Metallics TM81LPB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics TM81LPB 6-32 screw thread into a standard receptacle or switch yoke?
Yes. The TM81LPB is a 6-32 thread, which is the standard machine screw thread used on receptacle and switch mounting yokes and on most device and plate hardware in North America. At 3/4 inch long it gives extra reach for devices set back in a deep or recessed box, or where a box extender or multiple plaster rings push the device face forward.
2) Is 3/4 inch too long for mounting a receptacle in a standard flush box?
It can be. On a flush-mounted device in a box set at the right depth, the stock 1/2 inch screw is usually enough and a 3/4 inch screw may bottom out or leave thread sticking past the yoke. The 3/4 inch length on the TM81LPB is the one to reach for when the device sits proud of the box, such as with a mud ring, box extender, or thick plaster ring. Keep both lengths on the truck.
3) Can I drive the Metallics TM81LPB with a Phillips bit or does it need a flat blade?
Either one. It has a combination head, slotted and Phillips, so a #2 Phillips bit or a flat blade both seat. That matters on device work where you are already holding a flat blade for terminal screws and do not want to swap tips.
4) Why a truss head on a receptacle screw instead of a flat or oval head?
A truss head is wide and low. The broad bearing surface spans the slotted mounting hole in a device yoke so the screw cannot pull through, and the low profile keeps the head from interfering with the wallplate sitting flat. The TM81LPB uses that head style for exactly that reason.
5) Are these Metallics device screws plated for corrosion resistance?
They are zinc plated steel. That handles normal dry interior device work and damp-location boxes without rusting at the head, but zinc plating is not stainless, so for coastal exterior or wash-down environments use a stainless device screw instead.
6) Are the Metallics TM81LPB screws made in the USA?
Yes, the TM81LPB truss head combo screws are US made, which is what procurement buyers on federally funded or Buy American jobs need on the submittal.
7) What is the Metallics part number for a 6-32 by 3/4 inch truss head combo device screw?
TM81LPB is the Metallics part number for the 6-32 x 3/4 inch truss head combination drive receptacle screw in zinc plated steel.
