Metallics GSH21500 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 10-32 x 3/8 ground screw work in a steel outlet box ground hole?
Yes. The threaded hole in a steel device or outlet box is tapped 10-32, which is exactly what the GSH21500 is cut for. The 3/8 inch length gives enough thread engagement to bite the box wall while clamping a bare or green bonding conductor under the head.
2) What is a ground screw dog and how does it hold the wire?
The "dog" on the Metallics GSH21500 is the small tab or retaining feature under the head that captures the bonding conductor so the wire cannot spin out while you drive the screw. It is a grounding screw for bonding a ground conductor to a metal box or enclosure, not a general-purpose machine screw.
3) What part number do I order for the Metallics quick-draw ground screw?
Order Metallics GSH21500. That is both the model and the manufacturer part number for the 10-32 x 3/8 QD ground screw dog, and it is the only configuration offered under it.
4) Can I use this ground screw to bond a plastic or nonmetallic box?
No. The GSH21500 needs a tapped 10-32 hole in metal to develop thread engagement, so it is for steel boxes, metal enclosures, and metal device rings. In a nonmetallic box there is nothing to bond and nothing to thread into, so the ground conductors are spliced or pigtailed to the device instead.
