Metallics JRMP45 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are these machine screws or self-tapping sheet metal screws?
Machine screws. The JRMP45 has a straight 12-24 machine thread meant to thread into an existing tapped hole, such as the factory-tapped ears on a steel box or a threaded bracket. It will not cut its own thread in plain sheet metal, so if you need to start a hole from scratch, use a self-drilling or sheet metal screw instead.
2) What head style and driver do the Metallics 12-24 x 1 machine screws take?
Round head with a Phillips recess, so you drive them with a Phillips bit or driver. The round head sits proud of the surface rather than pulling flush, which is what you want on box and bracket mounting, but it is not the screw to use where a countersunk flat head is called for.
3) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JRMP45?
100 screws per jar. Metallics packs them in a screw-top jar rather than a bag, which is why electricians keep them on the van or on the shop bench and pour out what they need for a day of device and cover work.
4) Is the Metallics JRMP45 screw steel or stainless, and is it plated?
Mild steel with a zinc plating. Zinc plated steel is the normal choice for interior, dry-location electrical work and for use inside enclosures. For wet, outdoor, or corrosive locations, specify a stainless fastener rather than zinc plated steel.
5) Will a 1 inch long 12-24 screw be too long for a standard device on a flush box?
For a device mounted straight to a flush steel box, 1 inch is longer than needed and the excess thread runs into the box. The 1 inch length on the JRMP45 earns its keep when you are shimming out a device, stacking a plaster ring or extension, or reaching through thick tile or panel finishes. For a plain flush mount, a shorter 12-24 screw is the cleaner fit.
