Metallics JFM99SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/4-20 machine screw thread into a standard 1/4-20 tapped hole or nut?
Yes. The Metallics JFM99SS is a 1/4-20 UNC screw at 20 threads per inch, cut to ANSI/ASME B1.1, so it mates with any standard 1/4-20 coarse tapped hole, nut, or strut channel nut. Overall length is 1/2 inch, so your usable grip is 1/2 inch minus the thickness of whatever the flat head is countersunk into.
2) Can I use these on a federally funded job with Buy American requirements?
No. The JFM99SS is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin recorded as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic-sourcing clause, you need a domestically produced fastener instead.
3) Is 18-8 stainless the right choice for damp or wash-down locations?
18-8 stainless is specified for general atmospheric corrosion resistance, and it is the material used in food processing machinery and refrigeration equipment, so damp interiors, kitchens, and cooler rooms are where it earns its keep. It also holds strength better than plain steel as application temperature climbs. For buried or chloride-heavy marine exposure, 18-8 is not the top of the line in stainless grades.
4) How many screws come in a jar of JFM99SS?
They ship 100 to a jar, and the jar is the order minimum, so the smallest quantity is 100 pieces. The packed jar weighs 0.81 lbs.
5) Can I get a 1/4-20 flat head slotted stainless screw in a longer length than 1/2 inch?
The JFM99SS is the 1/4-20 x 1/2 in. size within the Metallics FM and FMP machine screw series, and other sizes and quantities in the series are available by request. If your grip is thicker than 1/2 inch, ask for the longer length in the same series rather than stacking washers under this one.
6) Are these machine screws suitable for electrical device and panel work?
Yes, they are catalogued for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, which is where 1/4-20 flat head screws typically land: enclosure covers, mounting brackets, strut hardware, and equipment panels where the head needs to sit flush in a countersunk hole. They are machine screws, so they need a tapped hole or a nut on the back side, not sheet metal alone.
