Metallics TP701SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics TP701SFC spanner screws?
They are 6-32 x 3 inch machine screws. The 6-32 thread is the standard machine screw thread used on device and cover plate hardware, and the 3 inch length is long enough to reach back through deep plates, spacers, or extension rings rather than just a flush wall plate.
2) Do I need a special driver for 6-32 flat head spanner screws?
Yes. A spanner head takes a two-pin spanner (snake eye) bit, not a Phillips or slotted driver. The TP701SFC is a tamper resistant fastener by design, so a standard screwdriver will not seat in it. Order the matching spanner bit along with the screws if you do not already carry one.
3) Will a flat head spanner screw sit flush in a countersunk plate?
A flat head is made to sit flush when the hole is countersunk. On a plate or cover with a plain, non-countersunk hole the head will stand proud. For flush appearance on stamped plates without a countersink, you want an oval or round head instead.
4) Are these spanner screws good for keeping tenants out of electrical devices?
That is what they are for. Swapping the standard Phillips screws on switch plates, receptacle covers, and junction box covers for 6-32 spanner screws means anyone without a spanner bit cannot open them. Common in schools, correctional facilities, transit, and multi-family common areas. Keep in mind the 3 inch length is long for a plain wall plate, so it is better matched to deep assemblies or where the screw passes through spacers.
5) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP701SFC?
100 pieces per pack. That quantity suits a contractor or MRO buyer standardizing tamper resistant hardware across a run of devices rather than a one-off repair.
6) What is the exact part number to order these Metallics tamper resistant screws?
Metallics part number TP701SFC. It is the single model on the line, so no finish or size selection is needed when ordering.
