Metallics JTMP18 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Why pick a truss head instead of a pan or flat head screw?
A truss head is wider and lower in profile than a pan head, so it spreads the bearing surface over a larger hole or softer material and sits closer to flush. That makes the JTMP18 a good pick where the hole is oversized or slotted. If the application calls for a countersunk finish flush with the surface, use a flat head screw instead, since a truss head stands proud.
2) Are these zinc plated screws suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
The JTMP18 is steel with zinc plating, which is a general indoor and dry-location finish. Zinc gives light corrosion resistance but it is not a marine or sustained-wet finish, so for exterior, washdown, or coastal work specify a stainless 8-32 screw instead.
3) Is the JTMP18 a machine screw or a self-tapping sheet metal screw?
Machine screw. The 8-32 thread is a straight, uniform machine thread that requires an existing tapped hole or a nut; it will not cut its own threads in sheet steel. If you are fastening into unthreaded metal, you need a self-drilling or sheet metal screw rather than this one.
4) How does the Metallics JTMP18 come packaged, and how many are in it?
It ships as a jar of 100 screws, which is the shop or van-stock pack rather than a bulk box. Handy if you want one container of 8-32 x 3/8 truss heads on the truck instead of a loose bag.
