Metallics JSS3812SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the JSS3812SS set screw stainless steel, and can it be used outdoors or in damp locations?
The JSS3812SS is an 18-8 stainless steel set screw. 18-8 is the common austenitic stainless grade used for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor service, which is why it gets specified for exterior grounding hardware, lugs, and damp-location enclosures rather than a plain steel screw.
2) What does cup point mean on this set screw, and when should I pick a different point style?
Cup point is the standard general-purpose tip: a hollowed, ringed end that bites into the shaft or bus it is tightened against and holds by digging in. That is what you want for a permanent or semi-permanent clamp on a round shaft, collar, or conductor. If you need to locate a part precisely without marring it, a flat point or a dog point is the better choice, and a cone point is used where you want maximum holding into a drilled spot. The JSS3812SS is cup point only.
3) How is the JSS3812SS set screw driven - does it take a hex key?
It is a socket set screw, so it is driven with an internal hex (Allen) key, not a screwdriver or a wrench on the head. The screw is headless, so it seats fully inside or flush with the tapped hole.
4) How many 3/8-16 x 1/2 stainless set screws come in a jar?
They ship 100 to a jar. That is the pack format for this Metallics item, so ordering one unit gets you 100 screws rather than a single piece - worth knowing if you only need a handful for one repair, and worth standardizing on if you are stocking a service truck or an MRO crib.
5) What part number do I order for the Metallics 3/8-16 x 1/2 stainless cup point set screw?
Order Metallics part number JSS3812SS. That single number covers the 3/8-16 x 1/2 inch 18-8 stainless socket set screw with cup point in the 100-piece jar - there are no finish or length variations under it.
