Metallics JSHC1412 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread is the Metallics JSHC1412 socket head cap screw?
It's a 1/4-20 screw, 1/2 inch long, with 20 threads per inch on a Unified (UN) thread form. That means it mates with any standard 1/4-20 tapped hole or nut, which is the common coarse thread for quarter-inch hardware in strut, enclosure and equipment mounting work.
2) Is a socket head cap screw stronger than a Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex bolt?
The JSHC1412 alloy steel socket head screw is rated 180,000 psi minimum tensile and 162,000 psi minimum yield, with a hardness of Rockwell C39. Per the product data it supplies greater tensile strength than equivalent sizes of Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex head cap screws, and because it's internally wrenched it needs less surface area or counterbore clearance around the head.
3) What counterbore do I need for a 1/4-20 socket head cap screw head?
Head width on this screw runs 0.365 to 0.375 in. and head height is 0.244 to 0.25 in., so a counterbore has to clear a 3/8 inch head diameter and be at least 1/4 inch deep to bring the head flush. The head is a plain socket type, not a flat or button head, so it will not self-center in a chamfered hole.
4) Does this Metallics cap screw meet ASME B18.3?
Yes, the JSHC1412 is built to ASME B18.3-2012, the dimensional standard for socket head cap screws. If a drawing calls out a B18.3 socket head cap screw in 1/4-20 x 1/2, this answers that callout dimensionally.
5) Are these Metallics cap screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JSHC1412 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. For a federally funded project with domestic sourcing requirements, you'll need a domestically produced socket head cap screw instead.
6) What tool drives the Metallics JSHC1412 cap screw?
It takes a hex key (Allen) driver in the socket, not a wrench on the outside of the head. Socket depth is 0.12 in., so a hex key or bit with full engagement in that depth is what you want when torquing an alloy steel screw to its rating.
7) How are these Metallics socket head screws packaged, and what's the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, which is the order minimum. If you need another length, diameter or count, Metallics lists other sizes and quantities as available by request.
8) Is a black alloy steel cap screw suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
The finish here is plain black alloy steel, not a plated or galvanized corrosion finish. That's fine for interior panel, enclosure and equipment work, which is what Metallics targets with it (electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning). For damp or exposed exterior use, specify a zinc plated or stainless cap screw instead.
