Metallics TP100SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a special driver for the Metallics TP100SBC button head pin screws?
Yes. These are pin-in-hex tamper resistant screws, so a plain hex key will not seat. The head has a center pin, which requires a matching pin-in-hex (hex pin) driver bit or key of the correct size. Order the driver along with the screws if you don't already carry one, otherwise the fasteners cannot be installed or removed.
2) Will the Metallics TP100SBC replace the factory screws in my switch and receptacle plates?
If the existing plate screws are 6-32, yes, the thread matches. Watch the length: the TP100SBC is 1/2 inch, which suits a typical plate into a tapped device ear or box. On deep or stacked assemblies that currently use a longer screw, 1/2 inch may not reach enough thread, so measure the screw you are pulling out first. Also note the head is a button head rather than a flat countersunk head, so it sits above the plate surface rather than flush.
3) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP100SBC?
100 pieces per pack. For a job where you're securing device plates or covers with tamper resistant hardware, that covers roughly 50 two-screw plates or 25 four-screw covers, so figure your box count off your device count before you order.
4) Why use tamper resistant screws instead of standard slotted plate screws in a public building?
Standard slotted or Phillips cover screws can be backed out with anything in a pocket. A pin-in-hex button head like the TP100SBC needs a specific pinned driver, which is what you want on receptacle and switch plates, junction box covers, and enclosures in schools, transit areas, correctional work, healthcare corridors, and anywhere else the public can reach the device. It is the same 6-32 thread as the screw you are replacing, so no re-tapping is involved.
