Metallics TP700SRC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and type of screw is the Metallics TP700SRC?
The TP700SRC is a #6 x 1/4 inch sheet metal screw with a round head, one-way tamper resistant drive, made in the USA from 18-8 stainless steel. It is sold 100 pieces to a box.
2) Can a one-way screw like the Metallics TP700SRC be removed after it is installed?
Not with a standard screwdriver, and that is the point. A one-way drive takes a flat blade in the install direction and cams out in reverse, so once the #6 x 1/4 screw is seated it resists backing out by hand. Removal normally means a dedicated one-way screw extractor or drilling the head. Use it where you want a cover, plate, or enclosure to stay put in a public area; use a conventional slotted or Phillips sheet metal screw anywhere you expect routine service access.
3) Will the 18-8 stainless on the TP700SRC hold up outdoors or in a damp location?
18-8 is the common 300 series austenitic stainless and it handles damp interior, washdown, and general exterior exposure far better than a plated carbon steel screw. It is not the right pick for direct saltwater or heavy chloride exposure, where a 316 fastener is the usual call. For electrical cover plates, enclosures, and device trim in corrosive or humid rooms, the 18-8 TP700SRC is the appropriate grade.
4) How short is a 1/4 inch screw really, and what thickness can it fasten?
At 1/4 inch of overall screw length under the round head, the TP700SRC is a thin stack fastener. It is sized for a cover plate or light gauge trim into sheet metal or a tapped hole, not for anything with depth. If you are going through a plate plus a spacer, or into a thicker substrate, step up to a longer #6 sheet metal screw.
5) How many Metallics TP700SRC screws come in a box?
One hundred pieces per box, all #6 x 1/4 one-way round head stainless sheet metal screws. For an MRO crib standardizing tamper resistant hardware across a facility, that is a single part number to stock rather than loose counts.
