Metallics GSH208M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics GSH208M ground screw thread into the tapped grounding hole in a steel outlet box?
Yes. The GSH208M is a 10-32 thread, which is the thread size used for the green tapped grounding hole in standard steel device and outlet boxes, so it runs straight into the box without tapping or drilling. Length is 3/8 inch, enough to engage the tapped hole and clamp a bonding pigtail under the head.
2) Is the GSH208M the right screw for bonding a pigtail to a metal box, or do I need a grounding clip?
Use the GSH208M when the box has a tapped 10-32 grounding hole, which is the usual case on steel boxes. A grounding clip is the part to reach for when you are bonding to a plaster ring or box edge that has no tapped hole, or where you need to bond a device yoke without using the tapped hole. The screw gives a threaded, re-openable connection; the clip is a press-on.
3) Can I use a 3/8 inch long 10-32 ground screw for a device mounting screw instead?
Not a good substitute. At 3/8 inch the GSH208M is sized for threading into a box grounding hole, not for reaching through a device yoke and plaster ring into the box ears, where longer 6-32 or 8-32 machine screws are what the job calls for. Keep this one for bonding only.
4) What is the exact part number to order the Metallics 10-32 ground screw?
Order Metallics part number GSH208M. That covers the 10-32 x 3/8 hex washer head CD ground screw as a single configuration, so there is no finish, length, or head option to specify with it.
