Metallics TP613SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and type of screw is the Metallics TP613SFC?
It's a #10 x 2 inch sheet metal screw with a flat head, made from 18-8 stainless steel, and it sells in packs of 100. The drive is a star pin (pinned Torx), which is the tamper resistant version of a six lobe drive, so it needs a pin-in Torx bit rather than a standard T-bit.
2) Do I need a special bit to drive a star pin tamper resistant screw?
Yes. The hollow pin in the center of the recess blocks a normal Torx bit, so the TP613SFC takes a pin-in (tamper resistant) six lobe bit in the matching size. That's the whole point of the drive: once it's installed, nobody with a standard bit set is backing it out.
3) Will 18-8 stainless screws hold up outdoors or in a damp location?
18-8 stainless is the standard austenitic grade used for general corrosion resistance, and the TP613SFC is 18-8 throughout, so it suits damp interior and typical exterior work. For constant salt spray or coastal exposure, a 316 grade fastener is the better call.
4) Is a flat head sheet metal screw the right choice for mounting a cover plate flush?
Flat head screws seat flush, but only into a countersunk or chamfered hole. On a flat plate with a straight-drilled hole the TP613SFC head will stand proud. If you need a finished flush face, countersink the hole; if you can't, use a pan or truss head instead.
5) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP613SFC?
100 pieces per pack. One part number, TP613SFC, covers it, so for larger jobs you're ordering in multiples of 100.
6) Can I use a sheet metal screw like this into wood or drywall?
Sheet metal screws are threaded full length with a sharp, close-pitch thread meant for thin metal and pre-drilled holes. The #10 x 2 inch TP613SFC will bite into wood, but it isn't a wood screw and it has no anchoring ability in drywall on its own, so use a proper anchor there.
