Metallics SP176 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many wall plate screws come in a pack and can I buy fewer than 100?
They ship 100 to a clamshell, and the clamshell of 100 is the order minimum - it is sold as a box, not loose by the piece. Metallics does note other sizes and quantities on request.
2) Do these Metallics screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA-funded job?
No. The SP176 wall plate screw is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with origin listed as multiple countries. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing language, you will need a domestically produced 6-32 wall plate screw instead.
3) Is the Metallics SP176 wall plate screw an oval head or a flat head, and will it sit flush in a plate?
Oval head with a slotted drive. An oval head crowns slightly above the plate face rather than sinking dead flush like a flat head, which is what standard thermoplastic and metal wall plates are countersunk for. If your spec calls for a fully flush flat head, this is not that screw.
4) What color are the screw heads on the Metallics SP176 - will they match brass wall plates?
The heads are brass plated, so they blend with brass or brass-tone wall plates. The screw body itself is steel with a zinc finish. If you are mounting white, ivory, or stainless plates, order the matching head color instead rather than putting brass heads on them.
5) Are zinc plated steel wall plate screws okay for damp or outdoor locations?
The SP176 is plated steel, not stainless. Zinc plating handles dry interior work fine, which is where wall plate screws normally live. For wet, damp, or coastal exterior enclosures, specify a stainless 6-32 machine screw - plated steel will eventually bloom rust there.
6) Is this just a wall plate screw or can I use it for other 6-32 mounting on the job?
Metallics lists it for the electrical, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning trades, and a 6-32 oval head machine screw works anywhere that thread is called for - plate mounting, device mounting, small cover and bracket work. The brass plated head is the limiting factor cosmetically, not the thread.
7) Will a slotted wall plate screw strip out if I run it with a drill?
Slotted is the only drive offered on the SP176, and a slotted bit cams out of the slot under power far more readily than a Phillips or square drive. Set the clutch low or finish by hand, especially on thermoplastic plates where overdriving cracks the plate before the screw strips.
