Metallics JFM17SS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Metallics JFM17SS 8-32 machine screw thread into a standard device box or plaster ring?
The JFM17SS is an 8-32 UNC thread at 32 threads per inch, cut to ANSI/ASME B1.1, which is the same 8-32 thread used on outlet boxes, plaster rings, switch and receptacle mounting holes, and most wiring device hardware. At 3/8 in. long it is a short screw, so it suits mounting straps, covers and brackets rather than deep stack-ups.
2) Can I use these 18-8 stainless machine screws outdoors or in a wet/washdown area?
Yes. The JFM17SS is 18-8 stainless, which is specified for general atmospheric corrosion resistance and is used in food processing machinery and refrigeration equipment. It also holds strength better than plain steel at elevated operating temperatures. That makes it a reasonable pick for damp locations, kitchens, and exterior enclosures where a zinc-plated screw would rust out.
3) Do these Metallics stainless screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA-funded project?
No. The JFM17SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded job with domestic sourcing requirements, you will need a domestically produced fastener instead.
4) Is a flat head slotted screw the right choice, or should I use a pan head here?
Flat head is what you want when the screw has to finish flush. The JFM17SS has a flat countersunk head measuring 0.285 to 0.312 in. across with a head height of 0.084 to 0.1 in., so it seats into a chamfered or countersunk hole and leaves nothing standing above the surface. If your hole is not countersunk, the head will sit proud and a pan or round head is the better pick. The drive is a straight slot, 0.045 to 0.054 in. wide and 0.029 to 0.045 in. deep, so a flat-blade driver is all that is needed.
5) How many Metallics JFM17SS screws come in a pack and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, and one jar is the minimum order quantity. Figure about 0.28 lbs for the jar.
6) What dimensional spec do these Metallics flat head machine screws meet?
Head and thread geometry are built to ASME B18.6.3-1998 with threads to ANSI/ASME B1.1, and the material is to SAE standard. That matters on a submittal: it means head diameter, head height and slot dimensions fall within the published tolerance band rather than being a loose commercial screw.
7) What trades actually use the Metallics FM series flat head machine screws?
The FM and FMP series is stocked for the electrical, plumbing, and heating and air conditioning trades. In practice that is panel and enclosure covers, device and fixture mounting, duct and equipment brackets, and general MRO repair where a flush 8-32 fastener is needed.
