Metallics SPN300 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will Metallics SPN300 switch plate screws fit a standard wall plate and device yoke?
The SPN300 is a 6-32 x 1/2 inch oval head slotted switch plate screw, which is the thread used on standard device yokes for switches and receptacles. The 6-32 thread mates with the tapped holes in a toggle switch or receptacle strap, and the 1/2 inch length covers typical wall plate thicknesses. Oval head with a slotted drive sits flush against the plate countersink.
2) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics SPN300?
They ship 100 pieces to a pack, so one box covers a full trim-out of 100 plates or gives a service truck a standing supply of replacement switch plate screws.
3) Can I use these 6-32 screws to replace painted or stripped switch plate screws in an apartment turnover?
That is the common use. The SPN300 is a 6-32 x 1/2 inch oval head slotted switch plate screw sold 100 to a pack, so a property manager redoing plates across a building can pull one box and swap out painted-shut or stripped screws on switches and receptacles without matching a thread case by case, since 6-32 is the standard device yoke thread.
4) What is the difference between an oval head and a flat head switch plate screw?
The SPN300 uses an oval head, which seats into the plate's countersink but leaves a slight rounded crown above the surface. Flat head screws finish dead flush. For standard thermoset and nylon wall plates the oval head is the usual choice; if a drawing calls for a fully flush face, specify a flat head instead.
5) Do I need a Phillips or flat blade driver for Metallics SPN300 screws?
Slotted drive, so a flat blade screwdriver. These are 6-32 x 1/2 inch oval head slotted screws, which is what most older wall plates and device straps were built around, and a slotted bit keeps you from camming out on painted-over heads.
6) What is the Metallics part number for 6-32 x 1/2 inch switch plate screws?
SPN300 is the Metallics manufacturer part number for the 6-32 x 1/2 inch oval head slotted switch plate screw, packed 100 pieces.
