Metallics JBSC814 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics JBSC814 button head cap screw?
JBSC814 is an 8-32 x 1/4 inch socket button head cap screw. The thread is 32 threads per inch to ANSI/ASME B1.1, UN thread form, so it mates with any standard 8-32 tapped hole or nut. At 1/4 inch long it is a short screw meant for thin material stack-ups, panel covers, and device plates.
2) Will these Metallics screws satisfy a Buy American or ARRA requirement on a public job?
No. JBSC814 is not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing language, these will not clear the submittal and you need a domestically produced fastener.
3) What size hex key drives these button head screws?
Hex drive, socket head, with a socket depth of 0.052 inch. On an 8-32 button head that shallow socket is the thing to watch: use a clean, fully seated hex key and do not lean on it with a ball-end driver, or you will cam out and round the socket before the screw is tight.
4) Is the black finish on these screws corrosion resistant enough for outdoor or damp locations?
Treat these as an indoor, dry-location fastener. The screws are alloy steel with a black finish and Metallics supplies them plain, meaning no supplementary protective plating. For wet locations, exterior enclosures, or washdown areas, specify a stainless or hot-dip galvanized fastener instead.
5) How are these Metallics 8-32 button head screws packaged, and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum. That jar weighs 0.31 lbs. For a truck stock or a panel shop that burns through 8-32 hardware, one jar is the buying unit rather than a per-piece count.
6) Do these screws meet a recognized dimensional spec for socket head cap screws?
Dimensions conform to ASME B18.3-2012, the standard covering socket cap screws, and the threads to ANSI/ASME B1.1. If a drawing or submittal calls out B18.3 button head socket screws in 8-32, JBSC814 answers that callout on dimension and thread.
7) Is a button head or a flat head socket screw the right choice for my panel?
Button head, like the JBSC814, sits on top of the surface with a low rounded crown about 0.077 to 0.087 inch proud and needs only a through clearance hole. A flat head needs a countersink in the material to finish flush, so it is the pick when nothing can protrude at all. If your panel is thin sheet metal that cannot take a countersink, the button head is the one that works.
