These screws are made of metal with a high-quality nickel plating for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
The screws are sized M3.5 with a length of 75mm.
While nickel plating offers good corrosion resistance, for highly exposed outdoor environments, it is recommended to use screws specifically rated for outdoor or marine use. These are best suited for indoor applications.
Each pack contains 10 screws.
These screws are primarily designed for electrical socket and switch faceplates. For mounting junction boxes, different types and sizes of screws may be required depending on the box material and mounting surface.
No, these screws can be installed using a standard Phillips head screwdriver.
These are machine screws with an M3.5 metric thread, suitable for use with threaded inserts or pre-tapped holes typically found in electrical mounting boxes.
The mounting box threads may be stripped or damaged. Consider using a larger screw size or a wall anchor if appropriate for the mounting situation.
This specific screw length (75mm) may not be suitable for shallow mounting boxes. Check if a shorter screw is required for your application. Ensure the faceplate sits flush.
Ensure you are using the correct size Phillips head screwdriver. Apply firm, consistent pressure. If the head is already damaged, try using a screw extractor or pliers to remove it.
While nickel plating offers excellent resistance, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments or harsh chemicals can still affect it. Ensure the screw is not in direct contact with incompatible materials or excessive moisture.
Setup:
Compatibility:
These M3.5 x 75mm screws are designed for compatibility with most standard electrical socket and switch backplates and mounting boxes. Verify the required screw size for your specific electrical fixture before purchase, as some specialized or older fittings may use different dimensions.
Care:
The nickel-plated surface is designed for low maintenance. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth if dust accumulates. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the plating. Due to their corrosion-resistant nature, they do not require specific chemical care for longevity in typical indoor environments.
