Metallics TP810SOC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a special bit to install the TP810SOC tamper resistant screws?
Yes. The TP810SOC uses a spanner (snake eye) tamper resistant drive, which takes a two pin spanner bit. A standard slotted or Phillips driver will not turn it, so order the matching spanner bit along with the screws if your techs don't already carry one.
2) Are these Metallics screws stainless, and will they hold up outdoors or in damp areas?
They are 18-8 stainless steel, the common austenitic grade used for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor locations. That makes them suitable for exterior device plates, damp mechanical rooms and coastal-adjacent work where a plain steel screw would rust and seize.
3) Why a 2 inch long screw for a device plate instead of the usual short one?
The 2 inch length on the TP810SOC is for deep or stacked assemblies, where a standard device screw bottoms out before it reaches the tapped yoke: plates over thick raised covers, box extenders, insulation spacers or ganged mud rings. On a flush, standard depth box a 2 inch screw will stand proud, so pick a shorter 6-32 for those.
4) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP810SOC?
Each pack is 100 pieces of the 6-32 x 2 inch oval head spanner screw. That quantity suits an MRO or electrical crew standardizing tamper resistant plates across a building rather than a one-off repair.
5) What is the head style on the Metallics TP810SOC, and will it sit flush?
Oval head. An oval head seats in a countersunk plate hole but leaves a slight domed crown above the surface, so it is not fully flush like a flat head. It needs a countersunk hole to seat properly, not a straight drilled hole.
6) What part number do I order for Metallics 6-32 x 2 stainless spanner screws?
The manufacturer part number is TP810SOC from Metallics, covering the 6-32 x 2 inch oval head spanner tamper resistant machine screw in 18-8 stainless, 100 per pack.
