Metallics JFWPB23 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many Metallics JFWPB23 brass wood screws come in a jar, and can I buy just a few?
The JFWPB23 ships as a jar of 100, and 100 is the minimum order quantity. If you only need a handful for one device plate or strike, you are still buying the full jar.
2) Will these brass screws sit flush in a countersunk hole?
Yes, they are flat head, so they seat flush in a countersink or a factory-countersunk plate. Head width runs 0.292 to 0.332 in. with a head height of 0.100 in., which is what you need to confirm against a pre-drilled escutcheon or cover plate hole.
3) Can I use these on a federal or Buy American job?
No. The JFWPB23 brass wood screws are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project has domestic sourcing language in the contract, these will not pass.
4) What size Phillips driver do I need for #8 x 2-1/2 in. Metallics brass wood screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess is 0.191 to 0.204 in. diameter and 0.113 to 0.136 in. deep, so a #2 seats fully. Brass is soft, so a #1 or a worn bit will cam out and strip the recess before the screw is home.
5) Are solid brass screws strong enough for structural fastening, or should I use steel?
Use steel for anything structural or load bearing. Brass is a soft, non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant material, and these are intended for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work where appearance and corrosion matter more than shear strength, such as cover plates, trim, and device mounting. For framing, blocking, or hanger support, go with a steel wood screw or lag.
6) Do these Metallics brass screws meet a recognized dimensional standard for inspection?
They are built to ASME B18.6.1, with the thread to ASME B18.6.1-1997. That is the wood screw standard, so head and thread geometry will match any spec or submittal calling out a B18.6.1 #8 flat head Phillips wood screw.
7) How much of a #8 x 2-1/2 in. Metallics wood screw is threaded?
It is a partial-thread wood screw: thread runs roughly two thirds of the length, leaving an unthreaded shank under the head. That shank is what lets the screw clamp two pieces together instead of jacking them apart, so the top member needs a clearance hole, not a pilot hole.
8) What is the part number and shipping weight for a jar of #8 x 2-1/2 in. brass flat head wood screws?
Metallics part number JFWPB23, JFWPB series. A jar of 100 weighs 1.05 lbs.
9) I need a different length or a larger quantity of these brass wood screws. Is that possible?
Other sizes and quantities in the JFWPB brass flat head Phillips wood screw line can be had by request. The JFWPB23 itself is fixed at #8 diameter, 2-1/2 in. long, in a 100-count jar.
