Metallics TP301SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP301SFC spanner screw?
It takes a spanner bit, also called a snake eye, two round drive holes in the head rather than a slot or Phillips. A standard screwdriver will not turn it, which is the whole point of the fastener. Order the matching spanner bit or driver separately, since it is not supplied with the screws.
2) Why use a tamper-resistant screw instead of a standard 6-32 plate screw?
In schools, transit areas, detention, lobbies, and other public or high-abuse spaces, a standard slotted plate screw can be backed out with a coin or a knife. The TP301SFC uses a spanner drive, so the cover or plate cannot be removed without the matching bit. For back-of-house or tenant spaces where that is not a concern, a plain 6-32 flat head machine screw is the cheaper choice.
3) Will the flat head sit flush on a stainless wall plate?
Yes, as long as the plate hole is countersunk. The TP301SFC is a flat head, so it is made to seat down into a countersunk or beveled hole and finish flush with the plate face. On a plate with a flat, non-countersunk hole the head will stand slightly proud; a pan or oval head screw is the match for that prep.
4) Is 3/4 inch long enough for a 6-32 device screw, or do I need a longer one?
At 3/4 inch, the TP301SFC is longer than the 1/2 inch screw that typically ships with a device, so it gives extra reach where the box is set back behind tile, drywall shims, or a mud ring and the device strap does not land tight to the finished surface. For a flush box with a standard plate, 3/4 inch leaves thread to spare in the yoke, which is fine. Deeper setbacks than that need a 1 inch or longer 6-32.
5) How many Metallics TP301SFC screws come in a pack?
Each pack is 100 pieces, which covers a full floor of device plates on a commercial job without reordering. The screws are US made.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 6-32 x 3/4 spanner flat head screw?
Order it as Metallics TP301SFC. That number covers the 6-32 x 3/4 inch flat head spanner tamper-resistant machine screw in the 100 piece pack.
