Metallics JRBWS17 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JRBWS17?
Each jar holds 100 of the #8 x 1-3/4 inch brass round head wood screws. Metallics packs this one in a jar rather than a box, which is the format most electricians and maintenance techs keep on the truck for loose hardware.
2) Are the JRBWS17 screws solid brass, and will they work outdoors or in damp locations?
These are brass #8 x 1-3/4 wood screws. Brass is the reason people reach for this screw instead of a plated steel one: it will not rust in a damp or coastal location, and it will not react with brass or bronze hardware the way a steel fastener does. It is a softer metal than steel, so drill a pilot hole in hardwood rather than driving it dry.
3) Will a #8 wood screw fit through the standard mounting holes on an electrical box or strap?
A #8 shank is the size most box ears, straps and mounting brackets are punched for, so the JRBWS17 passes through without reaming. If your hardware is drilled for a #6, step down to a #6 wood screw instead of forcing this one; if it takes a #10, this will be loose in the hole.
4) What is the difference between a round head and a flat head wood screw for this application?
The JRBWS17 is round head, which means the head seats on top of the surface rather than sinking into it. That is what you want on sheet metal box ears, straps and clamps where there is no countersink to pull into. If the part you are fastening has a countersunk hole and you need the head flush, a flat head wood screw is the right choice instead.
5) Is the JRBWS17 slotted or Phillips drive?
Slotted. The JRBWS17 takes a flat blade screwdriver, not a Phillips or square drive. Worth knowing if you are matching existing hardware or driving by hand, since a slotted brass screw cams out easily under a power driver. Hand drive it or run the gun slow.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the brass 8 x 1-3/4 round head slotted wood screw?
JRBWS17 is the Metallics part number, covering the #8 x 1-3/4 inch brass round head slotted wood screw packed 100 to a jar. That is the number to quote when ordering or restocking.
