Metallics TP228SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP228SFC star pin screw?
The TP228SFC is a star pin tamper-resistant screw, which means a six-lobe (Torx style) recess with a solid post in the center. A standard Torx bit will not seat on it. You need a pin-in-star (Torx-pin) bit of the matching size, which has a hole drilled in the tip to clear the pin. That is the whole point of the head style: it keeps the fastener out of reach of anyone carrying ordinary bits.
2) Will the TP228SFC screw rust if I use it outdoors or in a wet location?
The TP228SFC is 18-8 stainless, which is the 300-series austenitic grade commonly used for corrosion resistance in damp and exterior work. It holds up in weather and washdown conditions far better than a plated carbon steel screw. In heavy salt or marine exposure, 316 stainless is the step up.
3) Will the Metallics TP228SFC sit flush with the surface?
Yes. It is a flat head (FH) screw, so it is designed to seat into a countersunk or chamfered hole and finish level with the surface. If the hole is drilled straight through with no countersink, the head will stand proud. On thin sheet metal, chamfer or dimple the hole so the tapered head has somewhere to pull into.
4) How many screws come in the Metallics TP228SFC pack?
One hundred pieces per pack, all the same 10-24 x 5/8 flat head star pin configuration in 18-8 stainless. That is a practical quantity for standardizing tamper-resistant fastening across a run of panels, covers, or enclosures in one building so a single pin bit covers the whole job.
5) What is the Metallics part number for the 10-24 x 5/8 tamper-resistant stainless flat head screw?
TP228SFC is the Metallics part number, and it is also the manufacturer part number to order against. It covers the 10-24 x 5/8 inch flat head star pin tamper-resistant machine screw in 18-8 stainless, sold 100 to a pack.
