Metallics TP114SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for a button head hex pin tamper-resistant screw like the TP114SBC?
It takes a pin-in-hex (hex pin) tamper-resistant driver, not a standard Allen key. The recess is a hex socket with a solid pin in the center, so a plain hex bit bottoms out on the pin and will not seat. Order the matching pin-in-hex bit or key in the size that fits a 10-24 button head before you go to the job.
2) Is the TP114SBC a machine screw or a self-tapping screw?
Machine screw. The MS designation and the 10-24 thread mean it needs a pre-tapped 10-24 hole or a mating nut; it will not cut its own thread in sheet metal. If you are fastening into unthreaded sheet, you need a self-tapping or sheet metal tamper-resistant screw instead.
3) Can I use the Metallics TP114SBC to secure electrical covers and enclosures against tampering?
That is what it is for. The tamper-resistant pin-in-hex button head means a standard screwdriver, Allen key or Torx bit will not back it out, which is why it gets specified on panel covers, device plates, junction boxes and other electrical enclosures in public or shared areas. The host hole has to be tapped 10-24.
4) Will a 1-1/4 inch screw be long enough for my cover plate and strut application?
At 1-1/4 inches of overall screw length, the TP114SBC gives you usable thread for a cover or bracket plus a tapped member, but the button head sits flush-ish on the surface and does not add grip length. Measure your stack-up: material thickness plus the thread engagement you need in the tapped hole has to come in under 1-1/4 inches. Thicker assemblies need a longer 10-24 tamper-resistant screw.
5) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP114SBC?
Each pack is 100 pieces of the 10-24 x 1-1/4 inch button head pin-hex machine screw, under part number TP114SBC. That quantity is aimed at a crew doing a run of covers or plates rather than a single repair, so plan a count of openings before ordering multiples.
