Metallics TP314SPC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics TP314SPC screws?
They're 10-24 x 1 inch machine screws, so a #10 diameter with 24 threads per inch and a one inch length. The 10-24 is a machine screw thread, not a sheet metal or wood thread, so it needs a tapped hole or a mating nut rather than being driven into raw material.
2) Do I need a special bit to drive these tamper-resistant spanner screws?
Yes. The TP314SPC is a spanner (snake eye) tamper-resistant head, which takes two round pins rather than a slot, Phillips or hex. A standard driver will not turn it. You'll need a spanner bit or driver sized for a #10 head, and it is not supplied with the screws.
3) What are spanner head screws like the TP314SPC actually used for in electrical work?
They're the fastener you reach for when you don't want the public opening something: cover plates on devices in schools, transit stations, correctional facilities, restrooms and other high-traffic or vandal-prone areas. Because the head needs a spanner driver, a casual tamper with a screwdriver or multi-tool can't back it out. For normal panel and device work where tamper resistance isn't required, a standard 10-24 pan head machine screw is the cheaper and easier choice.
4) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP314SPC?
Each pack holds 100 screws. That's a box quantity rather than a single piece, so for a job replacing device plate screws across a building it's worth counting openings before you decide how many packs to order.
5) Is the TP314SPC head flat or raised?
It's a pan head (PN), so the top is slightly domed and sits proud of the surface with a flat bearing face underneath. It is not a flat head, so it will not sit flush in a countersunk hole. If your plate or cover is countersunk, you want a flat head tamper-resistant screw instead.
