Metallics TP342SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP342SFC screw?
The TP342SFC is a spanner (snake-eye) tamper-resistant machine screw, so it takes a two-pin spanner bit, not a Phillips or Torx. Without the matching spanner driver you won't be able to set or remove it, which is the point of the head style on cover plates and public-area enclosures.
2) Will a 1/4-20 x 3/8 inch machine screw thread into my existing tapped hole?
It is a 1/4-20 machine screw thread, so it mates with a hole tapped 1/4-20 or a 1/4-20 nut. The 3/8 inch length is short, so it is for thin plates and covers over a tapped boss; if your stack-up is thicker than about 3/8 inch you will run out of thread and need a longer screw.
3) Does the Metallics TP342SFC sit flush with the surface?
Yes. It is a flat head screw, which is made to seat flush in a countersunk hole. If your plate has a plain through-hole with no countersink, the head will stand proud, so you would want a pan or truss head instead.
4) Is the Metallics TP342SFC tamper screw made in the USA?
Yes, the TP342SFC 1/4-20 x 3/8 flat head spanner machine screw is USA made, which matters on government and institutional work carrying a domestic-content requirement.
5) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP342SFC?
They ship 100 pieces to the box, which is the practical quantity if you are standardizing tamper-resistant fasteners across a building's device plates or enclosure covers rather than buying for one opening.
