Metallics JRM88SB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JRM88SB?
100 screws per jar. The jar pack is the shop-stock format: it keeps the 8-32 x 1-1/2 screws together on the van or in a trim cart rather than loose in a bin, which is how most electrical contractors buy device screws.
2) Is a slotted round head screw the right choice, or should I use a combo or Phillips head?
Round head slotted is the traditional electrical device screw profile, and it is what the JRM88SB gives you. The domed round head seats on the device strap or cover without pulling through, and the slot takes a standard flat-blade electrician's screwdriver, which is already in the pouch. If you are driving long screws with a cordless driver all day, a combo or Phillips head holds the bit better; for hand-trimming devices, the slotted round head is the conventional pick.
3) Are these the same screws used to mount receptacles and switch plates?
The 8-32 thread is the same thread used for both device mounting and most wall plates, so the JRM88SB fits those holes. The difference is the head: these are round head, which stands proud of the surface. For a finished wall plate you normally want an oval or flat head in a matching finish; use the round head 1-1/2 inch screws for mounting the device itself to the box or ring.
4) Can I cut down a 1-1/2 inch 8-32 screw if it is too long for the box?
You can, and it is common practice on device trim-out: thread the screw into the box from the back side, nip the excess, and the die-cut threads clean up as you back it out. That said, if most of your openings take a short screw, order the shorter 8-32 length and keep the 1-1/2 inch jar for deep ring buildups. Machine screws like the JRM88SB have a constant-diameter threaded shank, so length is the only thing you are changing.
