Metallics TP314SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of driver do I need for the Metallics TP314SFC screw head?
These are spanner-head tamper-resistant screws, often called snake-eye. The head has two round holes rather than a slot or cross recess, so a standard flat or Phillips driver will not turn them. You will need a spanner (two-pin) bit or driver sized for a 10-24 head, and that bit is not included in the pack.
2) Will a flat head tamper screw sit flush in my cover plate?
The TP314SFC is a flat head screw, which seats flush only in a countersunk (chamfered) hole. If your plate or enclosure cover has a plain straight-drilled hole, the head will stand proud and you want a round or pan head tamper screw instead.
3) Why use tamper-resistant screws on electrical covers instead of standard screws?
A spanner-head screw like the TP314SFC cannot be backed out with the flat or Phillips driver nearly everyone carries, which is why they get specified on device plates, junction box covers, and enclosures in schools, transit areas, correctional facilities, and public restrooms. Functionally it fastens the same as a standard 10-24 flat head machine screw of the same 1 inch length; the only difference is who can remove it.
4) How many Metallics TP314SFC screws come in a pack?
One pack of TP314SFC covers 100 screws, which is the quantity to plan around if you are standardizing tamper-resistant hardware across a building's device plates or enclosure covers. Order in multiples of 100.
