Metallics TP213SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a special bit to install the Metallics TP213SFC screw?
Yes. It is a star drive with a center pin, so a standard Torx or 6-lobe bit will not seat. You need a pin-in-star (pin-in-Torx) security bit of the matching size. That pin is what makes it tamper resistant, so budget for the bit before the job.
2) Will the Metallics TP213SFC screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
It is a flat head, so it seats flush in a countersunk or chamfered hole. On a flat panel with no countersink the head will stand proud, and if you need a surface-mount head with a washer face you want a pan or truss head instead.
3) Is the Metallics TP213SFC screw stainless steel, and can it go outdoors?
The material is 18-8 stainless, the austenitic grade commonly used for general corrosion resistance in exterior and damp locations. For salt spray or coastal exposure, 316 stainless is the step up.
4) What are tamper-resistant 10-24 machine screws like this used for in electrical work?
Pin-in-star 10-24 machine screws are used where a cover or plate has to stay put and resist casual removal: device and wallplate installs in public corridors, schools, transit and detention spaces, enclosure and junction box covers, and fixture trims. The star pin drive means a tenant or passerby with a screwdriver or common Torx bit cannot back it out. This one is a 1 inch flat head in 18-8 stainless.
5) What is the Metallics part number to order these security screws, and how many come in a box?
Order by manufacturer part number TP213SFC from Metallics. Each pack is 100 pieces of the 10-24 x 1 inch flat head pin-in-star stainless screw.
