by request beyond the 1/4-20 x 1-1/2 in. configuration. Note that on screws over 1 in. diameter the BSC threads are Class 2A rather than Class 3A, and screws must be at least three diameters long to be subject to tensile testing.
