Metallics JRBWS16 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Metallics JRBWS16 wood screw and how many come in a jar?
The JRBWS16 is a #8 by 1-1/2 inch round head slotted wood screw in brass, packed 100 to a jar. So one jar covers a full round of strap, clamp or box mounting without reordering mid-job.
2) Is the JRBWS16 a wood screw or a machine screw?
Wood screw. The JRBWS16 has a tapered, coarse wood-screw thread meant to cut into timber, plywood or wood blocking. It will not thread into a tapped 8-32 or 10-32 hole in a device box or mounting plate, so for metal you need a machine screw instead.
3) Do I need a Phillips or flat-blade driver for the JRBWS16 screws?
Flat blade. These are slotted round head screws, so a straight-tip screwdriver or a slotted bit is what seats them. Match the blade width to the slot to avoid chewing the soft brass head.
4) Why use brass wood screws instead of steel for electrical work?
Brass is non-magnetic and corrosion resistant, which is why it gets specified for mounting electrical devices, covers and straps where a rusting steel screw would stain or seize. The JRBWS16 is a brass #8 by 1-1/2 inch screw sold as an electrical fastener, not a structural one, so use it for device and hardware mounting rather than load-bearing framing.
5) Is the round head on these screws going to sit flush, or does it stand proud of the surface?
Round head screws seat on top of the surface, not in it. The JRBWS16 leaves a domed brass head visible, which is what you want for strap and clamp mounting but not for anything that has to finish flush. For flush seating you need a flat head screw in a countersunk hole.
