Metallics JFM133 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/4-20 machine screw thread into my existing 1/4-20 tapped box or strut nut?
Yes. The Metallics JFM133 is cut to 20 threads per inch in UNC form to ANSI/ASME B1.1, so it mates with any standard 1/4-20 UNC tapped hole or nut, including the 1/4-20 threads common on strut channel nuts and enclosure hardware.
2) Is zinc plated steel okay for outdoor or damp locations?
Keep the JFM133 to dry interior work. It is zinc plated carbon steel (AISI 1006 to 1022 material), which handles indoor electrical and electronics assembly but will corrode in wet, washdown, or exterior exposure. For those openings use a stainless machine screw of the same 1/4-20 x 5 in. size instead.
3) Do these screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
The JFM133 record carries ARRA Compliant and Buy American Compliant flags, with country of origin China. On a federally funded project confirm which standard your spec is written to, since those two designations are applied differently from job to job.
4) Will these flat head slotted screws meet a spec calling for ASME B18.6.3 machine screws?
Yes. Dimensions conform to ASME B18.6.3-1998 and threads to ANSI/ASME B1.1, which is the pair of standards most electrical and MRO specs cite for inch machine screws. That makes the head geometry and thread form interchangeable with any other B18.6.3 1/4-20 flat head screw on your drawing.
5) Does a 5 inch machine screw give me enough reach to go through a thick wall buildup into a device box?
Fastener length is 5 in. measured from the flat head bearing surface, since flat head screw length includes the head. That gives you about 5 in. of usable grip through drywall buildup, firring, or stacked plates before you run out of thread.
6) How much load will a 1/4-20 x 5 in. machine screw take in tension?
Minimum tensile strength is 1900 lb per screw, with hardness in the Rockwell B70 to B100 range. That is a standard low carbon machine screw, not a Grade 5 or Grade 8 bolt, so treat it as a fastening screw rather than a structural one.
7) How are these Metallics machine screws packaged, and what is the minimum I can buy?
They ship in a jar of 100 count, and 100 is the order minimum. Total packed weight is 5.21 lbs, so plan on one jar per order increment rather than loose pieces.
8) Should I use a machine screw or a self tapping screw for mounting into an enclosure?
A machine screw like the JFM133 needs a pre-tapped 1/4-20 hole or a matching nut, which is what you want in a factory tapped enclosure, strut nut, or threaded insert because it can be removed and reinstalled repeatedly. If the hole is unthreaded sheet metal, a machine screw will not hold and you want a self tapping or thread forming screw instead.
