Metallics JSS51612SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a cup point set screw do differently from a flat or cone point?
A cup point bites into the mating shaft or bar and leaves a small ring-shaped indent, which gives strong holding on a round shaft without needing a pre-drilled spot. Flat point is the one to use when you don't want to mar the shaft or when you're clamping against an already flat seat; cone point is for permanent location into a drilled detent. The JSS51612SS is the cup point version at 5/16-18 x 1/2.
2) How many set screws come in a jar of the Metallics JSS51612SS?
100 pieces per jar. Metallics supplies this 5/16-18 x 1/2 cup point socket set screw in jar packaging, which is the typical bench or service-truck quantity for a fastener you consume a handful at a time on grounding lugs, clamps and collars.
3) Is the JSS51612SS stainless steel, and is it suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
Yes, the JSS51612SS is a stainless steel set screw, so it holds up in wet and outdoor electrical work far better than a plain or zinc-plated screw. Stainless is also the right choice when the mating body is stainless or aluminum and you want to avoid a galvanic mismatch at the joint.
4) What tool do I need to drive the JSS51612SS?
It's a socket (internal hex) set screw, so it takes a hex key rather than a screwdriver or wrench, driven down inside the tapped hole until the point seats. There is no external head on a socket set screw, which is why it can be run flush or below the surface of a hub or collar.
5) What is the exact part number to order this Metallics 5/16-18 set screw?
Order it as Metallics JSS51612SS. That number covers the 5/16-18 x 1/2 cup point socket set screw in stainless, jar of 100, and it's the single model offered under that designation, so there are no finish or length options to pick at the order line.
