Metallics TP704SRC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are the Metallics TP704SRC #8 screws stainless steel?
Yes, they're 18-8 stainless, which is the 300-series austenitic stainless commonly specified for indoor and damp-location electrical work where plated carbon steel would rust. Size is #8 x 1/2 inch, sold 100 pieces to the box, and they're made in the USA.
2) Will a #8 x 1/2 inch sheet metal screw be long enough for my application?
At 1/2 inch of overall length, the TP704SRC is sized for thin-gauge work: sheet metal, device plates, enclosure covers, strut fittings and similar attachments where the screw only needs to pick up one or two layers of sheet. If you're fastening through a 1/2 inch or thicker substrate, step up to a longer screw, because this one will not develop enough thread engagement.
3) What part number do I order for Metallics 18-8 stainless #8 x 1/2 sheet metal screws?
Order Metallics TP704SRC. That part number covers the #8 x 1/2 inch sheet metal screw in 18-8 stainless, packaged 100 per box, so quantity 1 gets you a hundred screws rather than a single piece.
4) Can I use these stainless screws where I'd normally use zinc-plated sheet metal screws?
In most cases yes. The TP704SRC is the same #8 x 1/2 inch sheet metal screw size as a standard plated screw, so it drives into the same pilot or self-formed hole; the difference is the 18-8 stainless material, which holds up in humid, coastal or washdown areas where zinc plating gives out. Keep in mind stainless is softer than hardened plated steel, so drive it with controlled torque to avoid twisting the head off.
5) Is this screw sold individually or by the box?
By the box. One TP704SRC is a 100 piece pack of the #8 x 1/2 inch stainless sheet metal screw, which is how most MRO and electrical stockrooms buy this size.
