Stewart Fastener JWPSWM Wall Plate Screws 6-32 X 0.5 in 100-pack

Product Description

The STEWART FASTENER JWPSWM is a slotted wall plate screw used to secure electrical wall plates, cover plates, and device plates to standard outlet and switch boxes. Sized at 6-32 thread with a 0.5-inch length, this screw is the industry-standard fastener for attaching receptacle covers, switch covers, and blank plates in residential and commercial electrical installations. Each jar contains 100 screws, making it a practical stock item for electricians running service calls or new construction work. The slotted drive is compatible with flat-blade screwdrivers, which remain the standard tool for finish electrical plate work.

These wall plate screws are suited for use in low-voltage and line-voltage device installations wherever a standard single-gang or multi-gang wall plate must be mounted to a device or mud ring. Electricians and electrical contractors typically keep jars of these on hand for retrofit work, panel trim-out, and finish-phase wiring on both residential and light commercial projects. Each screw is sold individually, with the jar quantity of 100 serving as the standard packaging unit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified electrical workers. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker and verify with a non-contact voltage tester before handling any device or cover plate. Tighten screws snugly with a flat-blade screwdriver — do not overtighten, as excess torque can crack plastic cover plates. Work performed in new construction or renovation must comply with applicable NEC requirements.
