Metallics JSPMP38SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 10-32 machine screw thread into standard electrical box and device ears?
Yes. The Metallics JSPMP38SS is a 10-32 thread, 32 threads per inch, which is the thread size used for device mounting holes in outlet boxes, switch boxes, and plaster rings. At 2-1/2 inches long it is the length you reach for when the device has to stand off a deep mud ring or a stack of extension rings rather than sit flush.
2) Can I use these on a federally funded job with Buy American requirements?
No. The JSPMP38SS is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. For a project with domestic sourcing requirements in the contract, you need a fastener certified as domestically produced.
3) What driver do I need for these Phillips pan head screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess is a Phillips drive with a 0.192 inch recess diameter and a gaging depth of 0.089 to 0.113 inch, so a #2 seats fully. A #1 will cam out and a #3 will not bottom in the recess.
4) Can I use 18-8 stainless machine screws outdoors or in a damp location?
18-8 stainless is the usual choice for exterior and wet-location work where plated steel would rust out, and that is the material these pan head screws are made from. For coastal or chloride-heavy exposure, 316 is the step up from 18-8.
5) What dimensional standard do these Metallics machine screws meet?
They are built to ASME B18.6.3-2010, the standard for inch-series machine screws, with material to SAE. That is what lets you specify them against a drawing that calls out B18.6.3 head and recess dimensions rather than just a size.
6) How are these sold, and what is the minimum I can buy?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum. Shipping weight for the jar is 1.9 lbs. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
7) Will a machine screw like this hold in drywall or wood on its own?
No. A machine screw has a uniform straight thread and no point, so it needs a tapped hole, a threaded device ear, or a nut on the back side. For fastening into wood, drywall, or sheet metal without pre-tapped threads, you want a wood screw, self-drilling sheet metal screw, or an anchor instead.
8) What tensile strength can I count on from these stainless screws?
80,000 psi minimum, with hardness reported as Rockwell BBS-B9S. Metallics notes that tensile values for stainless machine screws are approximations, since there is no single performance standard for them. If a drawing calls out a graded strength value, a graded steel fastener is the correct specification rather than stainless.
