Metallics TM80LP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 6-32 x 1/2 in. truss head receptacle screw thread into a standard steel device box?
Yes. The Metallics TM80LP is a 6-32 thread, 1/2 inch long machine screw, which is the standard thread used for mounting receptacles, switches and device straps to steel outlet and device boxes. The 1/2 inch length gives enough engagement for a device yoke against the box ears without bottoming out behind them.
2) Can I use a 1/2 inch screw to mount a device in a deep box or through a plaster ring?
Not reliably. At 1/2 inch the TM80LP is sized for a device yoke landing directly on the box or ring ears. If a mud ring, extension ring or stacked spacers put the yoke further off the tapped ear, you need a longer 6-32 machine screw to pick up the threads.
3) What driver do I need for the Metallics TM80LP receptacle screws?
Either a flat blade or a #2 Phillips. The TM80LP has a combo head, slotted and Phillips in the same recess, so an electrician can run them with whatever is already on the belt and still back one out with a slotted driver in a panel.
4) Is the truss head on these screws low profile enough to sit under a wall plate?
Truss head is the wide, shallow-domed profile, lower than a pan or round head for the same diameter. On the TM80LP it spreads the bearing surface across the device yoke slot without standing proud enough to interfere with a standard wall plate.
5) Are Metallics TM80LP screws okay for damp or outdoor boxes?
The TM80LP is zinc plated steel, which is a dry and normally-damp interior rating in practice. It resists handling corrosion and shop humidity, but for wet locations, coastal exposure or corrosive environments a stainless device screw is the better call.
6) Are these receptacle screws made in the USA?
Yes, the Metallics TM80LP 6-32 x 1/2 in. truss head combo screw is made in the USA, which matters on public works and federally funded jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements.
