Metallics TP614SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics TP614SBC tamper resistant screw?
You need a pin-in star (pin-in-Torx) security bit, not a standard Torx. The TP614SBC head is a button star drive with a center pin, so a solid Torx bit will bottom out on the pin and won't seat. Size the bit to a #14 screw and make sure it's the pin-head version.
2) Are these Metallics TP614SBC screws stainless and can they go outdoors?
They're 18-8 stainless steel, which is the common austenitic grade used for general corrosion resistance in damp and outdoor locations. For coastal salt-spray exposure, buyers typically step up to a 316 grade instead.
3) Can I match the Metallics TP614SBC to screws already installed on my equipment?
Check three things on the existing fastener: a #14 diameter, a 1/2 inch length under the head, and a button head with a pinned star recess. If all three line up and the existing screw is a sheet metal thread rather than a machine thread, TP614SBC is the same fastener. A machine screw of the same nominal size will not interchange, since the thread pitch is different.
4) Why use a button head screw instead of a flat head on a cover plate?
A button head sits proud on the surface and needs no countersink, so it works on flat sheet, covers and panels with a plain drilled hole. The TP614SBC pairs that low-dome head with a pinned star drive, which is the usual choice when you want the fastener to resist removal on public-facing enclosures, covers and fixture housings. A flat head would require a countersunk or dimpled hole to sit flush.
5) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP614SBC?
Each pack holds 100 screws, ordered under part number TP614SBC. That quantity is the practical unit for crews doing repeat panel and cover work rather than a one-off repair.
