Metallics JSRM97P – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JSRM97P machine screw have, and will it take a standard 1/4-20 nut?
The JSRM97P is a 1/4-20 machine screw, 20 threads per inch on a 1/4 inch diameter body, so it mates with any standard 1/4-20 nut, coupling, or tapped 1/4-20 hole. Overall length is 2-1/2 inches. Machine screws are fully threaded straight-shank fasteners, so the thread runs the usable length and you can stack washers or spacers wherever you need.
2) Do these Metallics stainless screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a federal job?
No. The JSRM97P 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, these will not qualify and you need a domestically produced fastener instead.
3) What size Phillips driver fits the JSRM97P screws?
Use a #3 Phillips bit. The recess runs 0.255 to 0.268 inch in diameter with a 0.121 to 0.147 inch depth, which is larger than the #2 recess most crews default to. Driving these with a #2 will cam out and chew the recess, so keep a #3 in the pouch for this size.
4) Are these 1/4-20 round head screws suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
They are 18-8 stainless, the general purpose austenitic grade, so they hold up in wet and outdoor service far better than plain or zinc plated steel. Common uses are exterior enclosures, damp mechanical rooms, and coastal-adjacent work where plated hardware rusts and streaks. For direct, constant salt immersion, a 316 grade fastener is the stronger choice.
5) How much does the round head on these 1/4-20 screws stand off the surface?
Head height is 0.16 to 0.175 inch and head width is 0.443 to 0.472 inch. That domed profile sits proud of the material, so it is not a substitute where a drawing calls for a flat head sitting flush in a countersink. The wide head does give good bearing on sheet metal, plate, and slotted strut without needing a finish washer.
6) Is a 2-1/2 inch machine screw long enough to go through a 4-square box and a mud ring?
At 2-1/2 inches of fully threaded 1/4-20 shank, there is enough length to pass through stacked plate, strut, extension rings, or standoff spacers and still pick up a nut on the far side. Machine screws thread into a tapped hole or a nut, not into wood or masonry, so you need a mating thread on the back side. Figure your stack thickness plus enough protrusion to fully engage the nut.
7) How are the Metallics JSRM97P screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 count is the order minimum. That makes them a stock-and-shelf item for a service van or MRO crib rather than a single-piece pull.
