Metallics TM81LP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a 6-32 x 3/4 in. receptacle screw work for mounting outlets and switches in a standard steel device box?
Yes. 6-32 is the standard thread for device mounting ears on receptacles, switches and plates in steel and plastic boxes, and the Metallics TM81LP is a 6-32 x 3/4 inch truss head screw made for that job. The 3/4 inch length gives you extra reach when the device sits proud of the box or when you are shimming out for drywall or tile buildup.
2) Is the 3/4 inch length too long for a shallow device box?
It can be. At 3/4 inch the TM81LP is the longer of the common device screw lengths and the tail can bottom out or foul wiring in a very shallow box with a device sitting tight to the ears. Standard 1/2 inch 6-32 device screws are the shorter option for those. Use the 3/4 inch where you need the extra thread to reach through plaster rings, mud rings, or drywall buildup.
3) What driver do I need for the Metallics TM81LP screws, Phillips or flat?
Either one. The TM81LP has a combo head, slotted and Phillips in the same recess, so an electrician can run them with a #2 Phillips on a driver or finish them by hand with a flat blade in a panel where a driver won't fit.
4) Are these screws steel or stainless, and can I use them outdoors or in a damp location?
The TM81LP is zinc plated steel, not stainless. Zinc plating handles normal dry interior work fine, which is what these are built for. For exterior, wet, coastal or corrosive environments, specify a stainless 6-32 device screw instead.
5) Can I use these 6-32 screws to hang a cover plate as well as mount the device?
Not really. The TM81LP is a 6-32 device mounting screw with a truss head, sized for the receptacle or switch strap. Standard wall plates use 6-32 machine screws with a small oval or flat head so they sit flush in the plate's countersink, and the wide truss head will stand proud. Use the TM81LP for the device, a plate screw for the plate.
6) Why a truss head instead of a standard round or oval head on a receptacle screw?
Truss head is wide and low profile. On the TM81LP that broad bearing surface spreads the load across the device's mounting ear or strap so the screw does not pull through or dish the metal, and the low crown keeps it from interfering with a cover plate sitting flush.
7) Do I order the Metallics TM81LP by the piece or by the box?
TM81LP is the Metallics part number for the 6-32 x 3/4 in. truss head combo receptacle screw, packed 100 to the box. Order by the part number and you get the full 100 count.
8) Where are Metallics TM81LP screws made?
They are made in the USA, which matters on federal, state and institutional jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements on fasteners.
