Metallics JFMP89SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the flat head on these 8-32 screws sit flush in a countersunk hole?
Yes. These are true flat head screws with a countersunk profile, head width 0.285 to 0.312 in. and head height 0.084 to 0.1 in., built to ASME B18.6.3-1998. In a matching 82 degree countersink the head finishes flush with the surface, so nothing protrudes to catch a plate or panel laid over it. If your hole is not countersunk, the head will stand proud by roughly its head height and you want a pan or round head instead.
2) What size Phillips driver do I need for these Metallics 8-32 machine screws?
A #2 Phillips. The recess measures 0.182 in. diameter, 0.11 in. deep and 0.03 in. wide, which is the standard #2 geometry. Using a #1 will cam out and chew the recess; a #3 will not seat.
3) Are these stainless machine screws suitable for outdoor, washdown or refrigeration use?
18-8 stainless is the material here, which is what you reach for when you need general atmospheric corrosion resistance: exterior boxes, food processing machinery, refrigeration equipment and damp mechanical rooms. Stainless also holds its strength better than plated steel as operating temperature rises. For plain dry interior work, a zinc plated steel machine screw does the same mechanical job for less.
4) Is the Metallics JFMP89SS sold individually or do I have to buy a full jar?
It ships as a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum, so this is a full-jar purchase rather than loose pieces. Jar weight is 1.1 lbs. For a service van that is a sensible stocking quantity for a long 8-32; for a single repair it is more than you need.
5) What is the difference between a machine screw like this and a self-tapping or sheet metal screw?
A machine screw has a uniform 8-32 UNC machine thread with a blunt end, meant to go into an already tapped hole or to be run through a hole and captured with a nut. It will not cut its own thread in sheet metal. If you are fastening into untapped sheet or into a pilot hole in wood, you want a sheet metal or self-drilling screw instead. This one is for tapped device boxes, fixture housings, panel hardware and nut-and-screw assemblies.
6) Do these Metallics machine screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a government job?
The JFMP89SS is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA in Metallics' own data, while country of origin is listed as China. On a federally funded project where the specification demands domestic melt and manufacture, confirm which compliance basis your contract uses before you submit these.
