Metallics TP518SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a regular hex key back out the TP518SBC screw?
No. The TP518SBC uses a pin-in-hex head, and the center pin blocks a solid hex key or bit from seating. That is the point of the fastener, it keeps covers, enclosures, guards and signage from being removed with tools anyone carries. Have the correct hex pin bit on hand before installing, or you will not get them out again.
2) Is the TP518SBC a sheet metal screw or a machine screw?
Sheet metal screw. The TP518SBC is an SMS type, so it cuts its own thread in sheet metal, thin steel, plastic panel or a pilot-drilled substrate rather than threading into a tapped machine hole. For a tapped hole you want a tamper-resistant machine screw instead.
3) What is the Metallics tamper-resistant screw part number to order for #14 x 1-1/2?
Order Metallics TP518SBC. That is the manufacturer part number for the #14 x 1-1/2 inch button head hex pin tamper-resistant sheet metal screw, supplied 100 to a pack.
4) Does a button head screw sit flush with the panel surface?
No, a button head is a low rounded head that sits on top of the surface, not in it. The TP518SBC needs no countersink, which makes it workable on thin sheet metal where a flat head would pull through, but it does leave a low dome proud of the panel. If you need the head buried, use a flat head tamper-resistant screw with a countersunk hole.
5) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP518SBC?
Each pack is 100 screws, so one box covers a full run of panel or cover fastening without splitting orders across multiple packs.
