Metallics RM865M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics RM865M screws drive with a flat blade or a Phillips?
Either one. The RM865M has a combination (CD) head slot, cut for both a flat tip and a Phillips, so an electrician can run them with whatever is already in the pouch.
2) Are these Metallics 8-32 screws coated for corrosion resistance?
They are steel with a zinc plating (St-Zn). That is a general indoor and dry-location finish, fine for boxes, panels, and device mounting. For wet, exterior, or corrosive areas, step up to a stainless or hot dip galvanized fastener instead.
3) How many screws come in the Metallics RM865M box?
5,000 pieces per box. That is a shop or jobsite bulk quantity rather than a counter pack, so it suits an electrical contractor or MRO stockroom standardizing on one 8-32 x 1 inch machine screw across a building.
4) What is the difference between a round head machine screw like the RM865M and a flat head screw?
The RM865M is round head (RH), so the head sits proud on the surface and bears on the face of the part. It does not need a countersunk hole. If your plate or cover is countersunk and the head must finish flush, use a flat head screw instead.
5) Can I use the Metallics RM865M to mount devices and covers in an electrical box?
Yes, that is its intended use. It is an 8-32 x 1 inch machine screw, the common thread for receptacle, switch, and cover mounting, and the 1 inch length gives extra reach where a device sits back from the box face or where spacers are stacked.
6) Is the RM865M a machine screw or a self tapping sheet metal screw?
Machine screw (MS). It has a straight, uniform thread that needs a pre-tapped hole or a nut. It will not cut its own threads into sheet metal, so for unthreaded material you need a self tapping or sheet metal screw rather than this one.
