Metallics TRM86M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What drivers can I use on Metallics TRM86M 8-32 machine screws?
The TRM86M has a tri-drive round head, so the recess takes a flat blade, a Phillips bit, or a square (Robertson) bit. On a panel or box job that means whatever driver is already on your belt will seat it, and you are not hunting for one specific bit size in a ceiling.
2) Will an 8-32 x 1 inch machine screw thread into a standard electrical box or device bracket?
8-32 is the standard machine thread used on outlet boxes, device straps, cover plates and fixture brackets, so the TRM86M threads into those tapped holes directly. The 1 inch length gives you reach for stacking a mud ring, plaster ring or extension onto the box. For flush plate-to-device work a 1 inch screw will usually be longer than needed.
3) Is the TRM86M screw suitable for damp or outdoor locations?
These are steel with a zinc plating. Zinc plated steel is fine for dry interior work and handles incidental moisture, but it is not stainless. For wet locations, coastal exposure, or anywhere corrosion is a real risk, specify a stainless 8-32 machine screw instead.
4) Round head versus flat head 8-32 machine screws, which do I need?
The TRM86M is a round head, so the head sits proud on the surface with a domed profile. Use it where there is no countersink and the head bearing on top of the metal is what you want, such as box and bracket mounting. If the hole is countersunk and the head has to finish flush, a round head is the wrong choice and you want a flat head screw.
5) Do I need a nut with the TRM86M, or does it thread into the part?
It is a machine screw, not a self-tapping or sheet metal screw. The 8-32 thread needs a mating tapped hole or an 8-32 nut. It will not cut its own thread in plain sheet steel, so if your hole is unthreaded you need a nut, a clip nut, or to tap it 8-32 first.
