Metallics JFM87SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does a flat head screw sit flush, or do I need a countersunk hole?
Flat head means countersunk. The head is 0.285 to 0.312 in. across and only 0.084 to 0.1 in. high, so it needs an 82 degree countersink or a factory-chamfered hole to finish flush. On a flat, un-countersunk surface the head will stand proud by that head height, so for flat-surface mounting choose a pan or round head instead.
2) Are these screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The Metallics JFM87SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant; country of origin is listed as multiple. If your project has domestic-sourcing language in it, this screw will not satisfy it.
3) Is 18-8 stainless the right screw for outdoor or wash-down work?
18-8 stainless handles general atmospheric corrosion, which covers exterior panels, refrigeration equipment, and food processing machinery where plated steel would rust out. It also holds strength better than steel as operating temperature rises. For salt spray or chlorinated environments, 316 stainless is the harder-wearing choice.
4) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JFM87SS?
They ship in a jar of 100, which is the order minimum. The jar weighs 0.67 lbs.
5) What driver fits these screws, and can I run them with a drill?
Slotted drive only. The slot runs 0.045 to 0.054 in. wide and 0.029 to 0.045 in. deep, so a straight-blade screwdriver ground to match is what seats properly. Slotted heads cam out easily under power, so hand-driving or a low-speed, low-torque driver is the practical approach. If your crew standardizes on Phillips or combo-head screws, this is not that screw.
6) Will these screws meet a spec that calls out ASME dimensional standards for flat head machine screws?
The JFM87SS is made to ASME B18.6.3-1998 for dimensions, with threads to ANSI/ASME B1.1 and material to SAE. That covers the usual submittal callouts for a flat head slotted machine screw.
7) What trades actually use an 8-32 x 1-1/4 in. flat head stainless machine screw?
It is stocked for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work. Typical use is fastening cover plates, panels, brackets, and equipment components into tapped holes or through-holes with a nut, where the head has to finish flush and the fastener has to resist corrosion.
8) Can I get this Metallics flat head machine screw in other lengths or diameters?
Yes. The JFM87SS is the 8-32 x 1-1/4 in. size within the Metallics FM and FMP flat head machine screw series, and other sizes and pack quantities are available by request.
