Metallics TP338SPC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the spanner tamper-resistant head on these Metallics screws?
These are spanner (snake-eye) tamper-resistant screws, so a Phillips or slotted bit will not turn them. You need a two-pin spanner bit sized for a #10 head. That is the point of the drive: it keeps the public from backing the screw out of a cover plate or enclosure without the matching tool, so plan on having the spanner bits on the truck before you install them.
2) Are the TP338SPC screws machine screws or self-tapping sheet metal screws?
Machine screws. The 10-32 thread is a straight machine thread meant for a pre-tapped hole or a nut, so it will not cut its own threads in sheet steel. If you are fastening into unthreaded metal, you need to tap the hole to 10-32 first or use a 10-32 nut on the back side.
3) Will a 2-1/2 inch 10-32 spanner screw work for mounting a device through thick build-out or extension rings?
That is the usual reason to buy this length. A standard 10-32 device or cover screw runs well under an inch, and 2-1/2 inches gives you the reach to pick up the box threads through added plaster rings, extension rings, or thick finish material, while still holding the tamper-resistant spanner head on the visible side. Count your total stack-up plus enough thread engagement into the tapped hole before settling on this length.
4) How many Metallics TP338SPC screws come in a pack?
One hundred pieces per pack. For an MRO or facilities crew standardizing on tamper-resistant hardware in restrooms, corridors, schools, or transit areas, a 100-count box of 10-32 x 2-1/2 spanner screws covers a run of openings on a single part number and single bit.
