Metallics JFMP102SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JFMP102SS machine screw take, and will it thread into a 1/4-20 tapped hole?
It is a 1/4-20 UNC screw, 20 threads per inch, cut to ANSI/ASME B1.1. So yes, it threads into any 1/4-20 tapped hole or standard 1/4-20 nut. Overall length is 1-1/4 inches, so your total grip plus nut engagement has to fit inside that.
2) Will the flat head sit flush in a countersunk hole, and what countersink size do I need?
Yes, it is a flat countersunk head meant to finish flush with the surface. Head width runs 0.442 to 0.477 in. and head height 0.131 to 0.153 in., so the countersink needs to be at least 0.477 in. across at the top with matching depth. Dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-1998, the standard flat head machine screw geometry, so a standard 1/4 in. 82 degree countersink works.
3) What size Phillips driver do I need for these 1/4-20 stainless flat head screws?
A #3 Phillips. The recess is 0.276 in. diameter, 0.16 in. deep and 0.036 in. wide, so a #2 bit will cam out and chew the recess, especially in stainless where you are driving against higher torque.
4) Are 18-8 stainless machine screws good for outdoor or wash-down use?
18-8 stainless is the material here, and it is specified for general atmospheric corrosion resistance, food processing machinery and refrigeration equipment. That covers outdoor exposure and wash-down duty. It also holds its strength better than plain steel as application temperature rises. For salt spray or marine immersion, 316 is the usual step up.
5) Is a machine screw the right choice, or should I be using a self-tapping screw?
A machine screw like the 1/4-20 FMP has a uniform straight thread with no point, so it needs a pre-tapped hole or a nut. If you are driving into unthreaded sheet metal or a blind hole with no tap, you want a self-tapping or thread-cutting screw instead. For panel-to-chassis, enclosure covers, and strut or box hardware where the threads already exist, the machine screw is correct.
6) How are the Metallics JFMP102SS screws packaged, and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, which is the order minimum (100 count). Jar weight is 1.56 lbs. Other sizes and quantities can be had by request.
7) Do these stainless machine screws meet Buy American requirements for a federal job?
The record lists them as Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, with country of origin China. On a federally funded project, hand both of those facts to your compliance reviewer, since domestic-content rules vary by funding program.
