Metallics GSH23 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Metallics GSH23 ground screw thread into the 10-32 hole in a standard steel outlet box?
Yes. The GSH23 is a 10-32 thread in a 3/8 inch length, which is the thread the grounding hole in a standard steel device or outlet box is tapped to. Thread it directly into the tapped boss at the back of the box and land your equipment grounding conductor under the head.
2) What does the green color on the GSH23 ground screw mean?
Green is the identification color for equipment grounding, so an inspector can see at a glance which screw is the bonding point. The GSH23 is a green steel screw with a zinc finish under the coating; the body is steel, not a soft alloy, so it takes torque from a driver without stripping the head.
3) Is 3/8 inch long enough, or do I need a longer ground screw?
3/8 inch is the usual length for bonding a single equipment grounding conductor to a tapped box boss or a bonding clip. If you are stacking a thick bonding jumper plus a pigtail, or reaching through a plaster ring or mud ring to the box behind it, go to a longer 10-32 ground screw instead; the GSH23 will bottom out before it clamps.
4) Can I use the GSH23 green ground screw to bond a metal cover or mounting bracket instead of a box?
Yes, anywhere there is a 10-32 tapped hole. Common uses are bonding a metal plate, a strut-mounted bracket, a panel chassis, or an equipment enclosure where the grounding conductor terminates under the head. What it is not is a self-tapping screw, so the hole has to already be tapped 10-32 or you need to tap it first.
5) How many ground screws come in a box of Metallics GSH23?
100 screws per box. That is the pack size for the GSH23, which is why electricians and MRO stockrooms buy it this way rather than by the handful; one box covers a full rough-in or sits in the truck as a consumable.
6) Is the GSH23 ground screw suitable for damp or outdoor locations?
The screw is steel with a zinc finish, which gives it ordinary corrosion resistance for dry and normally damp interior work. For wet locations, coastal exposure, or corrosive environments, specify a stainless 10-32 ground screw instead of the zinc-plated steel one.
7) What is the exact part number to order this Metallics green ground screw?
Order Metallics GSH23. That is the manufacturer part number for the 10-32 x 3/8 inch green hex washer head ground screw in steel with zinc finish, 100 per box. There is a single model on it, so there is no finish or size option to specify.
