Metallics RM100-5M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics RM100-5M machine screws, and will they thread into a 1/4-20 tapped box or strut nut?
The RM100-5M is a 1/4-20 x 3/4 inch round head machine screw, so it threads directly into any 1/4-20 tapped hole, channel nut, or spring nut. With 3/4 inch of length under the head you get enough engagement for a standard 1/4-20 strut nut or tapped flange while leaving the fastener short enough that it won't bottom out in a shallow box. Steel with zinc plating.
2) Is the RM100-5M a machine screw or a self-tapping sheet metal screw?
It's a machine screw, not a self-tapper. The 1/4-20 thread is a blunt-end machine thread that needs a mating tapped hole or a nut, so it will not cut its own threads in sheet steel. If the hole in your enclosure is unthreaded, you need a nut on the back side or a thread-cutting screw instead.
3) What driver do I need for Metallics RM100-5M screws?
They're combination drive, so the head takes either a #2/#3 Phillips bit or a flat blade. That's handy on an electrical job where you're already carrying a 10-in-1 and don't want to swap bits between panel screws and strut hardware.
4) Are these zinc plated screws OK for outdoor or wet locations?
These are zinc plated steel, which is a dry-location and indoor-protected finish. It handles handling and storage corrosion, not standing water or weather. For exterior enclosures, damp or wet locations, or anything washed down, go to a stainless 1/4-20 machine screw rather than zinc plated carbon steel.
5) How does the round head on the RM100-5M differ from a pan head or flat head screw for mounting?
A round head sits fully on top of the surface with a domed crown and a flat bearing face, so it works for surface mounting straps, covers, and brackets where you don't need a flush finish. It will not sit flush in a countersunk hole, that calls for a flat head. Pan head is the lower-profile equivalent if clearance above the surface is tight.
6) How many screws come in a box of Metallics RM100-5M?
It's a bulk pack of 5,000 pieces, which is a shop or truck-stock quantity rather than a job box. If you're standardizing on 1/4-20 x 3/4 round head combo machine screws across a facility or a multi-building electrical rough-in, one pack covers a lot of ground.
