Metallics TP315SPC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics TP315SPC machine screws?
The TP315SPC is a 10-24 x 1-1/4 inch machine screw. That is a #10 diameter with 24 threads per inch, so it mates with a tapped 10-24 hole or a 10-24 nut, and gives 1-1/4 inches of length under the head. Sold 100 pieces to the box.
2) Do I need a special bit to drive the Metallics TP315SPC tamper-resistant screw?
Yes. The TP315SPC uses a spanner (snake eye) drive, which takes a two-pin spanner bit, not a Phillips or a slotted driver. No spanner bit is included with the 100 piece box, so order one if your crew does not already carry it. The tamper-resistant drive is the point of the screw, so a standard screwdriver will not back it out.
3) Will a 10-24 spanner screw work for securing electrical device plates and covers in public areas?
That is exactly the use for the Metallics TP315SPC. It is a pan head 10-24 machine screw with a tamper-resistant spanner drive, used where you want covers, plates and enclosure lids in corridors, restrooms, transit areas and detention or school spaces to stay put. Because it is a machine screw and not a self-tapper, the hole has to already be tapped 10-24 or be backed by a 10-24 nut.
4) Is the TP315SPC a machine screw or a self-drilling sheet metal screw?
Machine screw. The MS in the Metallics TP315SPC description means it has a straight, uniform 10-24 machine thread with a blunt end, so it threads into existing tapped holes or nuts rather than cutting its own in sheet steel. If you need a fastener that forms its own thread in a drilled panel, a sheet metal or self-drilling screw is the right part instead.
5) What head style does the Metallics TP315SPC have, and will it sit flush?
It is a pan head (PN), so it sits on top of the surface with a low rounded crown, not flush. Pan heads bear on a plain drilled hole and do not need a countersink. If you need the head below the surface, you want a flat head countersunk screw, not this one.
6) How many Metallics TP315SPC screws come in a box, and what is the part number to order?
Order under Metallics part number TP315SPC. Each box holds 100 of the 10-24 x 1-1/4 inch pan head spanner machine screws, which is the usual way to buy them for a multi-unit or facility job rather than by the piece.
