Metallics JSTPO2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the JSTPO2 screw stainless steel, and can it be used outdoors or in damp locations?
It is 18-8 stainless steel, the common austenitic grade used for general corrosion resistance. That makes it suitable for damp interior work, exterior covers, and coastal-adjacent jobs where a plated carbon steel screw would rust and stain the surface around the head. 18-8 is not a marine-immersion grade, so for constant salt-water contact a 316 fastener is the move.
2) Does the Metallics JSTPO2 need a pre-drilled hole, or does it cut its own thread?
The JSTPO2 is a Type S self-tapping sheet metal screw. It forms its own thread in a pilot hole in sheet metal, so you drill or punch a pilot and drive it, no tapping step. Type S has a blunt point rather than a drill tip, so it will not start its own hole in steel the way a self-drilling point does. In thin sheet or in an existing punched hole it drives straight in.
3) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JSTPO2?
Each jar holds 100 screws. The jar pack is the usual form for electrical MRO stock, meaning a van or shop shelf can keep #8 x 3/4 stainless oval head screws on hand for cover plates, device mounting, and box trim without opening a bulk box.
4) What is the Metallics part number to order for #8 x 3/4 stainless oval head sheet metal screws?
Order Metallics JSTPO2. That is the manufacturer part number for the #8 x 3/4 inch oval head Phillips Type S screw in 18-8 stainless, supplied 100 to a jar.
5) Will stainless Type S screws work for mounting electrical device plates and sheet metal enclosures?
That is the intended use. A #8 x 3/4 Type S screw threads into sheet metal enclosures, raceway covers, and strut or box flanges, and the 18-8 stainless body keeps the head from rusting where a plated screw would streak a finished cover. One caution: stainless screws gall when overdriven into stainless or aluminum, so drive them at low speed rather than hammering them home with an impact driver.
