Metallics TP513SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and type of screw is the Metallics TP513SBC?
The TP513SBC is a #10 x 2 inch sheet metal screw with a button head and a hex pin tamper-resistant drive, made from 18-8 stainless steel. It comes 100 pieces to a box.
2) What driver do I need for a button head hex pin tamper-resistant screw?
It takes a pin-in-hex (hex pin) security bit, not a plain hex key. The center pin in the recess blocks a standard Allen wrench or hex bit, so you need the matching pin-hex driver sized for a #10 screw. Plan on having that bit on the truck before you start, since nothing in a standard driver set will turn it.
3) Are these stainless screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
18-8 stainless (the 300 series austenitic grade) handles outdoor and damp-location use far better than plated carbon steel, which is why it gets specified for exterior enclosures, coastal and washdown areas. For direct saltwater immersion, 316 stainless is the step up.
4) Why use a tamper-resistant screw instead of a standard sheet metal screw?
Tamper-resistant screws like the TP513SBC are used where you do not want the public pulling a cover off: electrical enclosures, panel covers, restroom and transit fixtures, signage, detention and school settings. The hex pin drive means a common screwdriver or Allen key will not back it out. If the fastener is in a locked room or above a ceiling, a plain sheet metal screw does the same mechanical job for less effort.
5) Does the button head sit flush, or does it stand above the surface?
Button head screws sit proud of the surface with a low, rounded dome and a flat bearing face underneath. They do not require a countersunk hole. If you need the fastener flush with a cover plate, you want a flat head security screw with a countersunk prep instead.
6) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP513SBC?
100 pieces per box. That is the sell unit, so order by the box rather than by the piece when you are estimating a panel or enclosure job.
