Metallics JFWP23SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are these #8 stainless wood screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
They are made from 18-8 stainless, which is the austenitic grade used where plain or zinc plated steel would rust, so exterior and damp interior work is the normal use. Stainless wood screws like these ship without any additional finish or coating. For direct saltwater exposure a 316 stainless fastener is the step up.
2) Are these stainless wood screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JFWP23SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic sourcing requirement, these will not satisfy it.
3) What size driver bit do I need for the Metallics JFWP23SS wood screws?
A #2 Phillips bit drives the JFWP23SS. The recess is a Phillips type measuring 0.191 to 0.204 inch in diameter, 0.113 to 0.136 inch deep, with a 0.032 inch recess width, so a #2 seats fully. A #1 will cam out and a #3 will not bottom in the recess.
4) Do these wood screws thread all the way to the head?
No. The JFWP23SS is a 2-1/2 inch screw, and at that length the thread runs roughly two thirds of the shank with a plain shoulder under the head. That unthreaded shank is what lets the screw pull two boards tight together when the top piece is drilled for clearance. Only very short wood screws in this series run thread right up to the head.
5) What thread pitch and point do these Metallics #8 screws have, and can I drive them without a pilot hole?
Thread count is 15 per inch with a tapered point, which is the traditional wood screw profile. The taper lets it start in softwood, but in hardwood or near an edge a pilot hole is needed, since 18-8 stainless is softer than hardened steel and the heads will twist off before the screw seats.
6) Do these screws meet a recognized dimensional standard for spec work?
Yes. The JFWP23SS is built to ASME B18.6.1, with threads to ASME B18.6.1-1997, which is the standard governing wood screw head, recess and thread dimensions. That is the reference to cite on a submittal when a drawing calls for standard wood screws.
7) How are the Metallics JFWP23SS screws packaged and what is the minimum I can buy?
They come in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum, so you buy by the jar rather than the piece. Jar weight is 1.05 lbs.
