Metallics TP215SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics TP215SFC tamper resistant screws?
They are 10-24 x 1-1/2 inch machine screws, so a #10 diameter with 24 threads per inch and a 1-1/2 inch length. The 10-24 is a machine screw thread, not a sheet metal or wood thread, so it needs a tapped hole or a matching 10-24 nut on the back side.
2) What driver do I need for a star pin tamper resistant screw like the Metallics TP215SFC?
A pin-in-star (pin-in-Torx) security bit of the matching size. The head has a raised pin in the center of the star recess, so a standard Torx bit will not seat. Order the security bits with the screws if your crews do not already carry them, otherwise the fasteners cannot be installed or removed.
3) Will the TP215SFC screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
Yes, it is a flat head (FH) screw, so the head is conical and seats flush in a countersunk or chamfered hole. If your plate or enclosure has a flat, non-countersunk hole, the head will stand proud, and a pan or truss head screw is the better choice there.
4) What is the exact part number to order these Metallics tamper resistant flat head screws?
Metallics part number TP215SFC. That single number covers the 10-24 x 1-1/2 inch flat head star pin tamper resistant machine screw in the 100 piece pack, so there is no finish or length choice to specify.
5) Are tamper resistant screws the right choice for public area electrical covers?
That is exactly what the star pin head is for. In corridors, restrooms, schools, transit areas and anywhere the public can reach a cover plate or enclosure, a pin-in-star head stops removal with the drivers people carry. Where only maintenance staff have access, a standard Phillips or slotted machine screw is cheaper to stock and faster to service.
6) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP215SFC?
100 pieces per pack, all one size (10-24 x 1-1/2 inch flat head star pin). That quantity suits an MRO or electrical crew standardizing on one tamper resistant fastener across panels, covers and plates rather than buying by the handful.
