Metallics RM84B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the RM84B a machine screw or a self-tapping sheet metal screw?
It is a machine screw (M/S) with a straight 8-32 machine thread, so it needs an existing tapped hole or a nut. It will not cut its own threads in sheet metal. If you are fastening into unthreaded sheet steel, use a self-tapping sheet metal screw or add a nut behind the panel.
2) What driver do I need for the Metallics RM84B screws?
They are combination (combo) head screws, so a #2 Phillips or a flat blade both work. That is handy on a service truck or in a panel where you only have one driver on your belt.
3) Are the RM84B screws plated for corrosion resistance?
The RM84B is zinc plated (Zc) carbon steel. Zinc plating handles dry indoor use, panel interiors and conditioned spaces. For wet locations, exterior work, or anywhere chlorides are present, specify a stainless or hot dip galvanized machine screw instead.
4) How many screws come in a box of Metallics RM84B?
Each box holds 1,000 pieces, ordered as part number RM84B. That bulk count is aimed at electrical contractors and MRO stockrooms burning through device and cover screws across a whole job rather than buying small packs per opening.
5) Will a 1/2 inch long 8-32 screw be long enough for deep cover plates or spacers?
A 1/2 inch length only gives you enough shank for a device ear or a thin cover against the tapped hole. If you are stacking a thick plate, a spacer, or shimming a device forward in a recessed box, you will run out of thread and should step up to a longer 8-32 machine screw.
6) Is a round head screw the right choice for mounting a device in a box?
Round head sits proud of the surface with a domed profile, which is the usual head for picking up device straps, covers and brackets in steel boxes where a flush finish is not needed. If the screw has to sit flush in a countersunk hole, order an oval or flat head 8-32 instead.
