Metallics TP104SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread is the Metallics TP104SBC tamper-resistant screw?
The TP104SBC is a 6-32 x 1-1/2 inch machine screw, so it takes a standard 6-32 threaded hole or nut and gives you 1-1/2 inches of length. The 6-32 designation means a #6 diameter with 32 threads per inch, which is the common machine-screw thread on electrical device plates and enclosure hardware.
2) What kind of driver do I need for the TP104SBC button head pin screw?
It is a hex pin drive, also called a pin-in-hex or tamper-resistant hex. A standard hex key will not seat because of the pin in the center of the recess, so you need a pin-in-hex bit or key sized for a #6 screw. Order the driver along with the screws if your techs do not already carry pin-hex bits.
3) Are these screws tamper-resistant for public restroom or vandal-prone installs?
Yes. The TP104SBC is a tamper-resistant machine screw with a pin-in-hex recess, which blocks a plain hex key and ordinary screwdrivers. That is why they get specified for device plates, covers and fixtures in schools, transit areas, correctional work and public restrooms where ordinary screws walk off.
4) Is a 1-1/2 inch 6-32 screw too long for a standard wall plate?
Likely yes for a flush plate on a standard device box, where 6-32 screws are usually much shorter. The 1-1/2 inch length on the TP104SBC is for deeper stack-ups, think thick plates, spacers, extension rings, or gang covers over recessed devices. Measure your total stack and the depth of threaded engagement available before ordering this length.
5) Will the button head on these screws sit flush?
No. A button head is a low, rounded head that sits on top of the surface, not countersunk into it. If you need a flush face you want a flat head tamper-resistant screw instead. The button head on the TP104SBC also leaves less edge for a tool to grab, which helps on tamper-resistant applications.
6) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP104SBC?
Each pack is 100 pieces of the 6-32 x 1-1/2 screw, so it suits MRO stock or a multi-device job rather than a single replacement. One model, TP104SBC, covers the whole pack.
