Metallics JGSH15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Metallics JGSH15 ground screw thread into a standard steel outlet box grounding hole?
Yes. The JGSH15 is an 8-32 machine screw, which is the thread standard tapped into the grounding boss of steel device and outlet boxes. Length is 3/8 inch, short enough that it bottoms in the boss rather than protruding into the wiring space.
2) Can I use these green ground screws to mount a device or a cover plate?
No. The JGSH15 at 3/8 inch is sized to land a grounding conductor in a box boss, not to hold a yoke or a plate. Device mounting screws are 6-32, and cover plate screws are typically 6-32 as well, so an 8-32 will not thread into either. Use the 8-32 green screw only for the equipment ground.
3) Why is the ground screw green instead of plain zinc?
The green head is the color code for equipment grounding. The JGSH15 is steel with a zinc plating and a green head finish, so an inspector or the next electrician can see at a glance that the conductor landed on it is the ground.
4) What kind of driver does the JGSH15 ground screw take?
It is a hex washer head (HWH) screw, so it drives with a nut driver or hex socket. The washer face spreads bearing on the box boss and helps hold the ground wire under the head. A slotted or combination driver is not the tool for it.
5) How many ground screws come in a jar of Metallics JGSH15?
100 screws per jar. The pack type is a jar rather than a carded pack, which is what you want on a rough-in where a jar lives in the van and gets drawn down box by box.
6) Is a zinc plated steel ground screw all right in a damp location box?
The JGSH15 is zinc plated steel, which is a dry and normally damp interior finish. For direct exposure to weather, standing moisture, or corrosive wash-down, specify a stainless grounding screw instead rather than relying on the zinc plate.
7) What is the Metallics part number to reorder the green 8-32 ground screw?
JGSH15 is the Metallics part number, and it covers the 8-32 x 3/8 inch green hex washer head ground screw supplied 100 to a jar. There is one configuration, so nothing else needs specifying on the order.
