Metallics JRBWS01 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and type of screw is the Metallics JRBWS01?
It's a #6 x 3/8 inch round head slotted wood screw in brass, sold under part number JRBWS01. The #6 is the gauge (shank diameter) and 3/8 inch is the length under the head, so it's a short fastener meant for thin material or shallow pilot holes, not for structural anchoring.
2) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JRBWS01?
100 screws per jar. The jar pack is the standard unit, so ordering one gets you 100 of the #6 x 3/8 brass wood screws rather than a single piece.
3) Are these brass screws solid brass or brass-plated steel?
The JRBWS01 is specified as brass (BR). Brass is non-magnetic and non-sparking, which is why electricians reach for it on cover plates, terminal boards, and anywhere a steel screw would corrode or interfere. It's also softer than steel, so drive it with a hand screwdriver and a pilot hole rather than an impact driver.
4) What's the difference between a round head and a flat head wood screw for this kind of work?
The JRBWS01 is round head, which means it seats on top of the surface and needs no countersink. Use it where the material is too thin to countersink or where you want the head to act as a clamp over a strap, clip, or thin plate. If the fastener has to finish flush, you want a flat head screw with a countersunk hole instead, not this one.
5) Can I use these brass wood screws in metal or masonry?
No. It's a wood screw thread, cut for wood and similar soft materials, and brass is too soft to tap into steel or hold in masonry. For sheet metal use a sheet metal or self-drilling screw; for masonry you need an anchor plus the matching screw.
6) Is the JRBWS01 a good screw to stock for MRO and electrical repair carts?
That's exactly what the jar of 100 is for. Metallics catalogs it in its electrical supplies line as a fastener, and the #6 x 3/8 brass round head slotted size is a common small-repair screw for trim, plates, and clips. Buying by the jar keeps one bin stocked rather than chasing loose pieces.
