Metallics 832CT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics 832CT tap plug take?
The 832CT is a type 8-32 tap plug, so it accepts a standard 8-32 machine screw. That is the same thread used on most electrical box and fixture mounting screws, so a fixture or cover screw you already have on the job will thread straight into it.
2) Can I use the 832CT to fix a stripped 8-32 ground screw hole in a metal box?
That is exactly the repair it is made for. The 832CT taps the damaged hole and restores an 8-32 thread, so you can reuse the box instead of pulling and replacing it. It is carbon steel, so keep it to dry interior locations.
3) How many tap plugs come in a pack of Metallics 832CT?
Five pieces per pouch. If you are tapping multiple boxes or hanging a run of fixtures, order by the pouch count rather than the piece count.
4) What is a tap plug used for in electrical work?
A tap plug gives you a threaded hole where there isn't one. You drive it into an untapped or stripped hole in sheet metal, a box, or a channel, and it leaves behind a clean 8-32 thread you can screw a cover, fixture strap, or ground screw into. The 832CT is the 8-32 size.
5) Is the Metallics 832CT tap plug steel or stainless?
Carbon steel. That is fine for dry interior work such as boxes, enclosures, and strut inside a building, but for damp, exterior, or corrosive locations you want a stainless or plated fastener instead.
6) Do I need a separate tap to use the Metallics 832CT?
No separate tap is required. The plug cuts its own 8-32 thread as it is driven, so you only need a pilot hole and a driver. There is no additional hardware in the pouch beyond the five plugs.
