Metallics JRM33F – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread is the Metallics JRM33F machine screw?
The JRM33F is a 10-32 x 1/2 inch machine screw with a Type F thread, round head and slotted drive. The 10-32 designation means a #10 diameter with 32 threads per inch, which is the common thread used for electrical box and device mounting.
2) What does a Type F thread screw do that a standard machine screw won't?
Type F is a thread cutting screw: the tip is slotted so it cuts its own mating thread as it drives into an unthreaded or partly formed hole in sheet metal. A plain 10-32 machine screw needs a tapped hole or a nut. If you are driving into an existing tapped 10-32 hole, either works; if you are driving into a drilled hole in a box or bracket, the Type F saves the tapping step.
3) Will a 10-32 x 1/2 inch round head slotted screw work for mounting devices and covers in a steel electrical box?
Yes for 10-32 prepped steel boxes and brackets. 10-32 is the standard thread for electrical box and device mounting hardware, and the 1/2 inch length suits mounting through a cover, strap or bracket into the box. The round head seats on the surface rather than countersinking, so do not use it where a flush or flat head is called for.
4) How many Metallics JRM33F screws come in a jar?
100 screws per jar. The jar pack is the shop or truck-stock format, so a single order gives you a hundred 10-32 x 1/2 inch screws rather than a strip or bag count.
5) Is the JRM33F a Phillips or slotted screw?
Slotted. The JRM33F takes a flat blade driver, not a Phillips. If your crews are standardized on Phillips or combo-head drive, specify a different head rather than this one.
6) Do I need a nut or tapped hole to use the Metallics JRM33F?
No nut is required when you are driving into sheet metal, because the Type F thread cuts its own mating thread in a correctly sized drilled hole. It will also thread into an existing 10-32 tapped hole. Nothing else ships with the screws; the jar of 100 is the fastener alone.
