Metallics JFMP68SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 6-32 flat head machine screw thread into a standard electrical device box or mud ring?
The Metallics JFMP68SS is a 6-32 UNC machine screw, which is the thread used on device box and mud ring mounting holes, so it threads into standard tapped box holes. Thread pitch is 32 threads per inch to ANSI/ASME B1.1. At 1-1/4 inches long it is a long screw for that use, meant for deep mud rings, spacer stacks, or where you need to reach through extension rings.
2) Are stainless machine screws the right choice outdoors or in a wet location instead of plated steel?
The JFMP68SS is 18-8 stainless, which is specified where you need general atmospheric corrosion resistance, including food processing machinery and refrigeration equipment. It also holds strength better than plated steel at elevated operating temperatures. For dry indoor work plated steel is adequate; for damp, washdown, coastal, or temperature-cycled locations the stainless is what you want.
3) Can I use the Metallics JFMP68SS on a federally funded Buy American job?
No. The JFMP68SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a job with domestic sourcing requirements you need a documented domestic fastener instead.
4) What size Phillips driver do I need for Metallics 6-32 machine screws?
A #2 Phillips. The recess is 0.168 in. in diameter and 0.094 in. deep, which is a #2 pocket; a #1 bit will cam out and chew the recess, a #3 will not seat.
5) Do these screws meet the dimensional spec our drawings call out for flat head machine screws?
Head and thread geometry conform to ASME B18.6.3-1998 for dimensions, with threads to ANSI/ASME B1.1 and material to SAE. Gaging diameter is 0.22 with protrusion 0.021 to 0.036 above gage, which is the flush-seating check in B18.6.3.
6) Will a machine screw work in wood or drywall, or do I need a tapped hole?
A tapped hole or a nut. Machine screws have uniform 32 TPI UNC machine threads, not a coarse wood thread and no self-tapping point, so they only hold in pre-tapped metal, a threaded insert, or against a 6-32 nut. For wood or board substrates use a wood screw or an anchor.
7) How are these Metallics 6-32 screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 is the order minimum. Package weight is listed at 0.45 lbs. If you need a different count or a different length in the FM and FMP series, other sizes and quantities are available by request.
8) What trades commonly use these 6-32 stainless flat head screws?
Metallics lists the field application as the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning industries. Typical use is mounting devices, plates, brackets, and panel components into tapped holes, with the flat head chosen where the fastener has to finish flush.
