1/4-20 x 2-1/2 in. Flat Head Slotted Machine Screws - 18-8 Stainless - 100qty
Additional Notes
- Other sizes and quantities available by request | Hardness and tensile strength standards are offered as guides only for stainless machine screws. There is currently no national standard for these performance requirements for stainless machine screws.
Features
- Stainless steel machine screws are used in applications which require general atmospheric corrosion resistance, in food processing machinery and refrigeration equipment.
- Stainless is also superior to steel in withstanding some elevation in application operating temperature while maintaining its strength.
- 1/4-20 Diameter, 2-1/2" Length

Metallics JFM107SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JFM107SS 1/4-20 machine screw thread into a standard 1/4-20 tapped hole or nut?
Yes. The JFM107SS is a 1/4-20 UNC screw at 20 threads per inch, made to ANSI/ASME B1.1 thread standard, so it mates with any standard 1/4-20 coarse tapped hole, nut, or strut channel nut. Overall length is 2-1/2 inches, and because a flat head is countersunk, the full 2-1/2 inches counts as usable length into the hole rather than sitting on top of the surface.
2) Does the Metallics JFM107SS meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The JFM107SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this screw will not satisfy it and you need a domestically sourced fastener instead.
3) Are 18-8 stainless machine screws suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
18-8 stainless is specified for general atmospheric corrosion resistance, which covers exterior fixture mounting, damp mechanical rooms, food processing machinery, and refrigeration equipment. It also holds its strength better than plain steel as application temperatures rise. For constant salt spray or coastal immersion, 18-8 is the general-purpose grade, not a marine grade.
4) How many screws come in a jar and can I buy just a few?
These ship as a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum. There is no loose-piece count below that, so a job needing a dozen screws still buys the full jar. The packed jar weighs 2.89 lbs.
5) What is the tensile strength of the Metallics 1/4-20 stainless machine screw?
Rated at 1900 lb minimum tensile, with a hardness of Rockwell B85-B95. Worth knowing before you spec it: there is currently no national standard for hardness and tensile performance on stainless machine screws, so those figures are guides rather than a certified grade mark. If your drawing calls for a graded fastener with a certified proof load, a stainless machine screw is not the right item.
6) What trades actually use a 2-1/2 inch flat head machine screw like this?
Field application covers the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. At 2-1/2 inches of length it is a through-bolting screw: panel and enclosure assembly, device and plate mounting through thick build-ups, strut and bracket work with a channel nut on the back side. The flat head lets it sit flush in a countersunk hole where a projecting head would interfere.
7) Can I get this Metallics screw in a different length or thread size?
Yes. The FM and FMP series covers other sizes and quantities by request, so if you need the same 18-8 stainless flat head slotted screw in a shorter length or a different diameter, it can be sourced within the series. The JFM107SS specifically is the 1/4-20 x 2-1/2 inch.
