Metallics SP181 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are Metallics SP181 wall plate screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a federal job?
No. These are not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing requirements, you'll need a screw certified as domestic.
2) Are these wall plate screws gray so they blend with a gray or stainless plate?
The head is gray, painted over a zinc finish on steel, so it disappears against gray plates. On white, ivory, or brown plates the head will read as a visible gray dot, so match the screw color to the plate you're installing.
3) Is the SP181 head oval or flat, and will it sit flush in the plate countersink?
It's an oval head with a slotted drive. Oval heads seat in the same countersink as a flat head but leave a slight crown above the plate face instead of sitting dead flush, which is the normal look on a standard switch plate. If your spec calls for a fully flush head, use a flat head screw instead.
4) How many screws come in a pack of the Metallics SP181?
100 screws per clamshell pack, and the clamshell is the order unit (minimum one box of 100). It's a visual plastic hanging box, so it works on a shelf or a van rack. Total pack weight is 0.28 lbs.
5) Do these screws need a screwdriver with a Phillips tip?
No. The SP181 takes a flat blade. The drive is slotted, which is the traditional wall plate screw drive and lets you adjust the plate by hand with a small flat tip without cam-out.
6) Can I use these screws for anything besides wall plates?
They're built as a wall plate screw, but 6-32 x 1/2 steel machine screws get used across electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work for any 6-32 tapped hole where a half inch of thread engagement is enough. Zinc plated steel is fine for dry interior use; it isn't a stainless screw, so skip it where it will see standing moisture or outdoor exposure.
