Metallics TP337SPC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the TP337SPC spanner tamper-resistant screws?
A spanner (snake-eye) bit, not a Phillips or a hex key. The drive on the TP337SPC is a spanner tamper-resistant head, which has two round holes set either side of center, so it takes a two-pin spanner bit or spanner screwdriver in the matching size. If your techs do not already carry spanner bits, order them along with the screws, or the box of 100 sits unusable.
2) Will tamper-resistant machine screws like these stop plates being removed in a school or transit station?
That is exactly the job they are built for. The TP337SPC uses a spanner tamper-resistant head, which cannot be turned with a flat, Phillips, or square driver, so wall plates, device covers, and enclosure covers in corridors, restrooms, detention areas, platforms, and dorms stay put unless someone has the matching spanner bit. They are a deterrent fastener, not a locking device: anyone holding a spanner bit can remove them.
3) Is the TP337SPC a pan head screw, and will it sit flat on a cover plate?
Pan head, so it has a flat-bottomed, slightly domed top that bears on the surface of the plate rather than pulling down into it. It will not sit flush the way an oval or flat head in a countersunk hole does. If your plates are countersunk for a flat head, a pan head will stand proud of the face. For standard non-countersunk device covers and enclosure covers, pan head is the normal choice.
4) Are these tamper-resistant screws made in the USA?
Yes, the TP337SPC 10-32 x 2 spanner tamper-resistant pan head machine screws are USA made, which is what government, education, and transit procurement usually needs on the submittal when a domestic-content clause applies.
5) Can I use a 2 inch 10-32 machine screw to mount a device into a wood stud or drywall?
No. The TP337SPC is a machine screw, meaning a uniform straight 10-32 thread meant for a pre-tapped hole or a nut. It has no sharp point and no wood thread, so it will not cut its own threads in a stud or hold in drywall. Use it where there is a tapped 10-32 hole, typically in a steel box, device strap, or cover. For wood or drywall anchoring you need a wood screw or an anchor instead.
6) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP337SPC?
100 pieces per pack. For MRO and facility stock that is a practical shelf quantity when you are standardizing on tamper-resistant covers across a building, since each cover typically takes two screws, so a pack covers roughly 50 plates. Order under part number TP337SPC.
