Metallics JSRM14 6-32 x 2 in. Round Head Slotted Machine Screws - 18-8 Stainless - Each

No. The JSRM14 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and the country of origin is listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic-content requirement, this part will not satisfy it.

18-8 stainless holds up far better than plated steel in damp, washdown and coastal-adjacent locations, which is the usual reason to spec it over a zinc device screw. The JSRM14 is 18-8 stainless throughout, and Metallics lists it for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work. Note the tensile figure quoted for stainless machine screws, 80,000 psi minimum, is an approximation; there is no single performance standard for stainless machine screws.

The head stands about 0.091 to 0.103 in. tall with a head width of 0.24 to 0.26 in. That is a domed head that sits on top of the material rather than sinking into it, so if you need the screw flush you want a flat head countersunk screw instead. Round head is the usual choice for through-bolting into a box or bracket where a visible head is fine.

They come in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request, so if you need a shorter or longer 6-32 for the same job that is a sourcing question rather than a different product line.

Rockwell B85 to B95 is the hardness on these, which is a soft, ductile range compared with hardened steel. Stainless in that range galls and the slot deforms easily, so drive them by hand or on a low-torque clutch setting. They are not a substitute for a hardened fastener where shear load matters.

About 0.72 lbs for the jar of 100. It is a small item to keep on the truck, and at 2 inches long it covers the deep-ring and spacer situations that a box of short device screws will not.
