Metallics TP809SOC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a special driver for the Metallics TP809SOC spanner screws?
Yes. These are spanner (snake eye) tamper resistant machine screws, so a flat or Phillips bit will not drive them. You need a spanner bit sized for a 6-32 head. Order the driver with the screws if you don't already keep one on the truck, otherwise the fasteners can't be installed or removed.
2) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP809SOC?
100 screws per pack. That is a single bulk box of one size, 6-32 x 1-1/2, so for a fixture job needing mixed lengths you'll be ordering more than one part number.
3) Is an oval head screw the right choice for a cover plate or wall plate?
Oval head works where you want a countersunk seat with a slightly raised, finished crown, which is what the TP809SOC provides. It needs a countersunk or chamfered hole to sit properly. If the plate has a flat unchamfered hole, a truss or round head sits better; if the head must finish flush, use flat head instead.
4) What is the Metallics part number to order these tamper resistant 6-32 screws?
Metallics part number TP809SOC. That number covers the 6-32 x 1-1/2 oval head spanner tamper resistant machine screw in the 100 piece pack, so a distributor quoting against it is quoting one size only.
5) Are these tamper resistant screws intended for electrical work?
Yes, Metallics groups the TP809SOC with its electrical fasteners. Typical use is securing device plates, covers, and enclosure panels in public or high traffic spaces where you don't want them opened with a common screwdriver. Nothing about the thread restricts them to electrical work, though, a 6-32 tapped hole is a 6-32 tapped hole.
