Metallics TP804SOC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread is the Metallics TP804SOC machine screw?
The TP804SOC is a 6-32 x 1/2 inch machine screw. The 6-32 means a #6 diameter with 32 threads per inch, so it mates with any #6-32 tapped hole or nut, and the 1/2 inch length is the shank below the head.
2) Is the Metallics TP804SOC stainless or plated steel?
Stainless. The TP804SOC is 18-8 stainless, the common 300-series austenitic grade, so it resists rust in damp interior and sheltered exterior locations without a plated coating that can wear through.
3) What driver do I need for a spanner head screw like the TP804SOC?
A spanner (snake-eye) bit, not a Phillips or a flat blade. The TP804SOC has an oval spanner tamper-resistant head, which has two round holes in the face and takes a two-pin spanner driver in the matching size. Standard screwdrivers will not engage it, which is the point of the head style.
4) Will the TP804SOC spanner screw work in a standard wall plate or device?
It threads in fine. Electrical device and wall plate screws are 6-32, which is exactly the TP804SOC thread, so it replaces the standard screw in that hole. Two things to check on your opening: the oval head seats in a countersunk hole rather than sitting flat on a flush plate, and the 1/2 inch length is longer than many factory plate screws, so confirm there is depth behind the strap for the extra thread.
5) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP804SOC?
100 pieces per pack of the TP804SOC 6-32 x 1/2 inch spanner screw. That quantity suits panel, cover plate, and device work where you are securing many openings on one job rather than a single repair.
6) Why use a tamper-resistant screw instead of a regular Phillips in public areas?
Access control. On a cover plate or enclosure in a corridor, restroom, school, or transit space, a Phillips screw can be opened by anyone with a pocket driver. The TP804SOC oval spanner head needs a two-pin spanner bit most people do not carry, so it deters casual removal of the cover. If the fastener is inside a locked room or above a ceiling, the standard screw is simpler and you keep the common driver.
7) What is the Metallics part number for a 6-32 x 1/2 stainless spanner screw?
TP804SOC is the Metallics part number, covering the 6-32 x 1/2 inch oval spanner tamper-resistant machine screw in 18-8 stainless, sold 100 to a pack. One model, no finish or size options to specify.
