Metallics JMHGG2PRO1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is a 2 inch #8 deck screw long enough for 5/4 decking?
At 2 inches of total length, the JMHGG2PRO1 gives you roughly an inch of bite into the joist under nominal 5/4 decking (about 1 inch actual thickness), which is the usual rule of thumb for a deck board fastener. For full 2x deck boards at 1-1/2 inches actual, you'd want a longer screw to get adequate penetration into the framing.
2) Can electricians use these Metallics deck screws for mounting boxes and strut backer boards?
Yes, and that's why Metallics carries it in its electrical line. A #8 x 2 inch flat head star drive screw is a common choice for fastening plywood backer boards, wood blocking, and surface-mounted enclosures to wood studs or joists. For masonry or metal stud attachment you need a different fastener, not a wood-thread deck screw.
3) How does the JMHGG2PRO1 screw come packaged for jobsite use?
These #8 x 2 inch star drive deck screws ship in a jar, which is the handier pack for a tool bag or cart than a loose box since it reseals and keeps the screws from spilling across the truck. Model number to order against is JMHGG2PRO1.
4) Do I need to countersink or pre-drill for this flat head screw?
The JMHGG2PRO1 has a flat head, so it is made to pull down flush rather than sit proud like a pan or hex washer head. In softwood decking and framing it generally seats itself; in dense hardwood or near a board end, pre-drilling and countersinking keeps the board from splitting and the head from mushrooming the surface.
