Metallics TP526SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and type of screw is the Metallics TP526SBC?
It's a #10 by 2-1/2 inch sheet metal screw with a button head and a tamper-resistant hex drive, sold 100 pieces to the box. The TP526SBC is the model number to order by.
2) What driver do I need for a button head hex pin tamper-resistant screw?
A pin-in-hex (tamper-resistant hex) bit, not a standard Allen key. The center pin in the recess blocks a solid hex key, so you need a hollow-center security hex bit in the matching size. Standard hex and Torx bits will not seat in it.
3) Are these the right screws for securing enclosure covers or fixtures in public areas?
That's the point of the pin-in-hex drive. These are specified where you don't want the public backing hardware out with a common tool, so they suit electrical enclosure covers, panel guards, and exterior fixture mounting. They're a sheet metal thread, so they bite into sheet steel or similar material rather than a tapped machine-thread hole.
4) Will a #10 x 2-1/2 inch screw be too long for thin sheet metal?
At 2-1/2 inches it's a long sheet metal screw, intended to pass through a cover or bracket and reach into a stud, framing member, or backing behind it. If you're only joining two sheets of thin gauge, this length will protrude well past the back; pick a shorter #10 for that.
