Metallics RM136 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 3/8-16 machine screw thread into drywall or wood on its own?
No. The RM136 is a machine screw, which means it has a straight, uniform thread with no point. It needs a mating 3/8-16 nut or a pre-tapped 3/8-16 hole. For fastening into wood or drywall you want a wood screw or a drywall anchor instead, not this.
2) What head and drive does the RM136 screw use, and what tool do I need?
Round head with a slotted drive, so it takes a flat blade screwdriver. A round head sits proud of the surface rather than sitting flush, so plan on it if clearance behind a cover or plate is tight.
3) Is the Metallics RM136 screw rated for outdoor or damp locations?
It's zinc plated steel, which gives moderate corrosion resistance for dry indoor and protected use. Zinc plating is not a marine or sustained-wet finish, so for exterior, coastal, or washdown areas step up to stainless.
4) Is a 5 inch machine screw too long for mounting a device in a box?
At 5 inches of straight 3/8-16 thread, the RM136 is a through-bolt length, meant for stacking material, strut assemblies, hanger hardware, or enclosure mounting where you need to clear several inches of build-up and still pick up a nut on the back side. For a device inside a box you'd use a much shorter screw. Buy the length for the stack-up you actually have, since the excess thread has to go somewhere.
5) Do Metallics RM136 screws come with nuts or washers?
No. The RM136 pack is 50 screws only. Since a machine screw needs a mating 3/8-16 nut or a tapped hole to clamp anything, order your nuts and any flat or lock washers separately as part of the same job.
6) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics RM136?
Each pack of RM136 is 50 screws. For an electrical contractor doing repeat box, strut, or enclosure mounting work, that's a bulk count rather than a handful, so it's priced and packed for shop stock.
