Metallics JGSH19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JGSH19 green ground screw thread into a standard steel outlet box grounding hole?
Yes. The JGSH19 is an 8-32 thread screw, which is the thread tapped into the grounding hole of standard steel device and outlet boxes, so it drives straight into the box boss. Overall length is 5/16 inch, short enough to seat in a blind tapped boss without bottoming out and leaving the head proud.
2) Is this the right screw for bonding a ground wire to a metal box or a device yoke?
That is what it is built for. The JGSH19 is a green 8-32 ground screw, so it lands in the tapped grounding boss of a metal box or an accessory bracket to terminate the equipment grounding conductor. It is not a device mounting screw, and it is not a self-tapping screw, so the hole has to already be tapped 8-32.
3) Why is this ground screw green, and does the color matter for an inspection?
The green head is the visual identifier for the equipment grounding connection, which is how an inspector or the next electrician tells a grounding screw apart from a mounting or cover screw in the same box. The JGSH19 is finished green over zinc plated steel, so the color is on the fastener itself rather than a field-applied mark.
4) Is a 5/16 inch ground screw long enough, or should I get a longer one?
At 5/16 inch, the JGSH19 is sized for the normal case: a bare ground conductor clamped under the washer head into a tapped boss in a steel box. If you are stacking several conductors, a bonding jumper plus a pigtail, or going through the added thickness of a bracket or a raised cover, you want a longer 8-32 ground screw instead, since 5/16 inch will not leave enough engaged thread.
5) How many ground screws come in a jar of Metallics JGSH19?
100 screws per jar. The jar pack is the reason this one shows up on trim-out trucks and MRO shelves, since a screw this small gets lost in a bag, and the jar lets you set it on a box or in a pouch and pull one at a time.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the green 8-32 by 5/16 hex washer head ground screw?
Metallics JGSH19. That covers the 8-32 x 5/16 inch slotted hex washer head ground screw in green over zinc plated steel, supplied in a jar of 100.
