Metallics TP600SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP600SFC tamper resistant screw?
The TP600SFC is a star pin head, so a standard Torx bit will not seat. You need a pin-in-star (tamper resistant Torx) bit sized to a #6 screw head, which has a hollow center to clear the pin in the middle of the recess. That pin is the whole point of the fastener: it keeps anyone without the matching security bit from backing the screw out, which is why these turn up on cover plates, enclosures and public-area fixtures.
2) Are these Metallics security screws stainless, and can they go outdoors?
They are 18-8 stainless steel, the common austenitic stainless used for fasteners, which gives good corrosion resistance in damp and outdoor-exposed locations and will not rust-stain a cover plate the way a plated carbon steel screw can. 18-8 is also non-magnetic in the annealed condition, which matters if you are working near sensitive equipment.
3) Does the TP600SFC sit flush, or does the head stand proud of the plate?
Flat head (FH), so it sits flush when driven into a countersunk or dimpled hole. On a stamped cover plate with a plain drilled hole the head will stand slightly above the surface. If you need a flush finish on flat stock, countersink the hole for an 82 degree head.
4) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP600SFC?
100 pieces per pack, all one size (#6 x 1/2 inch). That quantity suits a route of devices or a run of cover plates in a building where you are standardizing on tamper resistant hardware, rather than a single repair.
5) What is the Metallics part number for the #6 x 1/2 star pin tamper resistant sheet metal screw?
Metallics TP600SFC. That designation covers the #6 x 1/2 inch flat head, star pin tamper resistant sheet metal screw in 18-8 stainless, supplied 100 to a pack.
