Metallics GSH20 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use this green screw to attach a bonding jumper to a metal box or a panel?
That is what it is for. The 10-32 x 3/8 green hex washer head screw clamps a pigtail or bonding jumper under the washer face into the tapped ground hole of a metal box, cover, or enclosure boss. For anything larger than a 10-32 tapped hole, such as a panel ground bar lug, you need a different fastener size.
2) Why is the ground screw green instead of plain zinc?
The green color is the electrical trade convention for the equipment grounding conductor and its hardware, so an inspector or the next electrician can see at a glance which screw is the bond point. The GSH20 is a steel screw with a zinc plating and a green cadmium finish on the head.
3) Does the Metallics GSH20 ground screw have a hex head or a slotted head?
It is a hex washer head (HWH), so it drives with a 5/16 inch nut driver or socket rather than a screwdriver. The integral washer face spreads the clamping load on the box boss, which is what holds the bonding jumper tight. If you need a slotted or combo head to reach a screw in a crowded box, this is not the one.
4) Will a 3/8 inch long ground screw be too short for a deep box boss?
The 3/8 inch length is sized for the shallow tapped boss found in standard steel boxes and plaster rings, and it leaves room for a jumper under the head. If your enclosure has a thicker boss or you are stacking several conductors and a lug under the head, you will want a longer 10-32 ground screw instead, since the GSH20 only comes in 3/8 inch.
5) How many ground screws come in a box of Metallics GSH20?
They ship 100 per box, packaged as a box rather than a carded or bulk pack. That quantity suits a rough-in crew bonding a full floor of device boxes or an MRO stockroom keeping a bin on the shelf.
6) Is the Metallics GSH20 the same part number I should order to restock a green ground screw bin?
Order by manufacturer part number GSH20 from Metallics. It is a single configuration, 10-32 x 3/8 green hex washer head, so there is no finish or length choice to specify.
