Metallics JPMP21 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 6-32 x 2-1/2 in. machine screw thread into a standard electrical device box or plaster ring?
Yes. The Metallics JPMP21 is a 6-32 thread with 32 threads per inch, which is the standard machine screw thread used for device mounting in outlet boxes, plaster rings, and switch/receptacle straps. At 2-1/2 inches long it is the extra-length option for reaching back through deep mud rings, stacked rings, or thick wall build-ups where a stock 1-inch device screw runs out of reach.
2) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JPMP21?
These ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 is the order minimum. The jar weighs 0.83 lbs. If you need a different count or length, Metallics offers other sizes and quantities by request.
3) Are these machine screws made to a recognized dimensional standard?
The JPMP21 is manufactured to ASME B18.6.3-2010, the standard covering machine screw head and thread dimensions, so the head geometry and 6-32 thread interchange with any other screw built to that spec. Material is low carbon steel per AISI 1006 - 1022.
4) Can I use zinc plated machine screws outdoors or in a damp location?
Zinc plating on carbon steel is a mild corrosion barrier intended for dry indoor service. In wet, exterior, or washdown locations the plating will eventually give up and the steel underneath rusts. For those spots specify a stainless machine screw in the same 6-32 x 2-1/2 size.
5) Is the JPMP21 a machine screw or a self tapping sheet metal screw?
It is a machine screw, part of the Metallics PMP series. The 6-32 thread runs the full length with a blunt end, so it needs an existing tapped hole or a nut. It will not drill or form its own thread in sheet metal the way a self tapping screw does.
6) What is the tensile strength and hardness of these zinc plated steel screws?
Minimum tensile strength is 60,000 psi, with hardness in the Rockwell B70 to B100 range. That is standard low carbon steel machine screw strength, fine for device mounting, panel work, and enclosure hardware, not a substitute for a graded structural bolt.
7) Do these screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a public project?
The JPMP21 is flagged both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in the manufacturer's data, with country of origin listed as multiple. That matters on federally funded institutional and municipal work where fastener documentation gets reviewed.
