Metallics JFWP48 14 x 2 in. Flat Head Phillips Wood Screws - Steel Zinc - Each

Yes, if the countersink matches the head. The JFWP48 has a flat head measuring 0.452 to 0.507 in. across with a head height of 0.153 in., so it seats fully below the surface in a standard countersink of that diameter. Flat head geometry is what lets it finish flush with wood, a strap, or a backplate instead of standing proud like a pan or hex washer head.

These are zinc plated steel, not stainless and not hot dip galvanized. Zinc plating handles dry interior and protected work fine, but in sustained wet, treated lumber, or coastal exposure it will corrode. For those conditions step up to a stainless flat head wood screw in the same #14 x 2 in. size.

No. The JFWP48 wood screws are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing requirements you will need a domestically produced fastener instead.

A #3 Phillips bit. The JFWP48 is a Phillips drive screw with a recess diameter of 0.270 to 0.283 in. and recess depth of 0.046 to 0.070 in., so a #2 bit will cam out and chew the recess under torque. Keep #3 bits in the pouch if you are driving these all day.

The JFWP48 has a tapered point, which is the traditional wood screw geometry: it needs a pilot hole in hardwood and in any dense or thin stock to avoid splitting. In softwood it will start on its own, but a #14 is a heavy gauge screw and a pilot plus countersink gives you a flush, split free seat every time.

Yes. The JFWP48 is built to ASME B18.6.1 for dimensions, with threads to ASME B18.6.1-1997. That covers head diameter, head height, thread pitch and point form, so the head and recess dimensions are repeatable jar to jar.

They come in a jar, with a minimum of 100 pieces per jar. Jar weight is 2.049 lbs. If you need a different length or a bulk count, other sizes and quantities are available by request.

These are general purpose anchoring screws for the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades: mounting boxes, straps, clamps, brackets and backer plates into wood studs, blocking, and plywood. At #14 diameter with 2 in. of length they are on the heavy side of wood screws, so they suit load carrying supports rather than light trim work.
