Metallics TP513SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a special driver for hex pin tamper resistant screws like the TP513SFC?
Yes. The hex socket has a pin in the center, so a standard hex key or hex bit won't engage it. You need a pin-in-hex (spanner-style hex) bit sized to the screw. Plan on having that bit on the truck before the install, because nothing in a normal driver set will turn it.
2) Will 18-8 stainless screws hold up outdoors or in a damp location?
18-8 is austenitic 300-series stainless, so the TP513SFC handles outdoor and damp-location use far better than plated carbon steel. It is not the choice for direct salt spray or coastal marine exposure, where 316 stainless is the usual step up.
3) Why use a tamper resistant screw on electrical enclosures and covers?
On covers, panels, and devices in public or tenant-accessible areas, a pin-in-hex head stops casual removal with common tools. The TP513SFC is the fastener side of that, a #10 x 2 inch stainless sheet metal screw you can use anywhere you'd normally run a #10 but want the cover to stay put.
4) Does the flat head on the TP513SFC need a countersunk hole?
Yes. A flat head seats flush, so the hole has to be countersunk or the material has to be a punched/dimpled hole that accepts the taper. Through sheet metal with a plain drilled hole the head will sit proud. If you want it to sit on top of the surface, a pan or hex washer head is the better pick.
5) Is TP513SFC the right part number to reorder?
TP513SFC is the Metallics manufacturer part number for the #10 x 2 inch flat head pin-in-hex tamper resistant 18-8 stainless sheet metal screw, 100 per box. Order by that number to get the same head style and length again.
6) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP513SFC?
100 pieces per box of the #10 x 2 inch tamper resistant stainless screws, so it's sized for repeat MRO work rather than a one-off cover swap.
