Metallics JFW85 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the head of a #8 flat head wood screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
Yes. The JFW85 is a flat head screw with a head width of 0.292 to 0.332 inch and a head height of 0.100 inch, so an 82 degree countersink sized for a #8 flat head will bring it dead flush or slightly below the surface. It is made to ASME B18.6.1, which is the dimensional standard countersink bits for wood screws are cut to.
2) Are zinc plated wood screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The JFW85 is steel with a zinc finish, which is a plating for dry interior and protected use. For sustained exterior exposure, treated lumber, or wet locations, go to a hot dip galvanized or stainless fastener instead. Interior trim, electrical device mounting, blocking and cabinet work are what this one is for.
3) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JFW85 #8 x 2-1/2 in. wood screws?
The JFW85 ships as a 100-count jar, and 100 is the order minimum. Packaging is a jar rather than a box, which is what you want for a bench or truck stock bin.
4) What screwdriver size fits the slot on a Metallics JFW85 wood screw?
The drive is a single slot, 0.045 to 0.054 inch wide and 0.029 to 0.045 inch deep. A #2 cabinet or keystone tip flat blade matched to that width will fill the slot; a blade wider than the head will mar the work and a narrow blade will cam out of a slot this shallow. These are hand-drive screws, not an impact driver fastener.
5) Do these Metallics wood screws qualify for Buy American or ARRA federal jobs?
The JFW85 is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA. Country of origin is China, so if your specification requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than the ARRA/Buy American compliance flag, verify against the project language before you submit.
6) What standard do Metallics JFW series wood screws meet?
Threads are made to ASME B18.6.1-1997 and the overall dimensions to ASME B18.6.1, the US standard for wood screws. That means head, slot and thread geometry interchange with any other B18.6.1 #8 wood screw, so a mixed-brand bin will still drive and countersink the same.
7) What does a jar of 100 of these #8 x 2-1/2 in. screws weigh for shipping?
A full jar runs 1.24 lbs. Light enough that MRO buyers typically stock several sizes of the JFW series on a shelf without worrying about shelf loading.
