Metallics TP302SPC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Metallics TP302SPC take a normal screwdriver, or do I need a special bit?
You need a tamper-resistant spanner bit. The TP302SPC is a spanner (snake-eye) tamper-resistant pan head screw, meaning the head has two round holes instead of a slot or cross recess, and a Phillips, slotted or Torx driver will not engage it. If you are specifying these for a public restroom, transit shelter, school corridor or anywhere people pick at coverplates, order the matching spanner driver bits at the same time, otherwise you cannot install or service them.
2) What is the head style on the Metallics TP302SPC, and will it sit flat on a coverplate?
Pan head, not flat head. A pan head seats on the surface of the plate with a low rounded crown above it, so it does not require a countersunk hole and it will not pull into a flat-countersunk plate the way a flat head does. If your plate or escutcheon is countersunk for a flush finish, you want a flat head tamper-resistant screw instead of this one.
3) Which Metallics part number do I order for a 6-32 x 1 inch spanner tamper-proof pan head screw?
Order Metallics TP302SPC. That part number is the 6-32 x 1 inch pan head spanner tamper-resistant machine screw, supplied 100 to a pack. Use the full designation when ordering, since the TP3xx tamper-proof screws run across several thread sizes and lengths.
4) Can I use the Metallics TP302SPC in a self-tapping application like sheet metal or wood?
No. It is a machine screw, so it needs a pre-tapped 6-32 hole or a 6-32 nut. It will not cut its own thread in sheet metal, drywall or wood. For tapped device boxes, mounting straps and fixture housings it drops straight in; for anything untapped you need a self-drilling or sheet metal screw instead.
5) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP302SPC?
Each pack is 100 pieces of the 6-32 x 1 inch spanner tamper-resistant pan head screw. That quantity suits a facility standardizing on tamper-resistant coverplate screws across a floor or a building, rather than a single device swap. Order by the pack and keep the spanner bit with the stock.
