Metallics TP300SPC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a special driver for the Metallics TP300SPC tamper resistant screws?
Yes. These are spanner head (two-hole) tamper resistant screws, so a standard flat or Phillips driver will not turn them. You need a spanner bit or spanner driver sized to the two drive holes. Order the bit at the same time if your crew does not already carry one, or the screws cannot be installed or removed on site.
2) Why would I use tamper resistant screws instead of standard 6-32 cover screws?
Spanner head screws are specified where you do not want the public opening a cover: wallplates and device covers in schools, transit areas, correctional facilities, hospitality common areas, and multi-family hallways. Because the drive takes a dedicated spanner bit, a tenant or passerby with a pocket screwdriver cannot pull the plate. For back-of-house or in-unit work where that is not a concern, a plain 6-32 x 1/2 pan head combo screw is the cheaper and faster choice.
3) Will a 1/2 inch 6-32 screw be long enough to hold my wallplate?
At 1/2 inch of overall screw length, the TP300SPC is sized for standard device plate and cover applications where the plate sits flat against a flush-mounted device or box ear. If your plate is stacked over a thick gasket, a mud ring with a deep offset, or a box set back behind the finished wall, you will run out of thread and need a longer 6-32 machine screw instead.
4) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP300SPC?
Each pack holds 100 screws, which covers roughly 50 single-gang plates at two screws each or 100 single-screw covers. For a building-wide standardization job, count your device plates and multiply by the screws per plate before deciding how many packs to put on the order.
5) Are the Metallics TP300SPC screws made in the USA?
Yes, the TP300SPC spanner head machine screws are USA made, which matters on government, transit, and federally funded projects carrying domestic sourcing language in the spec.
6) What is the part number to reorder these tamper resistant pan head screws?
Order Metallics part number TP300SPC. That number covers the 6-32 x 1/2 inch spanner head tamper resistant machine screw in the 100 piece pack, and it is the single model offered, so there are no finish or length options to specify alongside it.
