Metallics JHHMS85 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Metallics JHHMS85 machine screw thread into a standard 8-32 tapped hole in an electrical box or device?
Yes. The JHHMS85 is an 8-32 machine screw, 32 threads per inch, cut to the ANSI/ASME B1.1 unified thread standard, so it mates with any standard 8-32 tapped hole or 8-32 nut. That is the thread used on most device mounting ears, box ground screws and cover plate hardware.
2) Is the Metallics JHHMS85 a machine screw or a self tapping sheet metal screw?
It is a machine screw. The 8-32 thread is a uniform machine thread to ANSI/ASME B1.1 and it needs a tapped hole or a nut, it will not cut its own threads in sheet metal. If you are fastening into unthreaded enclosure steel, you want a self drilling or sheet metal screw, or drill and tap for 8-32 first.
3) Is the head on the Metallics 8-32 x 3/4 machine screw a hex head or a slotted head?
Both, in one head. The JHHMS85 has a hex head with a slot cut across it, so you can run it with a nut driver or socket and still back it out with a flat blade screwdriver when the driver will not reach. Head dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2002, the standard for machine screws.
4) Are these zinc plated steel screws OK for damp or outdoor electrical work?
The JHHMS85 is plated steel, zinc finish. Zinc plating handles indoor and protected locations well, and gives limited corrosion resistance in damp areas, but it is not stainless. For wet locations, coastal exposure or direct weather, specify a stainless 8-32 machine screw instead.
5) How many Metallics JHHMS85 screws come in a jar, and can I buy less than a full jar?
They ship 100 to a jar, and 100 count is the order minimum, so the jar is the smallest unit. The jar packaging is what makes these practical for a van or a shop bench, you scoop what you need instead of opening blister packs. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
6) Does the Metallics JHHMS85 meet Buy American requirements on a federally funded job?
The JHHMS85 is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American purposes on our record, which is what procurement on federally funded work typically asks for. Country of origin is China. If your specification requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than Buy American program compliance, confirm which standard the contract is written to.
7) What does a jar of 100 Metallics 8-32 x 3/4 screws weigh for shipping?
The packed jar weighs 245 g, and the container measures 3 in by 76.2 mm by 2.15 in. That matters for stocking carts and van bins more than for freight, it is a light single-hand item.
