Metallics JSRM130 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics JSRM130 machine screws?
The JSRM130 is a 3/8-16 machine screw, 3 inches long, with 16 threads per inch. That is the coarse 3/8 machine screw thread, so it mates with a 3/8-16 tapped hole or nut. Material is 18-8 stainless.
2) How strong is a 3/8-16 x 3 in. stainless machine screw, and can I torque it like a Grade 5 bolt?
Tensile strength on the JSRM130 is listed at 80,000 psi minimum with hardness Rockwell B85-B95. That is well below a Grade 5 or Grade 8 steel bolt, so don't carry over steel torque figures. Note also that tensile values for stainless machine screws are approximations only, as there is no single performance standard for them. For a structural load, use a graded steel bolt instead.
3) Do these stainless screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a federal job?
No. The JSRM130 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, this fastener will not satisfy it and you need a documented domestic-origin screw.
4) Can I use 18-8 stainless machine screws outdoors or in a wet location?
18-8 stainless is the standard austenitic corrosion-resistant grade, and it's what the JSRM130 is made from, so damp, washdown, and general outdoor exposure are within its normal use. In chloride-heavy service (coastal salt spray, pool chemistry, de-icing salt) 18-8 can pit, and 316 is the usual step up.
5) How do these Metallics machine screws ship, loose or in a jar, and what is the minimum I can order?
They come packed in a jar, with a 50 each order minimum on the JSRM130. So the smallest buy is 50 screws, not a single piece, which is the normal shop or van-stock quantity for a 3/8-16 fastener.
6) Is a machine screw the right choice here, or should I be using a tapping screw or a bolt?
A machine screw like the JSRM130 has a uniform 3/8-16 thread with a blunt end and no point, so it needs a pre-tapped hole or a mating nut. It will not cut its own thread in sheet metal or wood, and it isn't the fastener for raw drilled holes. Use a self-tapping screw for sheet metal, or a hex bolt where you need a wrench and a higher strength rating.
7) I need a different length or a bigger quantity of 3/8-16 stainless round head screws. Is that possible?
Yes. The SRM series covers other sizes and quantities beyond the 3 inch JSRM130, available by request. Tell us the diameter, length, and count you need and we'll match it within the series.
