Metallics TRM103M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for a Metallics TRM103M tri-drive machine screw?
The TRM103M head takes three drivers: a flat blade for the slot, a Phillips bit, or a square (Robertson) bit. That's what tri-drive means here, one recess that accepts all three, so whatever is already on your belt will turn it. For a 1/4-20 screw a #2 or #3 Phillips and a #2 square are the usual fits.
2) Is the Metallics TRM103M a machine screw or a self-tapping screw?
It's a machine screw, 1/4-20 x 1-1/2 inches. The threads are a straight 20-per-inch machine thread, so it needs a tapped hole or a 1/4-20 nut to pull against. It will not cut its own thread in sheet metal or form a thread in wood.
3) Will a 1/4-20 Metallics TRM103M screw thread into a standard electrical box or strut nut?
Yes. 1/4-20 is the common thread used for ground screws, box and enclosure hardware and strut channel nuts, and the TRM103M is a 1/4-20. At 1-1/2 inches of length it gives plenty of reach for stacking a clamp, bracket or cover plate on top. Confirm your tapped part is 1/4-20 and not 10-32, which is the other thread you see in boxes.
4) Are Metallics TRM103M screws okay outdoors or in a damp location?
The TRM103M is zinc plated steel. Zinc plating handles indoor and dry or occasionally damp locations fine, but it is not a stainless screw, so for wet exteriors, coastal air or corrosive environments specify stainless instead.
5) Why pick a round head screw instead of a flat or pan head?
Round head, as the TRM103M is, sits proud on the surface with a domed crown and a flat bearing face, so it clamps a bracket or strap down without needing a countersink in the part. If the drawing calls for the head flush with the surface, you want a flat head in a countersunk hole instead.
6) Do Metallics TRM103M machine screws come with nuts?
No. The TRM103M is the screw only. If the hole isn't already tapped 1/4-20 you need to order 1/4-20 nuts, and any washers or lock washers, separately.
7) Is the Metallics TRM103M made in the USA?
Yes, the TRM103M 1/4-20 x 1-1/2 inch round head tri-drive machine screw is US made, which matters on jobs carrying a domestic sourcing requirement on the fastener line items.
8) How do I order the right length in this Metallics tri-drive machine screw?
The part number carries the size: TRM103M is the 1/4-20 x 1-1/2 inch round head tri-drive in zinc plated steel. Measure the grip you need (material thickness plus a couple of threads past the nut) and order the length to match rather than trimming a longer screw, since cutting damages the thread.
