Metallics TP109SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a special driver for a hex pin tamper-resistant screw?
Yes. The hex pin drive on the TP109SFC has a post in the center of a hex recess, so a standard hex key or Allen bit will not seat. You need a pin-in-hex (hollow hex) bit or key sized to the recess. That is the point of the fastener: the hardware cannot be removed with the tools in a normal pouch. Order the driver separately, it is not part of the 100 piece pack.
2) Will a flat head 8-32 screw sit flush in my cover plate?
It will if the hole is countersunk. The TP109SFC has a flat (countersunk) head, which is made to sit flush in a chamfered or countersunk hole. Drop it into a straight-drilled or punched hole with no countersink and the head will stand proud. For a flat-faced plate with no chamfer, you want a pan or truss head instead.
3) What are tamper-resistant machine screws like this used for on an electrical job?
They secure cover plates, enclosure covers, device plates and panel hardware in places where the public can reach them, schools, transit, correctional, restrooms, lobbies, multi-family common areas. The hex pin head means a vandal with a screwdriver or hex key cannot pull the cover. The 1-1/2 inch length on the TP109SFC suits a thicker stack-up than a standard 1/2 inch plate screw: through a plate, a spacer or trim, and into a tapped hole or nut.
4) How many Metallics TP109SFC screws come in a box, and what is the part number to order?
Order under Metallics part number TP109SFC. Each pack is 100 screws, which covers a full floor of device plates or an enclosure retrofit without reordering. There is one configuration, 8-32 x 1-1/2 flat head hex pin, so there is no finish or length option to specify.
