Metallics JRM109SLT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 12-24 machine screw thread into a standard electrical box or device ring?
Yes. 12-24 is the thread used on steel outlet box and device ring mounting holes, and the Metallics JRM109SLT is a 12-24 screw with 24 threads per inch. At 5/8 inch long it gives enough reach for a box ear or a plaster ring without bottoming out in shallow prep.
2) Will a round head slotted screw sit flush, or does the head stand above the surface?
It stands above. The JRM109SLT has a round head measuring 0.139 to 0.153 inch in height and 0.382 to 0.408 inch across, so it bears on top of the material rather than sinking in. If you need the head to disappear into a countersunk hole, you want a flat head screw instead, not this one.
3) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JRM109SLT?
They ship 100 to a jar, and 100 count is the order minimum. That is the pack an electrician keeps on the truck for box and ring mounting rather than buying loose.
4) Are zinc plated steel machine screws okay outdoors or in damp locations?
These are steel with a zinc finish, which handles dry interior work and occasional damp without issue. For wet locations, exterior boxes, or coastal and chemical exposure, go to a stainless machine screw of the same 12-24 x 5/8 size, since zinc plating wears through and the steel underneath will rust.
5) How strong are these screws, and can I torque them down hard?
Minimum tensile strength is 60,000 psi with a hardness of Rockwell B70 to B100, made from AISI 1006 to 1022 low carbon steel. That is a standard unhardened commercial machine screw: fine for clamping devices, covers, and straps, but it is not a graded structural fastener, so do not substitute it where a drawing calls for a Grade 5 or Grade 8 bolt.
6) Do these Metallics screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
The JRM109SLT carries both ARRA and Buy American compliance designations in its product record, while the screws themselves are manufactured in China. On a federally funded project, confirm which standard your specification is written to, because the two are applied differently.
7) What is the shipping weight of a jar of these 12-24 screws?
A jar of 100 comes in at 0.87 lbs, with the package measuring 3 by 3 by 2.15 inches. Useful if you are building out a stock order of several thread sizes and watching parcel weight.
