Metallics TP316SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of driver do I need for the Metallics TP316SFC tamper-resistant screw?
It uses a spanner drive, the two-hole tamper-resistant head often called snake-eye. A standard flat or Phillips tip will not turn it. You need a spanner bit sized for a #10 screw, which is why these get used where you do not want the public backing hardware out.
2) Will a flat head spanner screw sit flush in my cover plate?
Yes, if the plate is countersunk. The TP316SFC has a flat head, which is designed to seat into an 82 degree countersink and finish flush with the surface. On a plate with a straight, non-countersunk hole the head will stand proud, and you would want a pan or truss head instead.
3) Are these machine screws or self-tapping screws?
Machine screws. The TP316SFC has a uniform 10-24 machine thread and a blunt end, so it requires an existing tapped hole or a nut. If you are fastening into unthreaded sheet metal or into a stud, this is the wrong fastener.
4) What part number do I order for the Metallics 10-24 x 1-1/2 spanner flat head screw?
Order Metallics part number TP316SFC. That covers the 10-24 x 1-1/2 inch flat head spanner tamper-resistant machine screw in a 100 piece box.
