Metallics SPD382 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 6-32 switch plate screw thread into a standard decorative wall plate?
Yes. The Metallics SPD382 is a 6-32 thread screw, 32 threads per inch, which is the standard machine screw thread used on switch and receptacle plates and on device mounting straps in North America. If your existing plate screws thread in and out of the device yoke, these will too.
2) Are Metallics SPD382 screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. These screws are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic-sourcing requirement, they will not qualify.
3) What color are the Metallics SPD382 switch plate screw heads?
Light almond painted heads. The underlying screw is steel with a zinc painted finish, and the head color is listed as light almond, so they blend into almond or ivory-toned device plates rather than standing out the way a bare metal screw does.
4) Are these oval head or flat head switch plate screws, and does it matter?
Oval head with a slotted drive. An oval head sits slightly proud of the plate with a rounded crown, which is what most decorative plates are countersunk for. If your plate is prepped for a true flat head that must sit dead flush, an oval head will stand a touch above the surface.
5) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics SPD382?
They sell in 50-piece quantities, with an order minimum of 50 each. That is enough to cover 25 two-screw plates, which is why property managers and electrical contractors buy them for repaint and plate-swap work across a whole building rather than one opening.
6) Can I get the same screw in a longer length or a different head color?
Other sizes and quantities of this Metallics decorative switch plate screw are available by request. The SPD382 itself is the 6-32 x 1/4 inch light almond oval slotted version.
7) Do I need a screwdriver other than a flat blade for these?
No. The SPD382 takes a standard slotted blade, no Phillips or square bit. Painted heads like these are easy to mar, so a blade that fills the slot fully is worth using.
