Metallics JFM95SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the flat head on these 8-32 screws sit flush, and what countersink does it need?
Flat head, slotted drive, so it seats flush in a countersunk hole. Head width runs 0.285 to 0.312 in. and head height 0.084 to 0.1 in., dimensioned to ASME B18.6.3-1998, which is the standard 82 degree flat head countersink angle. If the hole in your plate or bracket is a plain drilled hole with no countersink, the head will stand proud and you want a round or pan head instead.
2) Are Metallics JFM95SS screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JFM95SS 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, this item will not satisfy it and you need a domestically produced fastener.
3) Should I use stainless or plain steel machine screws for outdoor and wash-down work?
Go stainless where moisture, wash-down, or weather is in play. The JFM95SS is 18-8 stainless, which is specified for general atmospheric corrosion resistance and is common in food processing machinery and refrigeration equipment. 18-8 also holds its strength better than plain steel when the application runs hot. For dry interior work inside a finished building, a zinc plated steel machine screw does the same mechanical job.
4) Do the JFM95SS screws come loose or in a pack, and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum. Figure roughly a half pound per jar at 0.52 lbs. Good item to keep on the truck or in the MRO crib since the 8-32 thread covers most device and cover plate work.
5) Do I need a special driver for these slotted machine screws?
A standard flat blade screwdriver drives them. The slot measures 0.045 to 0.054 in. wide and 0.029 to 0.045 in. deep, so a thin keystone or cabinet tip blade seats better than a fat tip. Slotted drive is a hand-driving head, not a bit you want to run with an impact gun.
6) What trades actually use the Metallics FM series machine screws?
The FM and FMP series is built for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. Typical uses are mounting devices, plates, straps, brackets, and equipment panels where a tapped hole or a nut is on the other side. A machine screw needs a mating thread, so it is not a substitute for a sheet metal or self-tapping screw into bare sheet.
