Metallics TP220SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a special bit to drive a star pin tamper resistant screw like the TP220SBC?
Yes. The TP220SBC uses a star (six lobe) recess with a center pin, so a standard Torx bit will not seat. You need a pin in star / tamper resistant Torx bit sized to the screw. That pin is the whole point of the head: once it is installed, nobody removes it with a common driver set.
2) Will a button head screw sit flush with the surface?
No. The TP220SBC has a button head, which is a low rounded head that sits on top of the material rather than sinking into it. If you need the fastener flush, you want a flat head screw in a countersunk hole instead. Button head is the usual pick where the panel or plate is not countersunk and a low profile is good enough.
3) What is the part number to order for the Metallics 1/4-20 tamper resistant button head screw?
Order Metallics part number TP220SBC. That covers the 1/4-20 x 1-1/2 inch button head, pin in star tamper resistant machine screw in the 100 piece box.
4) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP220SBC?
Each box of TP220SBC holds 100 screws. That is the pack quantity, so one box covers a panel or enclosure job without reordering piece by piece.
5) Where would an electrical contractor use a tamper resistant 1/4-20 button head screw?
Pin in star tamper resistant fasteners like the TP220SBC are specified where a cover has to stay on in a public or shared space: enclosure and panel covers, junction box lids, fixture housings, anything in a corridor, garage, or tenant common area. The 1-1/2 inch length gives enough reach for a cover plus a tapped boss or a nut on the back side.
