Metallics RM89-2M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I drive the Metallics RM89-2M machine screw with a Phillips bit, or does it need a flat blade?
Either one. The RM89-2M has a combo head, slotted and Phillips in the same recess, so a #2 Phillips driver or a flat blade both work. The slot runs 0.045 to 0.054 inch wide and 0.058 to 0.077 inch deep, and the Phillips recess measures 0.165 to 0.178 inch across. On a panel or device job that means one screw for both crews, no swapping drivers.
2) Do these Metallics machine screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a government job?
No. The RM89-2M is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. On federally funded work carrying a domestic sourcing clause, you will need a domestically produced fastener instead.
3) How far does the round head on these Metallics 8-32 screws stand off the surface?
Head height runs 0.107 to 0.12 inch with a head width of 0.287 to 0.309 inch. That is a domed head sitting proud of the surface, not a flush one, so it needs a clearance hole rather than a countersink. If the drawing calls for the head to finish flush with the plate or panel face, a flat head screw is the right part instead.
4) Are Metallics RM89-2M screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
These are carbon steel with a zinc plating, which is a dry-interior and lightly damp finish. Zinc plating gives general corrosion protection indoors but it is not a marine or sustained-wet finish. For exterior boxes, wash-down areas, pool rooms, or coastal work, specify stainless machine screws in the same 8-32 x 2 size.
5) How strong are these zinc-plated 8-32 machine screws?
Minimum tensile strength is 60,000 psi, with a hardness of Rockwell B70 to B100, made from AISI 1006 to 1022 low carbon steel. That is standard commercial machine screw material, fine for device mounting, enclosure covers, strut fittings, and panel work. It is not a graded structural fastener, so if a drawing calls out a Grade 5 or Grade 8 bolt, this is not a substitute.
6) How are Metallics RM89-2M screws packaged, and is there a minimum order?
They ship boxed, with a minimum of 2,000 pieces. That is a stocking quantity for an electrical contractor or an MRO crib running 8-32 hardware across a building, not a handful for one device.
7) Will a 2 inch machine screw thread into a self-tapping or sheet metal application?
No. The RM89-2M is a machine screw with a 8-32 straight thread at 32 TPI. It needs a pre-tapped hole or a nut. It will not cut its own threads in sheet metal or wood, so for untapped sheet steel you want a self-tapping or sheet metal screw rather than this.
