Metallics TP120SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of driver do I need for Metallics TP120SFC tamper resistant screws?
A hex pin (pin-in-hex) security bit. The head has a hex socket with a solid pin standing in the center, so a plain Allen key won't seat, it needs a security hex bit with the matching center hole. Order the bit along with the screws if your techs don't already carry a tamper bit set, otherwise the fasteners can't be installed or removed on site.
2) Will the TP120SFC screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
Yes, it's a flat head screw, so it's made for an 82 degree countersunk hole and finishes flush with the surface. That's what you want on cover plates, enclosure doors, and panels where a projecting head would catch or get pried. If your hole isn't countersunk, the head will stand proud and the tamper resistance is easier to defeat with pliers.
3) Are these Metallics screws self-drilling or do I need a tapped hole?
Machine screws (the MS in the callout), not self-drilling or self-tapping. They need a 1/4-20 tapped hole, a nut, or a channel nut behind the material. If you're fastening into sheet metal with no prepared thread, a machine screw is the wrong choice; you'd want a self-drilling or thread-forming screw instead.
4) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP120SFC?
100 pieces per box. For MRO and facility buyers standardizing tamper resistant hardware across a site, that's enough to cover a run of panel covers or fixture enclosures from one order rather than mixing head styles across openings.
5) What is the TP120SFC part number used for ordering?
TP120SFC is the Metallics manufacturer part number for the 1/4-20 x 1-1/2 flat head hex pin tamper resistant machine screw, sold 100 to a box. That's the number to quote to a distributor; the description string itself is just the spec breakdown of the same item.
