Metallics TP317SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP317SFC screw?
A spanner (snake eye) bit. The TP317SFC uses a spanner tamper-resistant drive, which is two round holes in the head rather than a slot or cross recess, so a flat blade or Phillips will not turn it. You need a spanner bit sized to that head, and you need one for every install and every service call afterward.
2) Can I use the Metallics TP317SFC to screw directly into a stud or a plastic box?
No. The TP317SFC is a machine screw in 10-24, so it needs a pre-tapped hole or a nut. Device boxes and plaster rings are commonly tapped 6-32 for devices and 8-32 or 10-24 for fixture and ground points, so check what the hole in your box or bracket is actually tapped to before ordering. For driving into wood or into an untapped hole you want a sheet metal or wood screw instead.
3) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP317SFC?
100 screws per pack. For MRO and electrical stock rooms that is a working box for cover plates and device plates in public or high traffic areas where you want the plate to stay put.
4) Will the flat head TP317SFC sit flush, or will it stand proud of the plate?
Flush, provided the hole is countersunk. The TP317SFC is a flat head, which is designed to seat into a countersink or a factory countersunk device plate. On a plate with a straight, un-countersunk hole the head will stand proud. If you need a head that sits on the surface, a flat head is the wrong style for that opening.
5) What is the manufacturer part number to order these Metallics spanner screws?
Metallics part number TP317SFC. That number covers the 10-24 x 2 inch flat head spanner tamper-resistant machine screw sold 100 to a pack, and it is the number to quote on a purchase order.
