Metallics TP131SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP131SBC tamper resistant screw?
It takes a pin-in-hex (hex pin) driver, not a plain Allen key. The TP131SBC is a button head hex pin tamper resistant screw, meaning the socket has a center post that blocks a standard hex bit. Plan on a 5/16-18 sized pin-hex security bit on site, or the fasteners cannot be set or removed.
2) Are the Metallics TP131SBC screws security fasteners for public or high-traffic installations?
Yes. The hex pin tamper resistant drive is what you specify when you do not want the fastener backed out with a common tool, so it suits enclosures, panel covers, fixtures and guards in schools, transit areas, correctional and other public spaces. The low-profile button head sits close to the surface rather than standing proud like a hex cap.
3) Will the TP131SBC screw thread into a 5/16-18 tapped hole on an electrical enclosure?
It will, provided the hole is 5/16-18 coarse and at least 1-1/4 inches of grip is available between the screw's length and the material it passes through. With a 1-1/4 inch overall length, thin sheet covers leave plenty of thread engagement; thick spacers or gasketed stacks can use it up, so measure your stack-up against the 1-1/4 inch length.
4) How many Metallics TP131SBC screws come in a box?
One hundred pieces per pack. For a job where each cover or enclosure takes four fasteners, that is 25 assemblies off a single box, which is why these get bought by the box for repeat MRO and panel work rather than by the piece.
5) What is the Metallics part number to order for 5/16-18 x 1-1/4 button head pin hex security screws?
Order Metallics TP131SBC. That number covers the 5/16-18 x 1-1/4 button head hex pin tamper resistant screw in the 100 piece pack, and it is the designation to quote on a submittal or a reorder.
