Metallics SP173 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics SP173 wall plate screw thread into a standard device yoke on a switch or receptacle?
Yes. The SP173 is a 6-32 x 1/2 inch machine screw, and 6-32 is the standard thread used on switch, receptacle and blank device yokes for mounting the cover plate. The 32 threads per inch matches the tapped hole in the strap, so it drops straight into standard devices.
2) What color are the SP173 wall plate screws, and will they match almond or ivory devices?
The heads are painted light almond, so they blend with almond and light almond wall plates and devices. On white, ivory or stainless plates they will read as a different color, so order the matching screw color for those openings instead.
3) Are Metallics SP173 wall plate screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The SP173 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic sourcing requirement, this screw will not satisfy it.
4) Is the head on this Metallics wall plate screw flat or rounded?
Oval head with a slotted drive. The oval crown sits slightly proud of the plate countersink rather than fully flush, which is the usual look on a standard thermoplastic or nylon wall plate. Slotted drive means a flat-blade screwdriver, no Phillips or square bit needed.
5) How many SP173 screws come in a pack and how are they packaged?
They ship 100 to a clamshell box, a visual plastic hanging pack. The order minimum is one box of 100, which is the practical quantity for a trim-out crew or an MRO stock bin rather than a single repair.
6) What is the shipping weight and pack size of a box of SP173 screws?
A clamshell of 100 weighs 0.3 lbs and measures 3.75 by 2.75 by 1.5 inches, small enough to carry several colors on the van without taking up a bin.
