Metallics TP124SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics TP124SFC screw?
It's a 12-24 x 1 inch machine screw. The 12-24 thread is a machine screw thread, not a sheet metal or self-tapping thread, so it needs a tapped hole or a 12-24 nut. One inch is the overall length under a flat head, which seats flush.
2) Does the Metallics TP124SFC screw need a special driver bit?
Yes. It's a spanner (snake eye) tamper resistant head, which has two round holes in the face instead of a slot or cross recess. You can't drive it with a Phillips or a flat blade, so you need a spanner bit or spanner driver in the matching size on the truck before you start the job.
3) Are these 12-24 spanner screws stainless steel, and will they hold up outdoors?
The TP124SFC is 18-8 stainless, which is the common austenitic grade used for corrosion resistance in damp and exterior locations. It won't rust out like plain steel in a wet vault, pull box, or exterior enclosure. For salt spray or coastal exposure, 316 is the better grade.
4) What is the Metallics part number for a 12-24 x 1 flat head spanner stainless machine screw?
TP124SFC is the Metallics number for the 12-24 x 1 inch flat head spanner tamper resistant machine screw in 18-8 stainless, sold 100 to the pack. That's the number to quote when ordering or matching what's already in the enclosure.
5) Will a 12-24 machine screw work in a drilled hole with no threads?
No. 12-24 is a machine screw thread and won't form its own threads in sheet steel. The hole has to be tapped 12-24, or you need a 12-24 nut, nut plate, or threaded insert behind it. If you're fastening into untapped sheet metal, use a self-tapping or sheet metal screw instead.
6) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP124SFC?
100 pieces per pack. For a facilities or MRO crew standardizing on tamper resistant fasteners across panels and covers, that's enough to carry one head type and one driver rather than a mix.
