Metallics SP184 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 6-32 wall plate screw thread into a standard electrical device box or receptacle strap?
Yes. The Metallics SP184 is a 6-32 thread wall plate screw, 32 threads per inch, which is the standard machine thread used on switch and receptacle mounting straps and on device plates in North America. It threads straight into the tapped holes on a duplex receptacle or toggle switch yoke.
2) Is a 1 inch long wall plate screw too long for a normal cover plate?
At 1 inch, the SP184 is longer than the short screws that ship with most plates. That length is what you want when the device sits recessed in the box, when you are going through a thick or stacked plate, or through wall build-up like tile or added drywall. For a flush-mounted device with a standard plastic plate, a 1 inch screw will bottom out past the strap and can be trimmed or swapped for a shorter one.
3) Will these screws be visible against a black switch plate or a dark device?
The head is painted black, and the screw body is zinc plated steel underneath. Against black or dark bronze plates and black devices the head blends in; on an ivory or white plate it will read as a dark dot. Metallics describes the SP184 as plated and painted for that reason.
4) Is this an oval head or a flat head wall plate screw, and does it matter for the plate I have?
Oval head with a slotted drive. An oval head seats in the countersunk hole of a standard plate but leaves a slight domed crown above the surface rather than sitting dead flush like a flat head. On most stamped steel and plastic device plates that is the normal look. If your plate is specified for a fully flush flat head, the oval will stand slightly proud.
5) How many wall plate screws come in a pack, and what is the smallest quantity I can order?
They come in a clamshell of 100 count, and 100 is the order minimum. That is a single hanging pack, sized for a service van or a shop bin rather than a one-off repair.
6) Are Metallics SP184 screws acceptable on a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
Metallics lists the SP184 as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant. That is the manufacturer's own compliance coding, which is what procurement on a federally funded project will typically want on file.
7) How big is the clamshell pack of Metallics SP184 screws for shelf or van storage?
The hanging clamshell measures 3.75 inches in length, 2.75 inches in width, and 1.5 inches in height, and weighs 0.43 lbs with the 100 screws in it. It has a hanger hole for a pegboard or a van rack.
