Metallics TP826SOC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a special bit to drive these spanner tamper-resistant screws?
Yes. The TP826SOC uses a spanner (two-hole) tamper-resistant drive, so a Phillips, slotted, or Torx bit will not turn it. You need a spanner driver bit matched to 10-32 head size. That is the point of the fastener: once installed it cannot be removed with a standard screwdriver found on a job site.
2) Will a 10-32 spanner screw work in an electrical device or cover plate hole?
10-32 is the standard thread used on electrical device mounting and cover plate screws in North America, so the TP826SOC threads into those tapped holes. Check length: at 1/2 inch it replaces a typical device screw but will be short if your existing screw is longer to reach through a thick plate, spacer, or deep-set box.
3) Are these Metallics screws stainless, and will they hold up outdoors or in a damp location?
They are 18-8 stainless steel, the common 300-series austenitic grade used for corrosion resistance in wet and exterior locations. That makes them a reasonable choice for outdoor enclosures, wash-down areas, and damp mechanical rooms where a plated steel screw would rust and seize, which matters when a tamper screw has to come back out years later.
4) What head style are the TP826SOC screws, and will they sit flush?
Oval head. An oval head is a countersunk 82-degree head with a rounded crown, so the underside seats in a countersunk hole but the top stays slightly domed above the surface. If you need a fully flush face, a flat head is the right style instead; if you need the screw to sit on top of a flat unprepared plate, a round or pan head is.
5) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP826SOC?
100 pieces per pack, ordered under part number TP826SOC. That quantity suits securing a run of devices, covers, or enclosures across a building rather than a single fix, which is typical for tamper screws being standardized in a facility.
