Metallics JSRM13112 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread is the Metallics JSRM13112 machine screw?
It's a 6-32 x 1-1/2 inch machine screw, so #6 diameter with 32 threads per inch and an inch and a half of length under the head. The 6-32 thread mates with standard #6-32 tapped holes and nuts, which is the thread used on most electrical device boxes, plates, and fixture straps.
2) Can I use a 1-1/2 inch 6-32 machine screw to mount devices in a deep or mud-ring box?
That's exactly where the extra length earns its keep. Standard device and plate screws are much shorter, so when a receptacle or switch has to reach back through a deep ring, spacers, or stacked plaster rings, the 1-1/2 inch length gives you the thread travel to pick up the box ears. Thread is the same 6-32, so it drops into the same tapped holes.
3) What head and drive does this Metallics 6-32 screw use?
Round head with a slotted drive, driven with a flat-blade screwdriver. The round head sits proud of the surface with a domed crown, so it is not a flush or countersunk fastener. If you need the head flat to the plate face, you want a flat head machine screw instead.
4) Should I use 316 stainless or plain zinc-plated 6-32 screws for an exterior job?
Zinc plating is a sacrificial coating and will rust out once it's breached, so for exterior, marine, or washdown work the 316 stainless screw is the right call because the corrosion resistance is in the base metal, not a finish. Keep plated steel for dry interior work. One caution with stainless: it galls on assembly, so drive it steadily rather than at high speed.
5) Is this a machine screw or a self-tapping sheet metal screw?
Machine screw, fully threaded to a uniform 6-32 pitch with a blunt end. It needs a tapped hole or a nut, it will not cut its own thread in sheet metal. For bare sheet with no tapped hole, use a self-drilling or sheet metal screw instead.
6) How does the JSRM13112 come packaged, and how many in a pack?
100 screws in a jar. The jar pack is handy for a service van or a shop bin where you're pulling a few at a time rather than opening a bulk box. For an MRO crib standardizing on 316 fasteners, it's a countable unit you can shelve as-is.
7) Will the JSRM13112 screw be magnetic on my driver tip?
Barely. 316 is austenitic stainless and essentially non-magnetic in the annealed condition, so a magnetic driver tip won't hold these reliably. Plan on starting them by hand or using a screw-holding slotted driver, especially overhead.
