Metallics TP215SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Metallics TP215SBC screw need a special driver bit?
Yes. The TP215SBC is a pin-in-star (tamper-resistant Torx) button head screw, so a standard Torx bit will not seat. The center pin in the recess requires a security Torx bit with a matching hole bored down the middle. Keep a set in the van if you are installing these on covers or enclosures you want left alone.
2) Is the 10-24 x 1-1/2 Metallics tamper screw a machine screw or a self-tapping sheet metal screw?
It is a machine screw. The 10-24 callout is a straight machine thread at 24 threads per inch, so it needs a tapped hole or a nut behind the work. It will not cut its own threads in sheet metal. For an untapped panel, use a self-tapping or thread-forming screw instead.
3) Will the button head on this Metallics security screw sit flush with the surface?
No. A button head is a low, domed head that sits proud of the surface with a flat bearing face underneath. If you need the fastener flush, you want a flat head tamper screw in a countersunk hole instead. The button profile also gives a tamperer less to grip with pliers, which is part of why it is paired with the pin-in-star drive here.
4) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP215SBC?
100 pieces per pack. That is the ordering unit, so a job needing a few hundred security fasteners across panels, covers, or fixtures is one or two boxes rather than a counter order.
