Metallics JFM88 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Metallics JFM88 8-32 machine screw thread into standard electrical device and box mounting holes?
Yes. The JFM88 is an 8-32 UNC thread cut to ANSI/ASME B1.1, 32 threads per inch, which is the thread used on switch and receptacle mounting ears, device box screw holes, and cover plate straps. At 1-1/2 inches long it reaches well past flush mounting, so it is the screw you grab when a device sits deep in the box or behind thick plaster.
2) Will the flat head on the JFM88 screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
It will, provided the hole is countersunk at 82 degrees for a standard flat head. The head measures 0.285 to 0.312 in. across and 0.084 to 0.1 in. high, built to ASME B18.6.3-1998, so it drops level with the surface rather than standing proud. If your plate or bracket has a flat, non-countersunk hole, use a pan or round head instead, since a flat head will only wobble on the hole edge.
3) Does the Metallics JFM88 machine screw meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a public project?
No. The JFM88 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 screw will not satisfy it and you need a domestically produced fastener instead.
4) How is the JFM88 8-32 machine screw packaged, and how many come in an order?
These ship in a jar of 100 pieces, which is the order minimum. The full jar weighs 0.77 lbs. Handy for a truck stock bin rather than counting out loose pieces at the counter.
5) Is a zinc plated steel machine screw okay for outdoor or damp locations?
Keep it indoors and dry. The JFM88 is zinc plated carbon steel, which handles normal interior electrical, plumbing and HVAC work fine but will rust in wet, exterior or washdown locations. For those, specify a stainless machine screw in the same 8-32 x 1-1/2 size.
6) Is the JFM88 a machine screw or a self tapping sheet metal screw?
It is a machine screw, part of the Metallics FM and FMP series. The threads run the full 8-32 UNC form for a tapped hole or a nut, and it has a blunt end rather than a drill or cutting point. It will not cut its own threads in sheet metal, so you need an existing tapped hole, a nut, or to tap the hole with a 8-32 tap first.
7) What screwdriver fits the slot on a Metallics JFM88 machine screw?
A flat blade. The drive is slotted, with the slot 0.045 to 0.054 in. wide and 0.029 to 0.045 in. deep, so a small to medium cabinet tip electrician's screwdriver seats properly. A tip wider than the slot will ride up on the countersink face and a narrow jeweler's blade will cam out and chew the slot.
