Metallics TP111SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread is the Metallics TP111SBC screw?
The TP111SBC is a 10-24 x 1/2 inch machine screw, so it's a #10 diameter with 24 threads per inch and a 1/2 inch length. Machine screw threads mean it goes into a tapped hole or a nut, not into bare sheet metal or wood.
2) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP111SBC tamper resistant screw?
It takes a pin-in-hex (pin hex) bit, not a standard hex key. The head is a button hex with a center pin, which blocks an ordinary Allen wrench, so you need the matching pin-in-hex driver sized for a #10 screw before you get to the job site.
3) Can I use the Metallics TP111SBC in a plain drilled hole or sheet metal?
No. It's a machine screw, so the threads need a mating tapped hole or a nut. In an untapped hole it will spin free. If you're fastening into bare sheet metal with no threads, you want a self-tapping or sheet metal screw instead, or add a tapped insert or nut on the back side.
4) Why use a tamper resistant screw like this on an electrical enclosure or fixture?
The point of the pin-in-hex button head is that common tools won't back it out. Once it's driven, nobody with a screwdriver or a plain Allen set can open the cover. That's why these show up on panel covers, exterior fixtures, restroom and transit fixtures, and anywhere public access is a concern. The low button profile also keeps the head from snagging.
5) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP111SBC?
100 screws per pack. For a job where you're securing covers or plates with four fasteners each, that's 25 openings off one box, which is usually how a contractor sizes the buy rather than counting individual screws.
