Metallics TP702SPC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a special driver for the Metallics TP702SPC tamper-resistant screw?
Yes. It is a spanner (also called snake-eye) tamper-resistant head, which takes a two-pin spanner bit, not a Phillips or slotted driver. Order the matching spanner bit with the screws if your crew does not already carry one, otherwise the fasteners cannot be driven or removed on site.
2) Why would a contractor use a spanner-head screw instead of a standard Phillips on an electrical cover?
Tamper resistance. A spanner head cannot be backed out with a screwdriver, nut driver, or Phillips bit, so it is used on cover plates, enclosures, and device plates in public corridors, schools, transit areas, detention spaces, and multi-family common areas where you do not want the public opening the box. For back-of-house or locked rooms a standard Phillips sheet metal screw does the same mechanical job for less hassle.
3) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP702SPC?
100 pieces per pack. That is a box quantity meant for repeat work, so if you are standardizing tamper-resistant cover screws across a building or a floor of devices, one pack covers a lot of plates. The screws are US made.
4) What is the head style on the Metallics TP702SPC spanner screw, and will it sit flush?
It is a round head (RH), so it seats on top of the surface rather than pulling down into a countersunk hole. Use it where the plate or cover has a plain drilled hole. If your cover is countersunk and you need the fastener flush, a round head is the wrong profile for that opening.
5) What part number do I order for Metallics 12-24 x 1 spanner tamper-resistant screws?
Metallics part number TP702SPC. That one number covers the 12-24 x 1 inch round head spanner tamper-resistant screw in the 100 piece pack.
