Metallics TP222SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics TP222SBC tamper resistant screw?
The TP222SBC is a 3/8-16 thread machine screw with a 3/4 inch length, so it mates with a 3/8-16 tapped hole or nut. The short 3/4 inch length suits thin brackets, covers, and plates rather than deep stacked assemblies.
2) What driver do I need for a Metallics button head star pin tamper resistant screw?
It takes a pin-in-star (Torx-style with a center pin) tamper resistant bit, not a standard Torx. The pin in the middle of the recess blocks a plain star driver, so you need the matching pin-in-star bit on site before you start setting these.
3) Will a button head star pin screw work for securing electrical enclosure covers against tampering?
That is what this type is for. The button head sits low with a rounded profile, so it does not snag, and the pin-in-star recess keeps it off limits to common drivers, which is why these get specified on panel covers, junction box lids, and public-area plates. You still need a 3/8-16 tapped hole or nut on the back side, since it is a machine screw and not self-tapping.
4) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP222SBC?
They ship 100 pieces per pack, which is sized for a crew doing a run of enclosure covers, panel faces, or security plates rather than a single repair.
