Metallics JOHP80 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 1/2 inch 6-32 oval head screw work for mounting a switch or receptacle in a standard box?
It will where the device strap sits close to the box ears. The JOHP80 gives 1/2 inch of usable thread, which covers flush mounting in a standard box, but if the box is recessed behind drywall or tile and you need to pick up extra depth, a longer 6-32 screw is the right call. For a plaster ring or deep-set box, step up in length rather than forcing this one.
2) Is the JOHP80 a flat head or oval head screw, and what driver does it take?
Oval head with a Phillips recess. The oval head seats into a countersunk hole like a flat head but leaves a slightly domed crown proud of the surface, which is why it gets used on cover plates and trim where the exposed head is visible. You drive it with a Phillips bit, not a slotted one.
3) How many Metallics JOHP80 screws come in a jar?
100 screws per jar. The jar pack is how these ship for MRO and service-truck stock, so one unit is the jar rather than an individual screw. Order quantity is counted in jars.
4) What material are the Metallics JOHP80 screws made from?
Steel. These are plain steel machine screws intended for interior electrical work, so for wet locations, exterior boxes, or anywhere with corrosion exposure, specify a stainless or plated fastener instead.
5) Is a 6-32 machine screw the same as a sheet metal or self-tapping screw?
No. The JOHP80 is a machine screw, which means it needs a pre-tapped 6-32 hole or a nut to thread into. It will not cut its own threads in sheet metal or plastic. If you are fastening into unthreaded material, use a self-tapping or sheet metal screw instead.
6) What is the Metallics part number to order for the 6-32 x 1/2 oval head Phillips machine screw?
Metallics part number JOHP80 covers the 6-32 x 1/2 inch oval head Phillips steel machine screw in the 100-count jar. That MPN is what to quote on a purchase order.
