Metallics 3824CTE – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the Metallics 3824CTE tap plug?
The 3824CTE is a 3/8-24 tap plug, so it threads into a 3/8 inch hole tapped at 24 threads per inch (UNF fine thread). If the hole in your fixture body, box, or housing is 3/8-16 coarse, this plug will not engage correctly and you need the coarse-thread version instead.
2) Can the Metallics 3824CTE be used to plug a 3/8 inch knockout in a steel box?
No. The 3824CTE is a threaded plug for a tapped 3/8-24 hole, not a punched knockout. A plain knockout has no threads to engage, so you need a knockout seal or closure plug sized to the knockout diameter instead.
3) How many tap plugs come in a Metallics 3824CTE pack?
One piece per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you are plugging multiple unused holes across a job, order the count you need rather than assuming a bag of ten.
4) What is a tap plug used for on an electrical job?
A tap plug closes off a threaded hole you are not using, in a conduit body, fitting, enclosure, or fixture housing. The 3824CTE is the 3/8-24 size, used where a 3/8 inch fine-thread tapped opening needs to be sealed rather than left open to dust and moisture.
5) What is the exact part number to order this Metallics tap plug?
Order Metallics part 3824CTE. The number reads as the size and type: 3/8-24 thread, carbon steel tap plug.
