Metallics JFWP23 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a #8 x 2-1/2 in. flat head wood screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
Yes, if the countersink matches the head. The JFWP23 flat head measures 0.292 to 0.332 in. across with a head height of 0.100 in., so an 82-degree countersink sized for a #8 flat head brings it flush or slightly below the surface. Without a countersink the flat head will stand proud and split thin stock.
2) Do these wood screws need a pilot hole, or will they bite on their own?
The JFWP23 has a tapered point, not a self-drilling tip, so it starts on its own in softwood but wants a pilot hole in hardwood or near an edge. Thread count is 15 per inch over a 2-1/2 in. length, and on nominal lengths over 1 inch the thread runs about two-thirds of the screw, so the shank portion rides in the top member and pulls the joint tight.
3) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JFWP23 wood screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The JFWP23 is a Phillips drive screw with a recess diameter of 0.191 to 0.204 in., recess depth 0.113 to 0.136 in., and a 0.032 in. recess width, so a #2 tip seats fully without camming out.
4) Are zinc plated wood screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
Zinc plated steel is a dry-location finish. The JFWP23 is steel with a zinc plating, which handles interior framing, cabinet backing, strut and box mounting, but it will corrode in exterior exposure, in treated lumber, or in wet areas. For those, use a stainless or coated exterior-rated screw instead.
5) How many Metallics JFWP23 screws come in a pack, and can I buy just a few?
They ship in a jar of 100, which is the order minimum. There is no loose or small-count break on the JFWP23, so plan for the full jar per order.
6) Do these Metallics screws meet a recognized dimensional spec for submittals?
Head, thread and recess dimensions conform to ASME B18.6.1, with the thread specifically to ASME B18.6.1-1997. That is the standard a spec reviewer looks for on a tapping wood screw submittal.
7) What are these flat head wood screws typically used for on a job site?
Metallics lists the JFWP23 for the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades, which is where a #8 x 2-1/2 in. flat head gets used to anchor strut, hangers, backer boards, box brackets and device plates into wood framing. The flat head lets it countersink flush under a mounting plate rather than hold it off the surface.
