Metallics JTMP32 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 10-24 x 1/2 machine screw thread into a standard electrical box or device ring?
Yes, 10-24 is the standard tapped thread in steel outlet boxes, mud rings, and enclosure covers in North America, so the JTMP32 threads straight into existing 10-24 holes. It is a machine screw, so it needs a tapped hole or a nut, not sheet metal or a pilot hole in bare drywall.
2) Are the JTMP32 screws steel or stainless, and will they hold up in a damp location?
These are zinc plated steel, not stainless. The zinc plating handles normal dry indoor panel, box, and raceway work. For wet, outdoor, or corrosive locations, specify a stainless machine screw of the same 10-24 x 1/2 size instead.
3) Why use a truss head screw instead of a pan or round head in an electrical enclosure?
A truss head is wider and lower in profile than a pan head, so it spreads bearing area over an oversized or slotted hole and sits closer to flush. That matters when you are fastening a cover, plate, or bracket over a hole larger than the screw shank, or where clearance behind a panel cover is tight. The JTMP32 gives you that head form in 10-24 x 1/2 with a Phillips drive.
4) Is a 1/2 inch screw long enough, or do I need a longer 10-24?
A 1/2 inch length covers the usual case: a cover, plate, or bracket fastened into a tapped hole with only the material thickness to pass through. If you are stacking spacers, extension rings, or thicker mounting plates, the 1/2 inch will bottom out on threads before it clamps, and you want a longer 10-24 machine screw. Same thread, just more shank.
5) What is the exact part number to order Metallics truss head 10-24 x 1/2 screws?
Order Metallics part number JTMP32. That is the single catalogue number for the 10-24 x 1/2 truss head Phillips zinc plated steel machine screw in the 100 count jar, so there is no finish or length option to specify with it.
6) How many Metallics JTMP32 screws come in a jar?
100 screws per jar. The jar pack is what makes this a van-stock item for electricians, 10-24 x 1/2 truss head Phillips being the common ground screw and cover screw size, and the lid keeps loose screws contained in a gang box or service truck bin.
