Metallics JTMP98 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 10-32 x 1 inch machine screw work for mounting devices in a box with an extension ring?
That is the situation the 1 inch length is for. Standard device screws supplied with a receptacle or switch are short, and once you add an extension ring, a deep mud ring or a stack of spacers, there isn't enough thread left to engage the box. A 10-32 x 1 truss head like the JTMP98 picks up the same threaded hole with the extra reach.
2) Is the Metallics JTMP98 screw corrosion protected for damp locations?
The JTMP98 is zinc plated steel, which handles normal indoor and dry-location work and resists surface rust in occasional damp conditions. For sustained wet, exterior or corrosive environments, zinc plating is not the right choice, and you should specify a stainless 10-32 machine screw instead.
3) Can I use the Metallics JTMP98 as a ground screw in a steel box?
The thread matches. Grounding holes in steel boxes are tapped 10-32, so a 10-32 machine screw threads in. Note that it is a plain zinc plated truss head screw, not a green-painted hex ground screw, so if your inspector or spec calls for an identified green grounding screw, order that instead.
4) Is the JTMP98 a machine screw or a sheet metal screw?
Machine screw. The JTMP98 has a uniform 10-32 machine thread, so it needs a tapped hole or a nut. It will not cut its own thread in sheet steel the way a self-tapping sheet metal screw does, so for untapped sheet you want a #10 sheet metal or self-drilling screw rather than this.
5) What is the Metallics part number to reorder these truss head screws?
JTMP98 is the Metallics part number for the 10-32 x 1 zinc plated steel truss head Phillips machine screw in the 100-count jar.
