Hi,

Anyone know where you can buy M4 Galvanized screws for conduit box lids? Brass ones rust outside.

Do you mean after time they oxidise?

Or have you encountered cheap nasty steel/brass plated ones?

As oldtimer says any decent wholesaler will stock the brass ones.

Tower use shiny screws on their PVC conduit boxes.
Don't know if they're plated brass or steel?

try a magnet. i did in a reel of telephone cable that CEF tried to tell me it was so expensive due to the cost of copper. turned out it was steel with a coulple of microns of copper plating.
