Metallics SP279 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will 6-32 wall plate screws thread into standard switch and receptacle boxes and device straps?
Yes. The Metallics SP279 is a 6-32 machine screw with 32 threads per inch, which is the standard device-mounting thread used on switch and receptacle straps and wall plates in North America. It threads straight into the tapped holes on devices and plaster rings.
2) Is a 1 inch wall plate screw too long for a flush-mounted outlet?
At 1 inch, these are longer than the short screws that ship with most plates, which is the point. The extra length reaches the device strap when a plate sits over a thick wall surface, a plaster ring, or a recessed device. On a flush device in a flush box the screw can bottom out or protrude behind the strap, so a shorter 6-32 screw is the better pick there.
3) Do these Metallics screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The SP279 wall plate screws are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, these will not satisfy it.
4) Do these screws sit flush and look right on a white wall plate?
The head is oval with a white zinc plated steel finish, so it seats low against the plate and the white color blends with standard white device plates. Drive is slotted, matching the look of factory-supplied plate screws rather than a Phillips head.
5) How many wall plate screws come in a pack, and can I buy fewer than 100?
They ship in a 100-piece clamshell, and the order minimum is one box of 100. For an MRO shelf or a truck stock bin that covers roughly 50 duplex plates at two screws each.
6) What screwdriver do I need for Metallics SP279 wall plate screws?
A standard flat blade (slotted) screwdriver. These are slotted drive only, so a Phillips or square bit will not engage. Most electricians use the flat tip on a combination driver, and the slot is also what lets you back out painted-over plate screws without camming out a cross recess.
7) Will zinc plated steel plate screws hold up in a damp or unheated space?
The steel body carries a zinc plating, which gives corrosion resistance suitable for normal interior and light damp-location device work. For direct weather exposure or wash-down areas, stainless device screws are the better call.
8) How much does a 100-pack of 6-32 x 1 inch wall plate screws weigh?
The 100-piece clamshell weighs 0.43 lbs (about 195 g), light enough that a few packs add nothing meaningful to a van stock or a parcel shipment.
