Metallics SP175 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 6-32 x 1/2 inch wall plate screw thread into a standard wall plate and device strap?
Yes. 6-32 is the standard machine screw thread used on receptacle and switch straps for wall plate mounting, and the Metallics SP175 is a 6-32 screw with 32 threads per inch in a 1/2 inch length. That length suits a plate sitting flush on a normally set device box; if the box is recessed deep behind the drywall you need a longer 6-32 screw instead.
2) What color are the Metallics SP175 wall plate screws, and will they match antique copper plates?
The head is antique copper colored, painted over a plated steel screw, so it blends with antique or oil rubbed copper wall plates rather than standing out like a bare metal screw. Base finish under the paint is zinc on steel.
3) Do these wall plate screws sit flush or do they stand proud of the plate?
The SP175 uses an oval head with a slotted drive. An oval head seats partway into a countersunk plate hole and leaves a low rounded crown above the surface, which is the normal look on a decorative plate. If you want a fully flush face, a flat head screw is the one to specify.
4) Are the Metallics SP175 screws acceptable on a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
Metallics lists the SP175 as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant. Country of origin is recorded as multiple.
5) How do Metallics SP175 screws come packaged and what is the smallest quantity sold?
They ship in a clamshell, a visual plastic hanging box of 100 screws, and 100 count is the order minimum. That is the pack a service van or MRO shelf stocks; other sizes and quantities are available by request.
6) What trades use a 6-32 oval head wall plate screw like this?
Metallics lists the field application as the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning industries. In practice it is the screw an electrician or maintenance tech burns through replacing switch and receptacle cover plates, where the original screws are painted over, stripped, or the wrong color for the new plate.
