Metallics JTM82 6-32 x 1-1/2 in. Truss Head Combo Receptacle Screws - Steel Zinc - Each

Yes. The Metallics JTM82 is a 6-32 machine screw, which is the standard thread for receptacle, switch, and device mounting holes in steel and plastic outlet boxes as well as device straps. The 1-1/2 inch length gives you reach when the device sits proud of the box because of thick drywall, tile, or stacked mud rings.

Either. It is a combo head, so the truss head carries both a slot and a Phillips recess. An electrician can drive it with whatever is already on the belt, and a stripped Phillips can usually still be backed out with a flat blade.

For a flush box with no extension, yes, it is longer than needed. The 1-1/2 inch length on the JTM82 is meant for deep-set situations: boxes recessed behind thick finishes, box extenders, multiple mud rings, or spacing a device forward. For standard flush work most installers reach for a shorter 6-32. Nothing stops you from running the long screw and leaving the excess behind the device, provided there is box depth for the tail.

These are steel with a zinc plating, which is a dry-interior finish. Zinc plate gives moderate corrosion resistance but it is not stainless. For exterior boxes, wet locations, or coastal and washdown environments, specify a stainless 6-32 device screw instead.

A truss head is wide and low, so it spreads bearing across the device yoke slot and sits closer to the flat than a round head. That matters when a cover plate goes over the device: a tall head can interfere. The JTM82 uses that truss profile.

They come in a jar, which is what you want for bench or van storage of a loose fastener like this. Easier to scoop a handful from than a flat pack, and it reseals.

Order it as Metallics JTM82. The number covers the 6-32 x 1-1/2 inch truss head combo receptacle screw in zinc plated steel.
