Metallics JOHP82 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread is the Metallics JOHP82 machine screw?
The JOHP82 is a 6-32 x 1 inch machine screw, so it's a #6 diameter with 32 threads per inch and a 1 inch length. It takes a 6-32 tapped hole or a 6-32 nut, which is the standard thread on most device boxes, plates and fixture straps.
2) Can I use a 6-32 x 1 inch oval head Phillips screw for mounting devices and plates in an electrical box?
Yes. 6-32 is the thread used on switch and receptacle mounting ears, device box screw holes, plate and strap hardware, and the 1 inch length gives extra reach where a device sits proud of the box or where you are stacking a mud ring or plaster ring. The JOHP82 is a general purpose machine screw, so it can also be run into any 6-32 tapped hole or paired with a 6-32 nut.
3) Is the JOHP82 screw head flat, oval or round?
Oval head with a Phillips drive. An oval head seats partway into a countersunk hole and leaves a low domed crown above the surface, so it sits flatter than a round head but still shows a finished profile. If you need the head fully flush, use a flat head screw instead.
4) What material and finish is the Metallics JOHP82 6-32 screw?
Steel with a zinc plating. Zinc plated steel is intended for dry interior use, in boxes, enclosures and plate work. For wet locations, outdoor enclosures or corrosive environments, specify stainless rather than zinc plated steel.
5) How many 6-32 x 1 screws come in a JOHP82 jar?
100 screws per jar. The JOHP82 ships as a jar pack, which is the usual way electricians buy loose device and fixture screws for the van rather than in a small blister card.
6) Will a 6-32 machine screw thread into sheet metal or drywall on its own?
No. A 6-32 machine screw like the JOHP82 has a blunt, non-tapping machine thread and needs an existing 6-32 tapped hole or a nut behind it. For raw sheet metal use a self-drilling or sheet metal screw, and for drywall use an anchor rated for the load.
