Metallics RM82JB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is 1-1/2 inch too long for a flush-mounted receptacle, and what should I use instead?
For a device sitting flush in a standard box, 1-1/2 inches is longer than needed and the excess thread will bottom out or stick back into the box. The RM82JB length is meant for deep plaster rings, extension rings, or built-out tile and drywall. For normal flush mounting, order a shorter 6-32 round head machine screw in 1/2 or 3/4 inch.
2) What head type and driver do the Metallics RM82JB screws use?
Round head with a combination (combo) drive, so they take either a Phillips bit or a flat blade. Handy on a device box where you are working one-handed in a panel and grabbing whatever driver is in the pouch.
3) Are the RM82JB screws plated for corrosion resistance?
They are steel with a zinc plating, which is the usual finish for interior electrical work: fine in dry indoor boxes and panels. For wet locations, washdown areas, or coastal exterior work, specify a stainless machine screw instead rather than zinc-plated steel.
4) Is the Metallics RM82JB a machine screw or a self-tapping screw?
It is a machine screw (MS) with a 6-32 machine thread, so it needs a mating tapped hole or a nut. It will not cut its own thread in sheet metal or wood. Device boxes and mud rings come with 6-32 tapped ears, which is where this screw belongs.
5) How many screws come in the Metallics RM82JB pack?
500 pieces per box. That is a shop or truck-stock quantity rather than a job pack, which is how MRO and electrical contractors usually buy 6-32 machine screws, one part number covering every device and plate on the building.
6) What is the exact part number to order these Metallics 6-32 x 1-1/2 screws?
Metallics part number RM82JB. One model covers the whole item: 6-32 x 1-1/2 round head, combination drive, zinc-plated steel machine screw, 500 to the box.
