Metallics TP603SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP603SBC tamper resistant screw?
These are pin-in-star (pin-in-Torx) tamper resistant screws, so a standard Torx bit will not seat. You need a pin-in-Torx security bit, which has a hole bored down the center to clear the pin in the recess. Plan on having the right bit on the truck before the install, because no ordinary star or Phillips driver will turn them.
2) Are these #6 screws stainless, and will they hold up outdoors or in a damp location?
The TP603SBC is made from 18-8 stainless steel, the austenitic grade commonly specified for general corrosion resistance in exterior and damp interior work. That makes it a reasonable pick for outdoor enclosure covers, wet-location plates and coastal-adjacent jobs where a plated carbon steel screw would rust and seize.
3) Is the Metallics TP603SBC a sheet metal screw or a machine screw?
It is a sheet metal screw (SMS), so it cuts its own thread in sheet metal, thin plate or a pilot hole rather than mating with a pre-tapped machine thread. If you are fastening into tapped holes in an enclosure or a strut nut, you want a machine screw instead, not this one.
4) Will a button head tamper screw sit flush, or do I need a flat head for a cover plate?
The TP603SBC has a button head, which leaves a rounded crown above the surface. If your plate or cover is countersunk and the spec calls for the fastener to finish flush, a button head is the wrong profile and you want a flat head pin-in-star screw in the same #6 size instead.
5) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP603SBC?
They come 100 pieces to a pack, which is the usual way these security fasteners are bought for a multi-unit or multi-panel job rather than piece by piece.
