Metallics JFW120 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a #4 x 1/2 in. flat head wood screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
Yes, that is what the flat head is for. The Metallics JFW120 has a flat head measuring 0.195 to 0.225 in. across with a head height of 0.067 in., so in a properly countersunk hole the head seats flush with the surface. Drill the countersink to roughly the head diameter and the screw will finish level, which is what you want under a cover plate, hinge leaf, or strike.
2) Do I need a pilot hole for these #4 wood screws, and what drive bit fits?
The JFW120 has a tapered point, which draws itself into softwood and makes a pilot hole optional there; in hardwood or near an edge, pilot it to avoid splitting. The drive is slotted, not Phillips, so you need a flat blade. The slot is 0.031 to 0.039 in. wide and 0.02 to 0.03 in. deep, so use a narrow cabinet tip screwdriver rather than a wide general purpose blade, which will ride out of the slot.
3) Does the Metallics JFW120 meet a recognized dimensional standard for government or spec work?
It is built to ASME B18.6.1, with threads to ASME B18.6.1-1997, so head and thread geometry match the standard a drawing calls out for slotted flat head wood screws. It is also flagged ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in the product record. Country of origin is China, which matters if your project writes a domestic sourcing requirement tighter than those flags.
4) Is the Metallics JFW120 wood screw sold individually or in a pack?
It ships in a jar, with a minimum order of 100 count. If you need a different size or a different quantity, Metallics offers other sizes and quantities in the JFW wood screw series by request.
5) Can these zinc plated steel wood screws be used outdoors?
The JFW120 is zinc plated steel. Zinc plating handles indoor and protected locations well, and that is where these belong. For direct weather exposure, treated lumber, or coastal work, specify a stainless or hot dip galvanized screw instead, since plated steel will eventually corrode in those conditions.
6) What is the thread pitch on a #4 Metallics wood screw?
22 threads per inch on the #4 JFW120. That is a coarse wood screw thread, which is what gives it holding power in wood fiber rather than in metal. It is not a machine screw thread, so it will not mate with a tapped hole or a nut.
