Metallics GSH22 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics GSH22 ground screw thread into a standard steel outlet box grounding hole?
Yes. The GSH22 is a 10-32 thread ground screw, which is the thread size tapped into the grounding hole of standard steel device and outlet boxes. Length is 3/8 inch, long enough to pick up the tapped hole and clamp a bare copper equipment grounding conductor without bottoming out in a shallow box.
2) Is the GSH22 the right screw for bonding a ground pigtail in a metal box, or do I need a ground clip?
Use the GSH22 when the box has a tapped 10-32 grounding hole, which is the normal case on steel device boxes. A ground clip is the alternative where there is no tapped hole and you need to bond the conductor to the edge of the box or to a plaster ring. Both do the same job; the screw is the cleaner connection when the hole is there.
3) Why is this grounding screw green, and does the color matter for inspection?
The green head is the standard identification for equipment grounding hardware, so an inspector or the next electrician can see at a glance that the screw in that hole is the ground connection and not a mounting screw. The GSH22 is green coated steel with a zinc plated body underneath.
4) How many ground screws come in a box of Metallics GSH22?
The GSH22 ships 100 screws to a box, which is the practical buy for an electrical contractor or an MRO crib stocking a device-box rough-in. Pack type on record is Box.
5) What driver do I need for the GSH22 ground screw?
It is a QD T-23 head, meaning a quick-drive combination head that takes a slotted driver or a #2 square recess bit, so it drives off a cordless screwgun rather than by hand. No separate adapter is needed.
6) Can I use the Metallics GSH22 to mount a device or a cover plate?
No. It is a 3/8 inch grounding screw, not a device mounting screw. Receptacle and switch mounting into a steel box uses longer 6-32 screws, and cover plates use 6-32 as well. Keep the green 10-32 for the ground connection only.
7) What is the Metallics part number to reorder these green ground screws?
Order by Metallics GSH22. That is the manufacturer part number for the 10-32 x 3/8 inch green zinc plated steel ground screw, 100 per box.
