Metallics JSPMP78SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 6-32 x 1/4 in. pan head screw work for mounting device plates and switches in an electrical box?
6-32 is the standard thread for electrical device and cover plate mounting, and the Metallics JSPMP78SS is a 6-32 machine screw with 32 threads per inch intended for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. At 1/4 in. long it is short, so it suits shallow tapped holes and thin plates. If you are reaching through a thick plate or an added spacer, you will need a longer 6-32 screw instead.
2) Can I use these on a federally funded job with Buy American requirements?
No. The JSPMP78SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. For a job with domestic sourcing requirements you will need a domestically produced 6-32 fastener.
3) What driver do I need for these Phillips pan head machine screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The JSPMP78SS has a Phillips drive with a 0.159 in. recess diameter and a recess penetration gaging depth of 0.055 to 0.080 in., so a #2 tip seats fully without camming out.
4) How much clearance does the pan head take up, and will it sit low enough under a cover plate?
Head height runs 0.087 to 0.097 in. and head width 0.256 to 0.270 in. That is a low-profile round-top pan head, so it clears most cover plates and brackets, but it is not flush. If your hole is countersunk and you need the head buried, use a flat head screw instead.
5) Are these stainless screws OK for damp or outdoor locations?
These are 18-8 stainless, the common austenitic grade used where plated steel would rust, so they hold up in damp interior and general exterior conditions better than a zinc-plated screw. For salt spray or pool chemical exposure, a 316 stainless fastener is the better call.
6) Do these screws meet a dimensional spec I can put on a submittal?
Head, drive and thread dimensions conform to ASME B18.6.3-2010, with material called out to SAE. Tensile strength is listed at 80,000 psi minimum, though stainless machine screw strength figures are approximations since there is no single performance standard for them.
7) Will a machine screw like this thread into sheet metal or drywall?
No. A 6-32 machine screw has a straight machine thread and needs a pre-tapped hole or a mating nut, which is why it works in device boxes, brackets and enclosures with tapped bosses. For bare sheet metal use a self-tapping sheet metal screw; for drywall use an anchor.
8) How are the Metallics 6-32 x 1/4 in. stainless machine screws packaged and what is the minimum I can buy?
They come in a jar of 100, which is the order minimum. Shipping weight on the jar is 0.22 lbs.
