Metallics TEL1228 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What thread size are Metallics TEL1228 telecom cabinet screws, and will they fit standard rack rails?
The TEL1228 is a 12-28 thread, 5/8 inch long screw. That 12-28 thread is the telecom/rack standard used on tapped equipment rack rails and cabinet uprights, so it threads into rails tapped 12-28. It will not engage a 12-24 tapped rail, which is the other common rack thread, so check what your rails are tapped for before ordering.
2) What driver do I need for the TEL1228 tri-drive screw?
Three will work. The pan head takes a Phillips bit, a flat blade, or a square (Robertson) driver, so an installer already carrying any one of those can set these without an extra bit in the pouch.
3) Is the TEL1228 screw okay for a damp or unconditioned equipment room?
Material is zinc plated steel. That plating handles indoor telecom rooms, closets and unconditioned interior spaces fine, but it is not a stainless or outdoor-rated fastener, so skip it for exterior cabinets or wash-down areas and use stainless there.
4) Is 5/8 in. long enough for mounting through a rack rail?
For a tapped rail, yes. At 5/8 inch the TEL1228 gives enough length to pass through a typical equipment flange and still take full thread engagement in the rail. If you are stacking a washer plus a thick mounting bracket, measure your total stack first, because you only get 5/8 inch total under the pan head.
5) Why a pan head instead of a flat or truss head for mounting rack equipment?
The pan head on the TEL1228 sits on top of the rail with a broad flat bearing surface, which is what you want against an equipment flange or a cable management bracket. A flat head needs a countersunk hole to seat properly, and rack rails and telecom cabinet panels are not countersunk.
6) What is the Metallics part number for these 12-28 telecom screws?
Order by MPN TEL1228 from Metallics. That number covers the 12-28 x 5/8 inch zinc plated steel pan head tri-drive screw, made in the USA.
