Metallics JFM115 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 5/16-18 machine screw thread into my existing tapped holes and standard nuts?
Yes. The Metallics JFM115 is a 5/16-18 UNC thread cut to ANSI/ASME B1.1, which is the standard coarse series, so it mates with any 5/16-18 tapped hole, nut, or threaded insert. Eighteen threads per inch is the only pitch offered on this part, so if your hole is 5/16-24 fine thread it will not engage.
2) Is the 2 inch length the overall screw length or just the threaded portion?
On a flat head machine screw the 2 inch length is measured from the top of the head to the point, because the head sits below the surface. So usable grip is the full 2 inches minus whatever material thickness sits above the countersink shoulder. The JFM115 is threaded 5/16-18 along the body.
3) Can I use these zinc plated screws outdoors or in a damp location?
Zinc plating over carbon steel gives light corrosion resistance, fine for indoor panel work, enclosures, device mounting and dry electrical rooms. For wet, exterior or washdown locations go to a stainless machine screw, since zinc plate will eventually rust through in standing moisture.
4) Do slotted screws work with a power driver or do I need to hand drive them?
The slot on the JFM115 is 0.072 to 0.084 inches wide and 0.058 to 0.088 inches deep, which calls for a flat tip blade matched to that width. Slotted drive cams out easily under power, so hand driving or a low speed clutched driver is the practical approach. If you want to run these fast, a Phillips or combo head screw is the better choice.
5) How are these 5/16-18 machine screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100 count, and 100 is the order minimum, so you are buying a full jar rather than loose pieces. Shipping weight on the jar is 2.81 lbs.
6) Will these screws meet a Buy American requirement on a federal or institutional job?
The JFM115 is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American provisions, while the country of origin is listed as China. On federally funded work, confirm which clause your contract invokes, since the compliance flag and the origin need to be read together by your specifier.
7) Are these machine screws made to a dimensional spec I can cite on a submittal?
Dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-1998 for slotted flat head machine screws, threads follow ANSI/ASME B1.1, and the steel is AISI 1006-1022. Those three are what a submittal reviewer will want on the Metallics FM and FMP series.
