Metallics JRM32SB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a 10-24 x 1/2 round head slotted screw to mount a device or cover in an electrical box?
Yes, that's the common use. Steel outlet and switch boxes, device ears, and plaster rings are tapped 10-24 at 1/2 inch is the usual working length for pulling a receptacle, switch, or box cover tight. The JRM32SB is sold as an electrical fastener for exactly that work, and the slotted round head takes a standard flat blade.
2) Will a 10-24 screw thread into a 6-32 hole in a switch box?
No. 6-32 and 10-24 are different threads and are not interchangeable, so forcing a JRM32SB 10-24 screw into a 6-32 hole will strip it. Device mounting ears on receptacles and switches are 6-32; the 10-24 holes are the ones used for box covers, mounting brackets, plaster rings, and grounding. Check which hole you're filling before you order.
3) How many screws come in a jar of the Metallics JRM32SB?
One hundred screws per jar. The JRM32SB is packed as a jar rather than loose or bulk boxed, which is the handy count for a service van or a shop bench drawer.
4) Is the JRM32SB a machine screw or a self-tapping sheet metal screw?
A machine screw. It has a uniform 10-24 machine thread running its 1/2 inch length and needs a pre-tapped hole or a nut, it will not cut its own thread in sheet steel. If you're fastening into an unthreaded hole, you want a self-tapping sheet metal screw or a sheet metal screw with a nut instead.
5) What driver do I need for the Metallics JRM32SB screw?
A flat blade screwdriver. The head is slotted round head, so no Phillips or square drive is involved, which is why these are a favourite for field work where an electrician's standard flat blade handles everything. The round head seats on the surface rather than countersinking, so you don't need a chamfered hole.
