Metallics JFM128 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/4-20 machine screw thread into standard electrical box and strut hardware?
The Metallics JFM128 is a 1/4-20 UNC thread, 20 threads per inch, made to ANSI/ASME B1.1. That is the standard coarse 1/4 inch machine screw thread, so it mates with any 1/4-20 tapped hole or nut, which is the common size for strut fittings, box mounting hardware and equipment panels. It is not a self-tapping screw, so the hole has to already be tapped or you need a matching nut.
2) Can I use these screws on a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. The Metallics JFM128 machine screws are not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing requirements you need a domestically made fastener.
3) Is zinc plated steel okay outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The JFM128 is steel with a zinc finish, which handles indoor and normally dry conditions. Zinc plating is a sacrificial coating, not stainless, so in wet, washdown, coastal or corrosive settings it will eventually rust and you should specify a stainless machine screw in the same 1/4-20 x 2-1/2 in. size.
4) Do I have to buy a full jar of these machine screws?
Yes. The 1/4-20 x 2-1/2 in. flat head slotted screws ship in a jar of 100, with an order minimum of 100 pieces. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
5) What material thickness does a 2-1/2 inch machine screw suit?
At 2-1/2 in. under the head, the JFM128 is a long machine screw meant for stacked assemblies, thick panels, spacers or through bolting with a nut on the far side. For thin sheet metal or a shallow tapped hole the extra length just leaves thread hanging past the joint, so step down in length rather than running a nut up the shank.
6) What trades normally stock this size of flat head machine screw?
Metallics lists the FM and FMP series for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning industries. The zinc yellow version of these screws is also common in electronics work. For an MRO crib it is a general purpose 1/4-20 flush mount fastener rather than a trade specific part.
