Metallics JFWP17 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a #8 x 1/2 inch flat head wood screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
Yes, if the hole is countersunk. The JFWP17 has a flat head measuring 0.292 to 0.332 inch across with a 0.100 inch head height, so it seats flush in a matching countersink. On a flat, un-countersunk surface the head will stand proud by that 0.100 inch. Hardware with factory countersunk screw holes (strike plates, hinge leaves, cover plates) takes it flush.
2) Is a 1/2 inch wood screw long enough to hold into a wood door or jamb?
At 1/2 inch overall length, the JFWP17 is a thin-material screw. It is meant for mounting plates, straps, clips and trim to wood where you only have about 1/2 inch of bite, and because it is too short to carry the minimum thread length the threads run as close to the underside of the head as practical, so nearly the whole shank grips. For anything structural or security related in a jamb, step up to a longer screw.
3) Do these screws meet a recognized dimensional standard for government or institutional specs?
Yes. The JFWP17 is built to ASME B18.6.1 for dimensions, with threads to ASME B18.6.1-1997. It is also flagged ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. That combination is what most public-agency and institutional submittals ask for on a fastener line item.
4) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JFWP17 wood screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The JFWP17 is a Phillips drive screw, and the recess runs 0.191 to 0.204 inch diameter with a 0.113 to 0.136 inch depth, which is standard #2 territory. Using a #1 will cam out and chew the recess.
5) Does the Metallics JFWP17 need a pilot hole?
It has a tapered point with 15 threads per inch, so it will start in softwood without one. In hardwood, oak trim or near an edge, drill a pilot to avoid splitting. The tapered point is a wood-screw gimlet style point, not a self-drilling point for metal.
6) Are zinc plated steel wood screws okay for outdoor or damp locations?
The JFWP17 is zinc plated steel, which is a coating for indoor and dry-location corrosion resistance. For exterior trim, wet rooms, coastal work or pressure treated lumber, specify stainless rather than zinc plated steel.
7) Can I use the JFWP17 wood screw to fasten into metal studs or sheet metal?
No. It is a wood screw with a tapered point and 15 TPI coarse wood thread, so it is intended for wood and wood-composite substrates. For steel studs or sheet metal, use a self-drilling or sheet metal screw instead.
8) How do the Metallics JFWP17 wood screws come packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar, with a minimum order of 100 count. Listed weight for the jar is 0.31 lbs. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
