Metallics GSH20500 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is 3/8 inch long enough for a ground screw in a metal box?
For a straight bond to a tapped hole in a steel box or bracket, 3/8 inch of 10-32 thread gives plenty of engagement while leaving head clearance under the device. Where you are stacking a bonding jumper plus a thick lug or going through a plaster ring and into the box wall, step up to a longer 10-32 ground screw so you keep full thread engagement past the stack.
2) Ground screw vs. a regular 10-32 machine screw for bonding a metal box, does it matter?
It matters. A ground screw like the GSH20500 is supplied for the bonding connection specifically, and the hex washer head lets you torque it down hard and captures the conductor against the box. A general purpose machine screw of the same 10-32 thread may not give you the same bearing surface under the head, and grounding screws are meant to be used for grounding only, not to mount devices or plates.
3) How do I order the Metallics ground screw by part number?
Order it as Metallics GSH20500. That single model covers the 10-32 x 3/8 hex washer head ground screw, so there is no length or finish option to specify with it.
