Metallics TSP82M – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics TSP82M #12 pan head Phillips tapping screws?
A #3 Phillips bit. The recess on the TSP82M is 0.246 to 0.259 inch in diameter and 0.141 inch deep, so a #2 bit will sit loose and cam out when you load it up. Stock #3 tips on the drivers before a run of these.
2) Will a #12 sharp point tapping screw bite into sheet metal without a pilot hole?
The TSP82M is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet (sharp) point, which is the point style made to start in thin sheet metal and light gauge material without pre-drilling. It threads at 11 threads per inch, a coarse spacing that pulls into sheet and soft materials. In heavier stock, drill a pilot - a sharp point is not a self-drilling point.
3) Is a pan head going to sit flush, or will it stand proud of the surface?
It stands proud. A pan head is a raised, flat bottomed head - this one measures 0.407 to 0.425 inch across with a head height of 0.139 to 0.151 inch, so figure roughly an eighth to five thirty-seconds above the surface. If you need the head buried, you want a flat head screw and a countersunk hole instead.
4) Can I use these on a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. The TSP82M is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. For federally funded work with domestic sourcing language, source a domestic fastener instead.
5) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics TSP82M?
They ship in jars with a 1000 piece order minimum, so a single buy is a thousand screws. Fine for an electrical or MRO crib that goes through #12 pan heads on strut, boxes, and plates; overkill for a one-off repair.
6) Do these Metallics tapping screws meet a published dimensional standard for submittals?
Yes. The head and drive dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2013 and the threads follow ASME B18.6.4, with material to AISI 1016 through 1024. Note that Metallics states dimensions for its #9 diameter screws are independent of ASME B18.6.4; the #12 here is not affected.
7) Is zinc plated steel good enough for outdoor or damp locations?
These are zinc plated carbon steel, which is a mild corrosion coating meant for dry interior service - panel work, boxes, strut, and sheet metal inside a building. For exterior exposure, wet locations, or coastal air, step up to stainless or hot dip galvanized; zinc plate will bloom and rust.
8) Will the 0.407 inch pan head cover an oversized hole in a panel or bracket?
The head runs 0.407 to 0.425 inch in diameter on a #12 shank, which gives you real bearing area over a slot or a slightly enlarged hole. Beyond that, add a flat washer rather than hunting a bigger head.
