Metallics JSTSP16 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use these stainless screws to fasten into aluminum enclosures or steel strut?
You can, but watch the corrosion risk. Fastening 18-8 stainless parts to aluminum or steel can set up a galvanic couple in some environments, which attacks the softer metal around the screw. Indoors and dry, that is rarely an issue. In wet, coastal, or washdown locations, isolate the joint or match the fastener metal to the substrate.
2) Is the Metallics JSTSP16 a self-tapping screw for sheet metal, or does it need a pilot hole?
It is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet point, which is the sharp-point sheet metal style that forms its own thread in thin gauge material. At 15 threads per inch, the coarse spacing is meant for sheet metal, not for machine threads. Thicker stock still wants a pilot hole sized to the screw's root diameter.
3) Do the Metallics JSTSP16 screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The JSTSP16 is not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, these will not satisfy it.
4) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JSTSP16 #8 tapping screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The JSTSP16 has a Phillips recess 0.169 to 0.182 inch in diameter and 0.108 inch deep, so a #2 driver seats properly without camming out. The screws are rated to 39 lb-in minimum torsional strength, which is the point where you should stop leaning on the impact driver.
5) Will a #8 pan head screw sit flush inside a device box or under a cover plate?
A pan head sits on top of the surface, not flush, so plan for the protrusion. The JSTSP16 head measures 0.306 to 0.322 inch across and 0.105 to 0.115 inch high. If you need the head buried, you want a flat or oval head instead, not this pan head.
6) What dimensional standards do these Metallics tapping screws conform to?
Head and recess geometry follow ASME B18.6.3-2013, and the thread form follows ASME B18.6.4. That is the combination a spec writer or submittal reviewer looks for on a sheet metal screw.
7) How are the Metallics JSTSP16 screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They come in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum. Useful to know if you are stocking a service van or an MRO crib rather than buying for a single opening.
