Metallics JTMP86 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread is the Metallics JTMP86 truss head screw?
The JTMP86 is an 8-32 x 1 inch machine screw, so it's a #8 diameter with 32 threads per inch and a 1 inch length under the head. Machine thread means it mates with a tapped hole or a nut, not with wood or drywall.
2) Will the JTMP86 8-32 screw thread into a standard electrical box or device ring?
Yes. 8-32 is the standard machine thread used for device mounting holes in outlet boxes, mud rings, and switch/receptacle yokes, and the JTMP86 is an 8-32 machine screw. The 1 inch length gives you extra reach for stacked rings or thick plaster buildup, and it can be run short of full depth where the tapped hole allows.
3) What drive type is the head on the Metallics JTMP86, and what bit do I need?
It's a Phillips drive truss head. A #2 Phillips bit covers a #8 screw. The truss head is wide and low profile, so it spreads the bearing surface over an oversized or slotted hole and sits flatter than a pan head.
4) Are these zinc plated steel screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The JTMP86 is zinc plated steel, which is a dry-location and indoor-protected finish. It resists incidental moisture and handling corrosion but it is not a marine or sustained-wet material. For exterior boxes, wash-down areas, or coastal sites, use a stainless fastener instead.
5) Can I use the JTMP86 as a self-tapping screw into sheet metal?
No. It's a machine screw, so it needs an existing tapped hole or a nut. Into untapped sheet metal you'd want a self-drilling or thread-cutting screw, or you tap the hole 8-32 first and then use this one.
6) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JTMP86?
Each jar holds 100 screws. The jar pack is the usual MRO and van-stock format, easier to pour and reseal on a truck than a bagged count.
