Metallics JSTSP12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use these stainless screws to fasten into aluminum or steel?
You can, but be aware of galvanic corrosion. Fastening stainless parts to aluminum or steel creates a galvanic couple that can corrode in some environments, particularly wet or outdoor ones. Indoors and dry, it's generally a non-issue; in damp or coastal conditions, isolate the joint or pick a fastener material matched to the base metal.
2) Are Metallics JSTSP12 screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JSTSP12 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic sourcing requirement, this part will not satisfy it.
3) What size Phillips driver bit do I need for these #6 stainless tapping screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess measures 0.153 to 0.166 inch in diameter at 0.091 inch deep, which is what a #2 point seats into. Using a #1 will cam out and chew the recess, especially in stainless.
4) How much torque will a #6 18-8 stainless tapping screw take before it snaps?
The JSTSP12 is rated to 24 lb-in minimum torsional strength. That is low enough that an impact driver run wide open will twist heads off, which is the usual failure with stainless in this diameter. Drive it with a clutch-set drill or by hand and stop at seat.
5) Will the pan head on these screws sit flush or stand proud of the surface?
It stands proud. A pan head bears on top of the material rather than countersinking, with a head 0.256 to 0.27 inch across and 0.087 to 0.097 inch tall on the #6 size. If you need the head below the surface, you want a flat head screw instead.
6) Do these tapping screws meet a dimensional standard for spec work?
Head dimensions conform to ASME B18.6.3-2013 and the thread form to ASME B18.6.4. One caveat for anyone speccing across the JSTSP series: dimensions for the #9 diameter are independent of ASME B18.6.4. The #6 x 1 inch JSTSP12 is within standard.
7) How are Metallics JSTSP12 screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They come in a jar of 100, and 100 is the minimum order quantity. The packed jar weighs 0.42 lbs. Other sizes and quantities in the JSTSP series can be had by request.
8) What trades actually use #6 x 1 in. stainless pan head tapping screws?
Metallics lists them for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning industries. Typical use is mounting boxes, straps, plates and light sheet metal components where corrosion resistance matters and the fastener taps its own thread as it drives.
