Metallics JFM33 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Metallics JFM33 10-32 machine screw thread into a standard electrical box or device ring?
The JFM33 is a 10-32 UNF machine screw with 32 threads per inch, cut to the ANSI/ASME B1.1 thread standard. That is the same 10-32 thread used for device mounting holes in outlet boxes, plaster rings and cover plates, so it threads into those tapped holes. At 1/2 inch long it suits mounting straps and covers rather than deep stack-ups.
2) Will the flat head on these 10-32 screws sit flush, and how big is the head?
Flat head, so it seats flush in a countersunk hole. Head width runs 0.333 to 0.362 in. and head height 0.098 to 0.116 in., dimensioned to ASME B18.6.3-1998. If the plate or bracket you are fastening has a flat countersink of roughly 82 degrees, the head drops in level with the surface; a plain drilled hole without a countersink will leave the head proud.
3) Do Metallics JFM33 machine screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The JFM33 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this screw will not satisfy it.
4) How many 10-32 x 1/2 in. Metallics screws come in a jar?
The JFM33 ships as a jar of 100, and the jar is the order minimum. If you need a different count or a different length in the FM and FMP series, other sizes and quantities are available by request.
5) Can I use these steel zinc screws outdoors or in a wet location?
Zinc-plated carbon steel is a dry-location finish. It handles indoor panel, box and fixture work, but in damp, exterior or washdown environments the plating sacrifices and the steel underneath will rust. For those openings specify a stainless machine screw in the same 10-32 x 1/2 in. size.
6) Is a 10-32 machine screw the same as a sheet metal or self-tapping screw?
No. A machine screw like the JFM33 has a uniform 32-pitch UNF machine thread meant to go into a pre-tapped hole or a nut, with no point to start its own thread. If you are fastening into bare sheet metal with only a drilled hole, you want a self-tapping sheet metal screw or you need to tap the hole 10-32 first.
7) How much does a jar of 100 Metallics 10-32 x 1/2 in. screws weigh?
A jar of the JFM33 comes in at 0.5 lbs, with the jar measuring 3 in. long by 3 in. wide by 2.15 in. high. Useful if you are loading a van bin or a service cart with several sizes.
