Metallics JFM152 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 10-24 machine screw thread into my existing device screw holes or threaded strap?
The Metallics JFM152 is a 10-24 UNC screw, 24 threads per inch, made to ANSI/ASME B1.1. That is the standard thread used on most wiring device mounting holes and threaded box straps, so it mates with any 10-24 tapped hole. If your hole is 10-32 (the other common machine screw thread in that diameter), this screw will not start in it.
2) Do these machine screws meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a government job?
Metallics lists the JFM152 as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, with country of origin China. If your contract language is strict domestic-melt-and-manufacture rather than the compliance category stated here, verify the clause against your spec before you submit it.
3) Why would I need a 5 inch long 10-24 screw instead of a standard 1 inch device screw?
At 5 inches of length, the JFM152 is for reaching through deep build-outs: stacked plaster rings, thick tile or stone finishes, furring, or extension rings that push a device well forward of the box. Standard device screws top out around an inch. If your device sits flush with the ring, this screw is far longer than you need.
4) Will a flat head slotted screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
Yes, that is what the flat head is for. The head measures 0.333 to 0.362 in. across with a head height of 0.098 to 0.116 in., so it seats fully into an 82 degree countersink and finishes flush with the surface. If your part has a flat, uncountersunk face, you want a pan or round head instead, since a flat head will not bear properly on it.
5) How much load will a 10-24 steel zinc machine screw take?
Minimum tensile strength on these is 1050 lb, with hardness at Rockwell B70-B100 and steel to AISI 1006-1022. That covers device mounting, cover plates, strap and bracket work. It is a low-carbon steel fastener, not a graded structural bolt, so do not substitute it where a drawing calls out a Grade 5 or Grade 8 value.
6) Are these zinc machine screws okay outdoors or in a wet location?
These are steel with a zinc finish, which is a mild corrosion coating meant for dry indoor and protected use. For exterior, damp, coastal or washdown environments, go to a stainless machine screw in the same 10-24 x 5 in. size instead; zinc plating will eventually rust through in standing moisture.
7) Do I have to buy the Metallics JFM152 in a full box, or can I get a few?
Order minimum is 100 count, supplied in a jar. It is sold as a bulk pack of 100 screws rather than loose pieces, which is how shops carrying it stock the size for repeat device work.
8) What standard do these flat head machine screws conform to for submittal purposes?
Head and body dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-1998, threads follow ANSI/ASME B1.1, and the steel is specified to AISI 1006-1022. Those three are usually enough to close out a fastener submittal on an electrical package.
9) How heavy is a jar of 100 of these 5 inch screws?
A 100 count jar of the 10-24 x 5 in. flat head screws comes in at 2.61 lbs.
