Metallics JRM90SLT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JRM90SLT 8-32 screws thread into standard electrical device boxes and fixture straps?
Yes. The JRM90SLT is an 8-32 machine screw with 32 threads per inch, which is the standard thread used for device mounting in outlet boxes, switch boxes, and fixture straps. At 2-1/2 inches long it is for deep-set situations, running a device out through thick plaster rings, tile, or multiple mud rings rather than a flush box.
2) Will a round head slotted machine screw sit flush under a device plate?
No, and it is not meant to. The JRM90SLT has a round head, which sits proud of the surface with a domed profile measuring 0.287 to 0.309 inch across and 0.107 to 0.12 inch high. If you need the head buried flush in a countersunk hole, you want a flat head screw instead. On a standard device yoke the round head is fine, since the cover plate hides it.
3) Do the Metallics JRM90SLT screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
The JRM90SLT is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American in the manufacturer's data, with country of origin listed as China. If your contract language is stricter than the compliance flag, verify against the specific clause on your spec before you submit it.
4) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JRM90SLT?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum. If you only need a handful for one deep box, you are still buying the full jar, which is normally the way these move for a service truck or MRO stockroom.
5) Are these Metallics machine screws okay for outdoor or damp locations?
These are carbon steel with a zinc finish, so they give basic corrosion resistance for dry interior and protected work. For wet locations, coastal exposure, or anywhere washdown chemicals are involved, go to a stainless 8-32 instead. Zinc plating on steel will eventually bloom white rust in standing moisture.
6) How strong are these 8-32 screws, and what steel are they made from?
The JRM90SLT is made to AISI 1006 to 1022 low carbon steel with a minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi and a hardness of Rockwell B70 to B100. That is standard commercial machine screw grade, right for mounting devices, covers, straps, and light brackets. It is not a structural fastener, so do not substitute it where a graded bolt is called out on a drawing.
7) I need a different length or thread in the same Metallics round head slotted screw. Is that available?
The JRM series covers other sizes and quantities beyond the 2-1/2 inch 8-32, available by request. If you are standardizing a stockroom, it is worth pulling a range of lengths in the same 8-32 thread so one driver and one thread covers all your device work.
