Metallics JRMP129 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 5/8 inch machine screw be long enough to mount a device in a standard electrical box?
For mounting a switch or receptacle yoke directly to the tapped ears of a box, 5/8 inch of 6-32 thread is the common length and gives plenty of engagement. If you are stacking a mud ring, an extension ring, or a thick plaster shim behind the device, you will need a longer 6-32 screw instead, since the 5/8 inch length only spans the device yoke plus a small gap.
2) Are the Metallics JRMP129 screws plated for corrosion resistance?
They are steel with a zinc plating. That handles ordinary dry interior work, panel and device mounting. For wet locations, exterior service, or coastal and corrosive environments, specify stainless rather than zinc-plated steel.
3) Is a round head Phillips screw the right choice, or do I need a flat head for this?
Round head is for surface mounting, where the head sits on top of the material and bears against it, as with a device yoke, a panel bracket, or a ground screw hole. If your part has a countersunk or chamfered hole and the head must finish flush, a round head will stand proud and you want a flat head 6-32 instead. The JRMP129 is round head, Phillips drive.
4) Can I use these machine screws in sheet metal or drywall?
No. A machine screw has a straight, non-tapered thread and cuts nothing; it needs a pre-tapped hole or a nut. For sheet metal use a self-drilling or sheet metal screw, and for drywall use a drywall screw with an anchor. Use the 6-32 x 5/8 machine screw where there is already a 6-32 tapped hole or where you can back it with a 6-32 nut.
5) How do the Metallics 6-32 x 5/8 machine screws come packaged for shop stock?
They ship in a jar of 100. The jar pack is what electricians and MRO stockrooms keep on the truck or on the shelf for device mounting and plate work, since you can pour out a handful without a bag tearing open in a tool bag.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 6-32 x 5/8 round head Phillips machine screw jar?
Order it as Metallics JRMP129. That is the manufacturer part number for the 6-32 x 5/8 inch round head Phillips zinc-plated steel machine screw in the 100-count jar.
