Metallics SP283 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will 6-32 wall plate screws fit standard outlet and switch plates?
Yes. The Metallics SP283 is a 6-32 thread screw, 32 threads per inch, which is the standard machine screw thread used by wiring device mounting ears on receptacles, switches and decorator plates in North America. It threads straight into the device strap, not into drywall, so no anchor is needed.
2) Is a 1 inch wall plate screw too long for a normal receptacle?
At 1 inch of screw length, the SP283 is longer than the 1/2 inch screws that ship with most devices. That extra length is what you want when the plate sits over a thick wall surface, a spacer, or a device set back in the box, since it still reaches the mounting ear. On a flush-mounted device the excess simply runs past the strap into the box, so check there is clearance behind the ear before driving it.
3) Do Metallics SP283 wall plate screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements?
No. The SP283 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded job with domestic sourcing requirements, these will not qualify.
4) What is the difference between oval head and flat head wall plate screws?
The SP283 uses an oval head, which seats in the plate's countersunk hole but leaves a slight dome above the surface. That is the standard look for electrical cover plates. A true flat head sinks fully level with the plate face and is used where nothing can protrude. If you are matching existing plates in a building, oval is almost always what is already there.
5) Are these wall plate screws Phillips or slotted?
Slotted drive, so a standard flathead screwdriver installs and removes them. Slotted is the traditional drive for cover plates and lets you snug the screw by feel without camming out of a cross recess. If your crew works only with Phillips bits, order a Phillips-drive plate screw instead.
6) Will stainless wall plate screws hold up in a damp or outdoor location?
The screws are 18-8 stainless steel, which resists corrosion far better than the zinc-plated steel screws packed with most devices. That makes them a reasonable choice for garages, mechanical rooms, kitchens, car washes and other damp interior locations where plain steel screws rust and stain the plate.
7) How many screws come in a pack and what is the minimum order?
Each clamshell holds 100 screws, and the order minimum is one box of 100. The clamshell is a hanging plastic pack, which keeps the loose screws contained on a van shelf or a stockroom peg.
8) Will the screw head match a stainless steel wall plate?
Head color is stainless steel, so it blends with brushed or satin stainless cover plates rather than standing out the way a white or ivory painted screw would. If you are plating out in ivory, white or black, you want a painted screw head in that color instead.
9) Can these screws be used for anything besides electrical cover plates?
Metallics lists them for electrical, plumbing, and heating and air conditioning work. Anywhere a 6-32 machine screw holds a cover or control plate, including HVAC thermostat and control plates and panel covers, the same screw applies.
10) How much does a 100-pack of these wall plate screws weigh for shipping?
The clamshell of 100 weighs 0.4 lbs and measures 3.75 by 2.75 by 1.5 inches, so it ships light and stocks easily in a van bin or on a pegboard.
