Metallics JTRM15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will an 8-32 x 3/8 in. Metallics tri-drive machine screw work for mounting device plates and switches in a standard electrical box?
8-32 is the machine screw thread used on standard outlet boxes, switch straps, and device yokes, and the Metallics JTRM15 is an 8-32 x 3/8 inch round head screw in zinc plated steel. The 3/8 inch length is short, so it suits mounting a device directly to a box ear or strap rather than reaching through thick stacked plaster rings.
2) What driver do I need for the Metallics JTRM15 tri-drive screws?
The head takes three drivers. It is a combination recess accepting a flat blade for the slot, a Phillips bit, or a square (Robertson) bit, so whatever is already on your belt will drive it. That is what tri-drive means on this screw.
3) Is the head on these 8-32 machine screws flat or rounded? I need it to sit flush.
Rounded. The JTRM15 has a round head, which crowns above the surface rather than sitting flush. If you need the head buried in a countersunk hole, a flat head 8-32 screw is the one to order instead.
4) Are Metallics JTRM15 screws okay for damp or outdoor locations?
These are zinc plated steel, which handles normal indoor and dry-location work. Zinc plating gives limited corrosion resistance, so for wet, coastal, or washdown environments go with a stainless 8-32 machine screw rather than a zinc plated one.
5) Can I use these as sheet metal or wood screws?
No. The JTRM15 is a machine screw with a uniform 8-32 machine thread, meant to thread into a tapped hole or a nut, not to cut its own thread in sheet metal or wood. For those substrates use a sheet metal or wood screw instead.
6) How are the Metallics JTRM15 machine screws packaged for shop or truck stock?
They come in a jar, which is how electricians usually keep loose device screws on the van or at the bench. Handy if you are restocking a fastener bin rather than buying for one job.
7) Are the Metallics JTRM15 screws made in the USA?
Yes, the JTRM15 8-32 x 3/8 inch round head tri-drive machine screws are USA made, which matters if you are working a job with domestic sourcing requirements on materials.
8) What is the Metallics part number I should order for 8-32 x 3/8 round head tri-drive screws?
Order Metallics JTRM15. That part number is the 8-32 x 3/8 inch round head tri-drive machine screw in zinc plated steel.
