Metallics JPMP45BR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 2 inch long 10-24 screw be too long for mounting a device in a standard box?
Two inches is longer than what a flush-mounted receptacle or switch needs. The 10-24 x 2 length is for reaching through fixture canopies, extension rings, mud rings stacked on a box, or spacers where the device sits well off the box ears. For a straight device-to-box mount, a shorter 6-32 or 8-32 screw is the normal choice.
2) Does a 10-24 screw thread into standard electrical box mounting holes?
No. Electrical box and device mounting holes are tapped 6-32 or 8-32, not 10-24. The 10-24 x 2 brass screw is for fixture hardware, straps, brackets, and ground lugs tapped for #10 coarse thread. Check the tapped hole before you order so you don't try to force a #10 into an 8-32 boss.
3) Are these brass screws or plated steel?
The JPMP45BR is a brass machine screw, which is what the BR suffix in the part number marks. Brass is the usual choice where you want corrosion resistance or a non-magnetic, non-sparking fastener rather than a plated steel screw.
4) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JPMP45BR?
Each jar holds 100 of the 10-24 x 2 inch brass pan head screws. The jar pack is the shop-counter quantity, so one order covers a truck stock bin rather than a single device.
5) What drive bit do I need for these Metallics pan head screws?
A Phillips bit, per the PH in the part description. On a #10 pan head that's typically a #2 Phillips. Brass is softer than steel, so seat the bit fully and keep torque down to avoid chewing the recess.
6) Can brass machine screws be used for a grounding connection?
Brass is a conductive, non-ferrous fastener material, and that's a common reason electricians keep brass machine screws like the 10-24 x 2 on hand. Whether it's acceptable for a particular bonding connection depends on the lug or enclosure manufacturer's instructions for that device, so match the screw to what the lug is tapped and listed for.
