Metallics GSH19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics GSH19 green ground screw thread into a standard steel outlet box?
Yes. The GSH19 is an 8-32 machine screw, which is the thread standard tapped into the grounding hole of steel device and outlet boxes. Length is 5/16 inch, so it seats in the box boss without bottoming out or protruding into the wiring space.
2) Why is this ground screw green, and does the color matter for inspection?
Green is the identification color for equipment grounding in US electrical work, and the GSH19 carries a green finish over zinc plated steel so an inspector can see at a glance that the screw in the box boss is the bonding screw and not a random mounting screw. It is the normal choice for bonding a box, pigtail, or device ground.
3) Is the 5/16 inch length long enough to catch the threads in a box ground hole?
Yes for a tapped box boss, which is the normal application. The 5/16 inch length engages the few tapped threads in the boss while clamping the ground conductor under the washer head. If you are running through a thicker bracket or stacking multiple lugs, step up to a longer 8-32 instead.
4) How many ground screws come in a box of Metallics GSH19?
They ship 100 to a box, which is the quantity electrical contractors and MRO stockrooms buy for rough-in work where every steel box needs a bonding screw. Pack type is a box, not a bulk bag or carded pack.
5) Can I use the GSH19 to attach a device or cover plate instead of grounding?
You can, mechanically, since it is a standard 8-32 x 5/16 machine screw, but the green head marks it as a grounding screw. Using green screws for general device or plate mounting confuses the next electrician in the box. Pick a plain zinc 8-32 for mounting and keep the green ones for bonding.
