Metallics TP200SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP200SFC tamper-resistant screws?
The TP200SFC takes a pin-in-star (tamper-resistant Torx) bit, not a standard Torx. The star recess has a center pin, so a plain T-bit will not seat. Stock the matching pin-in-star bit before the install, since these are commonly used on cover plates and enclosures where you do not want the screw backed out with a common driver.
2) Will a 6-32 x 1/2 machine screw thread into a standard electrical box or device plate?
Yes. 6-32 is the standard thread used for device plates, receptacles and switches in North American boxes, and the TP200SFC is a 6-32 machine screw at 1/2 inch length. Machine thread means it needs a tapped hole or a nut, not sheet metal or wood.
3) Are these Metallics screws stainless, and can they be used outdoors or in damp locations?
They are 18-8 stainless steel, the common austenitic grade used for corrosion resistance in wet and exterior locations. For coastal or heavy chloride exposure, 316 stainless is the step up, but 18-8 covers typical damp and outdoor electrical work.
4) Does the TP200SFC sit flush, or will the head stand proud of the plate?
Flat head, so it seats flush in a countersunk hole. If the plate or cover is not countersunk, the head will stand proud; use a countersunk device plate or a different head style for a flat surface.
5) Is 1/2 inch long enough for mounting a cover over an extension ring or mud ring?
The TP200SFC gives 1/2 inch of 6-32 thread, which covers a standard plate on a flush box or mud ring. Once you stack a thick cover, gasket, or a raised ring that sets the tapped ear back, 1/2 inch can run short and you will want a longer 6-32 machine screw.
6) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP200SFC?
100 pieces per pack, sold under part number TP200SFC. That is enough for a run of plates or enclosure covers on a single job rather than a one-off repair.
