Metallics JSPS10SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are these stainless steel screws, and will they hold up outdoors or in damp locations?
The JSPS10SS is 18-8 stainless steel, the austenitic 300 series grade used where plated carbon steel would rust. That makes it the right pick for wet or damp locations, exterior boxes, coastal work, and corrosive industrial areas. For dry interior device work a plain or zinc screw does the same job.
2) Can I use these 8-32 screws to mount a receptacle or switch in a steel box?
Yes. Device yokes and box mounting holes are tapped 8-32, which is exactly what the JSPS10SS is threaded. The 1/2 inch length suits mounting a device strap or a plaster ring directly to the box ear; if you need to reach through a spacer or a thick mud ring stack, step up to a longer 8-32 screw.
3) What head and driver type do the JSPS10SS screws use?
Pan head with a slotted drive, so you drive them with a flat blade screwdriver. Pan head sits with a low rounded profile and a flat bearing surface underneath, which is what you want clamping a device yoke, strap, or cover against sheet metal rather than a countersunk hole.
4) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JSPS10SS?
100 screws per jar, and the jar is the pack type, so you're buying one container of 100 rather than loose pieces. Handy for a service van or a shop bin where you're pulling a few 8-32 stainless screws at a time.
5) What is the exact part number to order these stainless machine screws?
Metallics part number JSPS10SS. One model covers the jar of 100 in 8-32 x 1/2 pan head slotted 18-8 stainless, so there are no finish or size options to pick on the order.
6) Is a stainless machine screw magnetic enough to hold on a screwdriver tip?
18-8 stainless is austenitic and essentially non magnetic, so these won't stick to a magnetized blade the way a plated carbon steel screw does. Overhead or in a deep box, use a screw holding driver or a slotted bit with a gripper. It's the usual trade off for the corrosion resistance.
