Metallics TRM88M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TRM88M tri-drive machine screw?
Take your pick. The TRM88M round head is a tri-drive, meaning the head is prepped for a slotted, a Phillips, or a square (Robertson) driver. On a panel or box job that means whatever is already on your belt will turn it, and a stripped Phillips recess can usually still be backed out with a flat blade or a square bit.
2) Is the TRM88M screw a machine screw or a self-tapping sheet metal screw?
It's a machine screw. The TRM88M has a uniform 8-32 machine thread that needs an existing tapped hole or a nut, and it will not cut its own thread in sheet metal. If you're fastening into bare, undrilled metal you want a self-drilling or sheet metal screw instead.
3) Are these Metallics screws okay for damp or outdoor locations?
The TRM88M is steel with a zinc plating. Zinc plating handles indoor and normally dry conditions fine, and it gives some protection in occasionally damp spots, but it is not a stainless screw. For wet locations, coastal exposure, or anything continuously outdoors, specify a stainless 8-32 machine screw instead.
4) Why pick a round head screw instead of a flat or pan head for device mounting?
The round head on the TRM88M sits on top of the surface with a domed crown, so it carries bearing on thin material without needing a countersink. A flat head needs a chamfered hole to sit flush, which sheet metal boxes and rings do not have. If you need the fastener to finish flush with the surface, round head is the wrong choice.
5) Are Metallics TRM88M screws made in the USA?
Yes, the TRM88M 8-32 x 1-1/2 in. round head tri-drive machine screw is made in the USA. That matters on public and institutional work with domestic sourcing requirements on fasteners.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 8-32 x 1-1/2 inch tri-drive round head machine screw?
TRM88M is the Metallics part number. The designation covers the 8-32 thread, 1-1/2 inch length, round head, tri-drive recess, zinc plated steel configuration, so one number pins the whole spec for reorders.
