Metallics TM68LP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TM68LP receptacle screws?
Either a flat blade or a #2 Phillips. The TM68LP has a combo head, slotted and Phillips both cut into the same truss head, so an electrician can run them with whatever is already on the belt or in the drill.
2) Are these zinc plated screws OK for damp or outdoor boxes?
The TM68LP is steel with a zinc plating, which is a general-purpose indoor and dry-location finish. It resists handling and storage corrosion but it is not a stainless or hot-dip part, so for wet locations, coastal exposure, or anything continuously damp, specify a stainless device screw instead.
3) Can I use these 6-32 screws to mount a cover plate as well as the device?
Not really. The TM68LP is a 1-1/4 inch device screw meant to run through the receptacle or switch strap into the box or ring ears. Cover plates take a short 6-32 screw, usually with a small oval or pan head, and a 1-1/4 inch length would bottom out or stand proud. Same thread, different job.
4) Why a truss head on a device screw instead of a flat head?
A truss head is wide and low profile, so it spreads the bearing surface across the device strap or the plate and sits shallow enough to clear behind a cover plate. On the Metallics TM68LP that matters because at 1-1/4 inches these are used to pull a receptacle or switch through a ring, and the wider head keeps the strap from pulling past the hole.
5) Is the Metallics TM68LP made in the USA?
Yes, the TM68LP truss head combo receptacle screw is USA made, which matters on public work and other jobs carrying domestic-content requirements.
6) How is the TM68LP ordered, by the piece or by the box?
The TM68LP is a single catalog item ordered under that part number. Metallics packages these receptacle screws 100 to the box, so quantity planning for a trim-out is straightforward: one box covers 50 duplex devices at two screws each.
