Metallics TP333SPC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics TP333SPC tamper-resistant screws?
The TP333SPC is a 10-32 x 3/4 inch machine screw with a pan head and a spanner (two-hole) tamper-resistant drive, sold 100 pieces to the pack. The 10-32 is a machine-screw thread, so it goes into a tapped hole or a nut, not into wood or drywall.
2) Can I use these 10-32 tamper-resistant screws on electrical device plates and enclosures?
Yes, that is the usual application. The TP333SPC is a 10-32 x 3/4 inch pan head machine screw with a tamper-resistant spanner drive, catalogued by Metallics as an electrical fastener, and it threads into any 10-32 tapped hole: enclosure covers, panel doors, strut nuts, and grounding provisions. Note that standard wall plates and outlet boxes in the US are tapped 6-32, not 10-32, so check the tapped hole before you commit to this size.
3) What driver do I need for a spanner head screw like the Metallics TP333SPC?
A spanner drive has two small holes in the face of the head, so it takes a spanner (snake-eye) bit sized to that head. A Phillips, slotted, or Torx bit will not engage it, which is the point of the design: unless someone is carrying the matching bit, the screw stays put. Order the bit at the same time if your crew does not already keep one in the pouch.
4) Will a 3/4 inch long screw be enough thread for my cover?
The 3/4 inch length is measured under the pan head, so subtract the thickness of the cover or plate you are fastening to see how much thread lands in the tapped hole. On a thin sheet metal cover that leaves most of the 3/4 inch engaged, which is plenty; on a thick gasketed cover or a stacked assembly you may run short and want a longer 10-32. Pan head screws sit on the surface rather than countersinking, so the hole does not need to be chamfered.
5) Is the Metallics TP333SPC sold individually or in a box?
It ships as a 100-piece pack under part number TP333SPC. If you are standardizing tamper-resistant hardware across a building, one pack covers a lot of covers and plates, and reordering the same MPN keeps every opening on the same drive type so one bit serves the whole site.
