Metallics TP615SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and type of screw is the Metallics TP615SBC?
It's a #14 x 3/4 inch sheet metal screw with a button head and a pin-in-star (tamper resistant Torx) drive, made of 18-8 stainless steel. Sold 100 pieces to the box. Short enough for sheet metal, strut, enclosure covers, and panel work where you want the fastener to resist casual removal.
2) Do I need a special driver for the TP615SBC tamper resistant screws?
Yes. The pin-in-star head has a post in the center of the recess, so a standard Torx bit will not seat. You need a pin-in-Torx (tamper resistant star) bit sized to the recess. Order the bits at the same time or the box of 100 screws sits unused on the truck.
3) Are the TP615SBC screws okay for outdoor or damp locations?
The 18-8 stainless material handles outdoor and damp-location work far better than a plated carbon steel screw, which is why it's specified on exterior enclosures, covers, and coastal or wash-down installs. 18-8 is the common austenitic stainless grade (roughly 18% chromium, 8% nickel) used for general corrosion resistance.
4) Will a #14 x 3/4 sheet metal screw hold in a drilled hole or do I need a nut?
A sheet metal screw like this one cuts its own thread in the material, so it goes into a pilot hole in sheet steel, aluminum, or a knockout cover without a nut behind it. With 3/4 inch of length, usable thread engagement is short, so it's intended for sheet and thin-gauge stock, not for thick structural members or for spanning a thick stack of material.
5) Why choose a button head instead of a flat head for enclosure covers?
The button head on the TP615SBC sits on top of the surface with a low domed profile, so it does not need a countersunk hole. If your cover or panel is already countersunk for a flush fastener, a button head is the wrong choice and you want a flat head tamper resistant screw instead.
6) How many Metallics TP615SBC screws come in a box?
Each box holds 100 screws, all one size: #14 x 3/4 inch. For a facility standardizing on tamper resistant hardware across multiple panels, count your cover screws per enclosure and order boxes accordingly rather than counting on partial quantities.
