Metallics JRM98SB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics JRM98SB machine screw?
The JRM98SB is a 10-32 x 1 inch machine screw, round head with a slotted drive. The 10-32 thread is the standard machine screw thread used on electrical device boxes, plaster rings and fixture straps, so it threads into tapped box ears and mounting straps without a nut.
2) Will a 1 inch long 10-32 screw be too long for mounting a device to an outlet box?
One inch is longer than the 1/2 inch screws usually packed with a receptacle or switch. That extra length is what you want when you're going through a plaster ring, a mud ring, or stacked extension rings, or picking up a strap set back in the box. For a flush device straight into a box ear, the extra thread will simply run past the tapped ear into the box cavity, which is normally harmless but worth checking for wire clearance.
3) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JRM98SB?
Each jar holds 100 of the 10-32 x 1 inch round head slotted machine screws. Metallics supplies this item in jar pack, which is the handy-size container electricians keep on the truck or at the bench rather than a bulk box.
4) Is the JRM98SB a sheet metal screw or a machine screw?
It's a machine screw, not a sheet metal or wood screw. The threads run the full diameter at a constant 10-32 pitch and are meant to engage a pre-tapped hole or a nut, so it will not cut its own thread into unprepared metal or drywall.
5) Can I use these 10-32 screws to ground a pigtail to a metal box?
A 10-32 machine screw is the fastener electricians use in the tapped grounding hole of a steel box, and 10-32 is the thread that hole is cut to. The JRM98SB gives you that thread in a 1 inch length, which is more thread than a grounding screw typically needs, so for a dedicated ground screw you may prefer a shorter 10-32. For the grounding thread itself, this matches.
6) Does the JRM98SB need a Phillips driver?
No, it takes a flat blade. The head is slotted round head, so a standard straight tip screwdriver drives it. A round head seats proud of the surface rather than sitting flush like a flat or oval head would.
7) What is the exact part number to order the Metallics 10-32 x 1 round head slotted screw jar?
Order Metallics part JRM98SB. That number covers the 10-32 x 1 inch round head slotted machine screw supplied 100 to a jar.
