Metallics JFMB88 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics JFMB88 machine screw thread into a standard 8-32 device or box tapped hole?
Yes. The JFMB88 is an 8-32 machine screw, so it threads into any 8-32 tapped hole, which is the standard thread on switch and receptacle mounting holes and most device box ears in the US.
2) What head style and driver does the Metallics JFMB88 screw take?
Flat head, slotted drive. The flat head seats flush into a countersunk hole so a cover plate or escutcheon sits tight against the surface, and it drives with a standard flat blade screwdriver, no Phillips or square bit needed.
3) Are these brass screws, and does that matter for an electrical device?
The JFMB88 is a brass machine screw. Brass is non-ferrous and corrosion resistant, which is why it is commonly specified for device and cover plate mounting in damp or coastal locations and where a brass or bronze finish plate is being matched.
4) Do I need a machine screw or a self-tapping screw for mounting into a metal device box?
A machine screw like the JFMB88 is what you want when the hole is already tapped, which is the case on device box ears, mud rings and most steel enclosure holes. It will not cut its own thread. If you are starting with an untapped or drilled-through hole, you need a self-tapping or sheet metal screw instead, or you need to tap the hole to 8-32 first.
5) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JFMB88, and is that a practical MRO quantity?
Each jar holds 100 of the 8-32 x 1-1/2 inch brass flat head screws. The jar pack is the usual shelf or van-stock format for a maintenance shop, so one unit covers a full trim-out run rather than a single device.
6) What is the exact part number to order for the Metallics 8-32 x 1-1/2 brass flat head screw?
Order Metallics part number JFMB88. That number covers the 8-32 x 1-1/2 inch slotted flat head brass machine screw in the 100-count jar, and there is only the one configuration under it, so there is no length or finish option to specify.
