Metallics TP822SOC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for Metallics TP822SOC tamper resistant screws?
These are spanner head screws, also called snake eye, so they need a spanner (two-pin) bit sized for a #10 head. A Phillips, Torx, or flat driver will not engage the two drilled holes in the head. Order the bit with the screws if you don't already carry one, otherwise the fasteners can't be installed or removed.
2) Are the Metallics TP822SOC screws stainless steel and will they hold up outdoors?
They are 18-8 stainless, the common austenitic grade used for general corrosion resistance in exterior and damp locations. 18-8 handles weather and washdown well; for chloride-heavy coastal or pool environments, 316 stainless is the step up.
3) Why use an oval head screw instead of a flat or pan head?
The TP822SOC has an oval head, which seats in an 82 degree countersunk hole like a flat head but leaves a low rounded crown above the surface. Choose it where you want a countersunk seat with a finished look on a cover plate or trim; a pan head needs no countersink and sits fully proud, and a flat head finishes flush.
4) Will a 10-24 x 1 inch tamper resistant screw work for securing electrical cover plates and enclosures?
Yes, that's the usual use for the TP822SOC. It threads into a #10-24 tapped hole, which is a standard prep on many enclosure covers and device plates, and the spanner head keeps the public from removing it with a common driver. Confirm your cover material plus any gasket stack is thin enough that 1 inch of screw reaches full thread engagement.
5) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP822SOC?
Each pack holds 100 screws, all 10-24 x 1 inch, 18-8 stainless, oval spanner head. That quantity suits securing a run of cover plates, enclosures, or fixtures where you want a security head that can't be backed out with a standard driver.
