Metallics JTRM88 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What drivers will fit the Metallics JTRM88 tri-drive machine screw head?
The JTRM88 round head is a tri-drive, so the same screw takes a flat blade, a Phillips bit, or a square (Robertson) bit. On a panel or device box where you are working one-handed, that means you drive it with whatever is already in the pouch instead of switching bits.
2) Will an 8-32 x 1-1/2 in. machine screw work for mounting devices in an electrical box?
8-32 is the standard machine thread for receptacle, switch, and cover mounting in steel device boxes, and the JTRM88 runs that thread at a 1-1/2 inch length. The long shank is for deep-set boxes, thick plaster rings, or stacked spacers where the short factory screw from the device runs out of thread.
3) Is the JTRM88 screw a machine screw or a self-tapping sheet metal screw?
It is a machine screw. The 8-32 thread is a uniform machine thread that goes into a tapped hole or a nut, not into bare sheet metal. If you need the screw to cut its own thread in unprepped metal, a machine screw is the wrong fastener for that hole.
4) Are zinc plated steel screws OK for outdoor or damp electrical work?
The JTRM88 is zinc plated steel. Zinc plating handles indoor and protected locations fine, but it is a sacrificial coating, so for direct weather exposure, wet locations, or coastal air you want stainless rather than zinc plated steel.
5) How do Metallics JTRM88 screws come packaged for shop stock?
They ship in a jar, 100 screws per jar. That is a sensible MRO or van-stock quantity for 8-32 device screws, and the jar keeps them sorted on a shelf instead of loose in a bin.
6) Are the Metallics 8-32 tri-drive machine screws made in the USA?
Yes. The JTRM88 8-32 x 1-1/2 inch round head tri-drive machine screw is made in the USA, which matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements.
7) Why pick a round head screw over a flat or pan head for panel work?
The round head on the JTRM88 sits proud of the surface with a domed crown, so it bears on the face of the part rather than needing a countersunk hole. Use a flat head instead when the fastener has to finish flush with the surface.
