Metallics JSRM133 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch are the Metallics JSRM133 machine screws?
The JSRM133 is a 3/8-16 machine screw, so 3/8 inch nominal diameter with 16 threads per inch (UNC coarse), in a 1/2 inch length. If your tapped hole or nut is 3/8-24 fine thread, this won't thread in; you need the coarse 3/8-16 pitch.
2) Can I use these on a federally funded or Buy American job?
No. The JSRM133 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant; country of origin is listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic-sourcing clause, you'll need a domestically manufactured stainless machine screw instead.
3) Are these stainless screws OK for outdoor or wet locations?
The material is 18-8 stainless, the common 300-series austenitic grade, so these hold up in damp and outdoor exposure far better than plated steel - wet-location boxes, rooftop equipment, mechanical rooms. 18-8 is not the grade for continuous salt spray or chemical immersion; 316 stainless is the choice there. Note 18-8 is non-magnetic and will not hold on a magnetic driver tip.
4) How strong are these stainless machine screws?
Tensile strength is 80,000 psi minimum, with hardness at Rockwell B85-B95. Metallics notes that tensile values for stainless screws are approximations, since there's no single performance standard for stainless machine screws. For structural or rated load-bearing connections, spec a graded carbon steel fastener to a published standard instead.
5) How are the Metallics JSRM133 screws packaged, and what is the minimum order?
They come in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum - one jar. Shipping weight on the jar is 2.86 lbs. That's a shop or truck-stock quantity, convenient for an MRO crib where you want 3/8-16 stainless on the shelf rather than ordering per job.
6) Do machine screws like these need a nut, or do they thread into the part?
A machine screw has a straight, fully formed machine thread with a blunt end - it does not cut its own thread. You either run it into a pre-tapped 3/8-16 hole or pair it with a 3/8-16 nut through a drilled hole. If you're fastening into sheet metal with no tapped hole, a self-tapping or sheet metal screw is the right part, not this.
7) What trades actually use these 3/8-16 stainless round head screws?
Metallics lists the field application as electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work. Typical uses are mounting straps, brackets, clamps, and enclosure hardware where a tapped hole or nut is available and corrosion resistance matters. The round slotted head is the traditional profile for electrical device and box hardware.
