Metallics TP602SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a special bit to install pin-in-star tamper resistant screws?
Yes. The TP602SFC uses a star drive with a center pin, which blocks a solid Torx bit from seating. You need a pin-in-Torx (Torx-pin) bit of the matching size, so order the driver with the screws if you don't already carry it.
2) Will a #6 x 1 inch flat head stainless screw work for outdoor or damp-location enclosures?
18-8 stainless is the usual choice for wet and outdoor work because it resists corrosion far better than plated steel, which is why these screws get used on exterior covers, fixtures and panels. The flat head sits flush when the hole is countersunk.
3) Why use a tamper resistant screw instead of a standard Phillips sheet metal screw?
Tamper resistant drives are chosen where you don't want the public opening the thing you just closed: exterior lighting, device plates and covers in common areas, transit and institutional spaces. A Phillips screw comes out with any screwdriver in a toolbox; a pin-in-star screw needs the matching pin bit. Everything else about the TP602SFC is conventional, a #6 x 1 inch sheet metal thread with a flat head.
4) Does a sheet metal screw like this need a pilot hole or a tapped thread?
No tapping required. Sheet metal threads on the #6 x 1 inch TP602SFC cut their own grip in sheet steel, aluminum or a plastic enclosure through a drilled pilot hole. For a flush finish with the flat head, countersink the hole in the top sheet.
5) How many Metallics TP602SFC screws come in a pack?
100 screws per pack, one part number (TP602SFC). That quantity is aimed at MRO and fixture work where you're securing many covers or plates on the same tamper resistant drive, so one bit services the whole building.
