Metallics TP332SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics TP332SFC tamper resistant screws?
The TP332SFC is a 6-32 x 2 inch machine screw. The 6-32 thread is a machine screw thread, so it mates with a tapped hole or a 6-32 nut, not with wood or sheet metal on its own. At 2 inches of length under a flat head, it is long enough to pass through a cover plate and a deep box or spacer stack and still pick up threads.
2) What driver do I need for a hex pin tamper resistant screw like the TP332SFC?
It takes a pin-in-hex (hex pin) security bit, not a standard Allen key. The center pin in the recess blocks a plain hex wrench, so you need the matching pin-hex bit or driver on site. Order the bit with the screws if your crew does not already carry security bits.
3) Are these screws stainless steel and can they be used outdoors or in damp locations?
They are 18-8 stainless steel, the common 300-series austenitic grade used for general corrosion resistance. That makes them a reasonable choice for damp interior work, washdown areas, and exterior fixtures where plain zinc-plated steel would rust. For marine or chloride-heavy exposure, a 316 stainless fastener is the better pick.
4) Will a flat head screw sit flush on my cover plate or faceplate?
Yes, if the hole is countersunk. The TP332SFC uses a flat head, which is designed to seat into a countersunk or chamfered hole and finish flush with the surface. On a plate with a flat, non-countersunk hole the head will stand proud, so check the plate prep before you commit to flat head versus a pan or truss head.
5) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP332SFC?
Each box holds 100 pieces of the 6-32 x 2 inch tamper resistant flat head machine screw. For MRO stockrooms standardizing tamper resistant hardware across a facility, that is one part number covering a full plate-replacement run rather than loose counts.
6) What is the exact part number to order for the Metallics 6-32 x 2 inch hex pin stainless screw?
Order Metallics part number TP332SFC. That one number covers the 6-32 x 2 inch flat head, hex pin tamper resistant, 18-8 stainless machine screw in the 100-piece box.
