Metallics JFM91 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JFM91 8-32 machine screw thread into a standard electrical device box or plaster ring?
The JFM91 is an 8-32 UNC thread screw, 32 threads per inch, made to ANSI/ASME B1.1. That is the thread used throughout electrical device mounting, so it engages tapped 8-32 holes in boxes, plaster rings, and device yokes. At 3 inches long it is far longer than a standard device screw, so it is meant for deep-set boxes, thick build-ups of tile or stone, or stacked rings where a short screw will not reach the tapped hole.
2) Can I use the Metallics JFM91 on a federally funded job with domestic content requirements?
No. The JFM91 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, you need a different screw.
3) Is a machine screw the right fastener here, or do I need a self tapping or wood screw?
A machine screw like the JFM91 has a uniform machine thread with no point, so it needs an existing tapped hole or a nut behind it. If you are screwing into bare sheet metal, wood, or an untapped hole, this is the wrong fastener and you want a self tapping or wood screw instead. Typical use here is electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work where the hole is already threaded.
4) How many 8-32 x 3 in. screws come in a jar, and can I buy just a few?
They ship in a jar of 100 with a 100 piece minimum, so this is a bulk pack rather than a loose-count item. The jar weighs 1.46 lbs.
5) Are these zinc plated steel screws suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
Material is zinc plated steel, carbon steel in the AISI 1006 to 1022 range with a zinc finish. Zinc plating is a mild corrosion coating intended for dry indoor use. For damp, exterior, or washdown locations, specify a stainless 8-32 machine screw instead.
6) Do these machine screws meet a recognized dimensional standard for submittals?
Head and slot dimensions are made to ASME B18.6.3-1998 and the thread to ANSI/ASME B1.1, with material to AISI 1006 - 1022. Those are the three figures a submittal reviewer usually wants on a slotted flat head machine screw.
7) Which Metallics series is the JFM91 part of, and is it available in other lengths?
The JFM91 belongs to Metallics' FM and FMP machine screw series. This part number is specifically the 8-32 x 3 in. flat head slotted in zinc plated steel; the series covers other diameters, lengths, and pack quantities, which can be requested.
