Metallics TP301SPC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the TP301SPC a tamper resistant screw, and what bit does it take?
Yes, it's a spanner drive tamper resistant screw, sometimes called snake eye. The head has two round holes rather than a slot or cross recess, so it needs a matching spanner bit or driver, not a Phillips or flat blade. Order the driver with it if you don't already keep one on the truck.
2) Why would I use a tamper resistant screw instead of a standard 6-32 device screw?
Spanner head screws are specified where the public can reach the hardware and you don't want it opened with a pocket screwdriver: transit stations, schools, correctional and detention areas, restrooms, dormitories, and exposed coverplates or fixture housings. A standard slotted or combination 6-32 screw is fine on anything behind a locked door or above an accessible ceiling and costs you less labor to drive.
3) What head style is the TP301SPC, and will it sit flush?
Pan head. It seats on top of the surface with a low rounded crown, so it does not sit flush the way a flat head in a countersunk hole would. If your plate or cover is countersunk for a flat head, a pan head will stand proud of it and you want a flat head tamper resistant screw instead.
4) What is the exact part number to order for the Metallics 6-32 x 3/4 spanner pan head screw?
The manufacturer part number is TP301SPC, from Metallics. That single number covers the 6-32 x 3/4 pan head spanner drive machine screw in the 100 piece box, so there is no finish or size suffix to add.
5) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP301SPC?
100 pieces per box. It's sold as a box quantity, not loose by the piece, so plan on one box covering roughly 25 to 50 two-screw or four-screw plate installs.
6) Is the Metallics TP301SPC made in the USA?
Yes, it's a USA made machine screw. That matters on public and federally funded work where domestic sourcing language shows up in the specification.
