Metallics TM83 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a 6-32 x 2 in. receptacle screw reach through a deep-set or recessed electrical box?
That is what the extra length is for. The Metallics TM83 is a 6-32 thread by 2 inch long receptacle screw, roughly four times the length of the short 6-32 screws that ship with a device, so it spans the gap when a box sits deep behind the finished wall surface or when extra drywall, tile, or paneling has pushed the device back. The 6-32 thread is the standard device-mounting thread, so it threads into the same receptacle and switch mounting ears and box tabs.
2) Can I use these screws to mount a receptacle to a plaster ring or box extension?
Yes, provided the tapped hole is 6-32, which is the standard on plaster rings, mud rings, and box extension tabs. The TM83's 2 inch length is the reason buyers reach for it here: with a ring or extender stacked on the box, a standard short device screw often will not pick up enough thread, and the 2 inch screw will.
3) Does the Metallics TM83 screw take a Phillips or a flat blade screwdriver?
Either one. The TM83 has a combination (combo) head, slotted and Phillips in the same recess, so an electrician can drive it with whatever is already on the belt. Useful on panel and device work where you are switching between slotted terminal screws and Phillips device screws.
4) Are zinc plated steel screws suitable for outdoor or damp-location boxes?
The TM83 is zinc plated steel, which is a dry-interior finish. Zinc gives mild corrosion resistance for indoor work but it is not a marine or wet-location material. For exterior boxes, wash-down areas, or coastal jobs, specify a stainless steel 6-32 device screw instead.
5) What part number do I order for the 2 inch Metallics truss head combo receptacle screw?
Order Metallics TM83. That is the manufacturer part number for the 6-32 x 2 inch truss head combo receptacle screw in zinc plated steel.
6) Is the Metallics TM83 a machine screw or a self-tapping screw?
It is a machine screw. 6-32 is a machine thread, so the TM83 needs an existing tapped 6-32 hole, such as a device ear, box tab, or plaster ring. It will not cut its own thread into sheet metal or wood.
7) Why a truss head instead of a round or oval head on a device screw?
A truss head is wide and low. On the Metallics TM83 that means a larger bearing surface against the device mounting ear or box tab, and less head height sitting proud under a cover plate, so the plate pulls up flush. If you need a head that recesses into a countersunk hole, a truss head is the wrong choice.
