Metallics TP305SPC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a special bit for these tamper resistant spanner head screws?
Yes. The TP305SPC uses a spanner (snake eye) drive, which is two round holes in the face of the head rather than a slot or cross recess. A standard flat, Phillips, or Torx bit will not turn it. You need a spanner bit or spanner screwdriver in the matching size, ordered separately, and that's exactly the point of the fastener: it keeps covers and devices closed to anyone without the tool.
2) Will a 6-32 x 2 inch machine screw thread into a standard steel electrical box?
Yes, as long as you're threading into 6-32 tapped holes, which is the standard device mounting thread in steel boxes, plaster rings, and mud rings. The TP305SPC is a machine screw, not a self-tapping sheet metal screw, so it needs an existing tapped hole or a nut. Pick the 2 inch length when the box is set deep behind tile, panel, or stacked extension rings; for a flush box the standard shorter device screw is the right call.
3) Is the Metallics TP305SPC a pan head or a flat head screw?
Pan head. The head sits on top of the surface with a flat bearing face and a rounded crown, so it does not need a countersunk hole. If your cover plate or escutcheon is countersunk and you want the head flush, a pan head is the wrong profile and you want a flat head tamper resistant screw instead.
4) What is the part number to order Metallics 6-32 x 2 inch spanner machine screws?
Order Metallics TP305SPC. That part number covers the 6-32 x 2 inch pan head spanner tamper resistant machine screw, supplied 100 to a box, and is the single model offered under it.
5) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP305SPC?
100 pieces per box, all 6-32 x 2 inch pan head spanner machine screws. For a facility standardizing on tamper resistant device screws across restrooms, transit areas, schools, or detention-adjacent spaces, that's enough to do a sizeable run of openings off one order and keep the same drive tool for all of them.
