Metallics JFWP9 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many Metallics JFWP9 wood screws come in a jar, and can I buy fewer?
The JFWP9 ships in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum, so a jar is the smallest buy. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
2) Will a #6 x 1/2 in. flat head screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
Yes, if the hole is countersunk. The flat head runs 0.244 to 0.279 in. across with a 0.083 in. head height, so it needs a matching countersink to finish flush. Driven into a flat, un-countersunk surface the head will stand proud.
3) Are these screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government project?
No. The JFWP9 is not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic-sourcing clause, this is not the screw to submit.
4) What size Phillips bit do I need for Metallics JFWP9 #6 wood screws?
A #2 Phillips driver. The recess measures 0.161 to 0.174 in. in diameter at 0.083 to 0.106 in. deep, which is standard #2 geometry, so a worn bit will cam out on a #6 head this small.
5) Are these #6 screws threaded all the way to the head?
Effectively yes at 1/2 in. Metallics specifies that screws too short to accommodate the minimum thread length carry threads as close to the underside of the head as practicable; the 2/3-length thread rule only kicks in at 1 inch and longer. Thread pitch is 18 per inch with a tapered point.
6) Can I use Metallics JFWP9 zinc wood screws outdoors or in a damp location?
Keep them inside. These are steel with a zinc finish, which handles normal indoor conditions but is not a corrosion coating for exterior, wet, or treated-lumber contact. For outdoor mounting, use a stainless or exterior-coated screw instead.
7) Do Metallics JFWP wood screws meet a dimensional standard for spec work?
They are made to ASME B18.6.1, with thread conforming to ASME B18.6.1-1997. That covers head, recess, and thread dimensions, so the screws interchange with any other B18.6.1 #6 flat head wood screw on a submittal.
8) What are these short wood screws typically used for on an electrical job?
Metallics lists the JFWP series for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work. At #6 x 1/2 in. they are the fastener for anchoring device boxes, straps, clips, and small plates to wood framing or blocking where a longer screw would blow through the back of a stud face or a thin furring strip.
9) Do I need to pre-drill for #6 x 1/2 in. tapered-point wood screws?
The tapered point lets them start in softwood without a pilot, but in hardwood or near an edge, pre-drill. With only 1/2 in. of length and 18 threads per inch there is little thread to spare, so splitting the wood costs you the whole hold.
