Metallics TM80 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics TM80 screw thread into a standard receptacle or switch yoke?
Yes. The TM80 is a 6-32 thread, which is the standard machine screw thread used on receptacle and switch mounting yokes and on device box tapped holes. At 1/2 inch long it gives enough engagement to pull a device tight to the box ears without bottoming out.
2) Does the TM80 take a flat blade or a Phillips screwdriver?
Either one. The TM80 has a combination drive, slotted and Phillips in the same truss head, so an electrician can run it with whatever is already on the belt or in the cordless driver.
3) Why a truss head on a receptacle screw instead of an oval or round head?
The truss head is wide and low. That extra bearing surface spans slotted or oversized mounting holes in a device yoke and holds the device flat, while the low profile keeps the head from interfering with a wall plate sitting against the device.
4) Are these zinc plated steel screws OK for damp or outdoor locations?
The TM80 is steel with zinc plating, which is a mild corrosion coating meant for dry interior device work. For wet, damp, or corrosive locations, use a stainless device screw instead.
5) Is 1/2 inch long enough to mount a device in a box with plaster rings?
For a straight device-to-yoke mount, 1/2 inch is the common length and works fine. If you are shimming a device forward to reach a deep plaster ring or thick wall finish, you will need a longer 6-32 screw. The TM80 is only supplied at 1/2 inch.
6) Can I use the Metallics TM80 to standardize device screws across a building?
Yes, if your devices use the usual 6-32 mounting thread. The TM80 is a single-spec item, 6-32 x 1/2 inch truss head combo in zinc plated steel, so every box on the job gets the same screw and the same driver bit. It is sold in 100 count quantity for restocking a van or a maintenance shop.
