Metallics 632CTE – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics 632CTE tap plug cut?
The 632CTE is a 6-32 tap plug, so it taps a 6-32 machine screw thread. 6-32 is the standard thread for device screws and cover screws on outlet boxes, switch boxes and plates, which is why this size is the one most often needed in the field.
2) Will a 632CTE tap plug fix a stripped screw hole in an existing outlet box?
Yes, if the screw that stripped is a 6-32, which is the usual device and cover screw thread on steel boxes. The 632CTE taps that thread back into the metal so the original screw holds. If the hole in question takes a 8-32 or 10-32 screw, you need the matching tap plug size instead.
3) What is a tap plug used for on an electrical job?
A tap plug restores or creates a threaded hole in sheet metal, such as a stripped 6-32 device screw hole in an outlet or switch box, or an unthreaded hole in an enclosure or strut. You drive it in and it forms the thread, so a standard 6-32 screw holds again without replacing the box. The 632CTE is the 6-32 size.
4) Is the Metallics 632CTE steel or stainless?
Carbon steel. That makes it suited to dry interior work such as boxes and enclosures inside a building; for damp, exterior or corrosive locations, specify a corrosion resistant fastener instead.
5) How many tap plugs come in a Metallics 632CTE order?
One piece per unit, supplied in a pouch. If you are stocking a service van or doing a multi-unit turn where stripped box screw holes are common, order the quantity you need rather than expecting a bulk box.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 6-32 tap plug?
632CTE is the manufacturer part number, and it is the only model on the Metallics carbon steel 6-32 tap plug. Quote that number when matching to a spec or reordering.
