Metallics TP333SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are these tamper resistant screws, and what driver do I need?
Yes, the TP333SFC is a spanner-head tamper-resistant screw, so it takes a spanner (snake-eye) bit with two pins rather than a Phillips or slotted driver. You will need the matching 10-32 spanner bit on hand. A standard screwdriver will not drive or back these out, which is the point in public restrooms, transit areas, schools and other spots where covers get picked at.
2) Will a 10-32 x 3/8 flat head screw work for mounting device plates on electrical boxes?
Yes. Standard electrical device boxes, plaster rings and cover plates are tapped 10-32, and the TP333SFC is a 10-32 machine screw at 3/8 inch. The flat head sits flush when the plate is countersunk, and the spanner head means the plate cannot be removed with a common screwdriver. Check that your cover is countersunk for a flat head, since a flat head will not seat properly in a plain through-hole the way a round or oval head would.
3) Are the Metallics TP333SFC tamper-resistant screws made in the USA?
Yes, the TP333SFC 10-32 x 3/8 spanner-head machine screw is USA made, which matters on government, school and other publicly funded jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements.
4) Is the TP333SFC a flat head or a pan head screw?
Flat head. The TP333SFC has a countersunk flat head, so it finishes flush with the surface of a countersunk plate or escutcheon. If your plate has a flat, uncountersunk hole, you want a pan or oval head 10-32 instead, since a flat head will stand proud and can rock on the surface.
5) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP333SFC?
Each pack of TP333SFC is 100 pieces. For a property manager or MRO buyer standardizing covers across a building, that is enough for 50 duplex plates at two screws each, so order by the plate count and keep a spanner bit with the stock.
