Metallics JFM10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 6-32 x 5/16 in. machine screw thread into standard electrical device boxes and switch plates?
6-32 is the standard thread used for device mounting in outlet and switch boxes, and the Metallics JFM10 is a 6-32 UNC screw with 32 threads per inch cut to ANSI/ASME B1.1. At 5/16 in. long it suits shallow taps like plaster ears, device yokes, and cover plates where a longer screw would bottom out or run past the tapped hole.
2) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JFM10, and can I buy fewer?
The JFM10 ships as a jar of 100 screws, and 100 count is the order minimum, so a jar is the smallest unit. The jar weighs 0.21 lbs. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities in the FM and FMP machine screw line by request.
3) Can I use these screws on a federally funded or government job with domestic preference requirements?
Metallics lists the JFM10 as ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, with China as the country of origin. If your contract runs on a Buy American Act domestic-preference clause, that compliance flag is the vendor's own designation, so match it against the specific clause in your contract before you submit it.
4) Is a zinc plated steel machine screw okay for outdoor or damp locations?
The JFM10 is zinc plated steel. Zinc gives corrosion resistance for dry interior work, electronics enclosures, and panel assembly, but plated carbon steel will eventually rust in wet or exterior locations. For damp, wet, or coastal installs, specify stainless machine screws in the same 6-32 x 5/16 size instead.
5) Will these machine screws work in a self-tapping application or in sheet metal without a tapped hole?
No. Machine screws like the JFM10 have a blunt, uniform UNC machine thread, so they need a pre-tapped hole or a nut to engage. For bare sheet metal with no tap, use a self-drilling or sheet metal screw, or tap the hole to 6-32 first with a #36 drill.
