Metallics TP209SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP209SFC star pin screws?
A pin-in star (tamper-resistant Torx) bit. The drive is a six-lobe star recess with a solid post in the center, so a standard Torx bit will not seat, it bottoms out on the pin. You need the security version of the bit in the matching size. Plan on having those bits on the truck before the screws arrive, since no common screwdriver will turn them.
2) Will a flat head screw sit flush, or will it stand proud of the cover plate?
Flush, provided the hole is countersunk. The TP209SFC is a flat head (FH) screw, so the underside of the head is tapered to seat into a countersunk or dimpled hole and finish level with the surface. On a plate with a straight, non-countersunk clearance hole, the head will stand proud and you would want an oval or pan head instead.
3) Are these tamper-resistant screws meant for electrical work?
Yes. The TP209SFC is an electrical fastener, a machine screw for securing covers, plates, and enclosure components where you want the hardware to resist casual removal. The 8-32 thread is the standard machine screw size used throughout electrical device and box hardware, and the pin-in-star drive keeps anyone without the security bit out.
4) Is the TP209SFC the right screw for a 1-1/2 inch reach, or will it be too long?
At 1-1/2 inches it is a long machine screw for this thread size, intended where the fastener has to pass through a thick cover, spacer, or stack-up before it picks up the tapped hole. For a standard device plate on a flush box that run of thread is excessive and the screw will bottom out or protrude behind the mounting ear. Match the length to your actual grip plus engagement.
5) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP209SFC?
100 screws per box, all one size: 8-32 x 1-1/2 inch flat head pin-in-star machine screws. That quantity suits a property manager or MRO buyer standardizing tamper-resistant hardware across a run of openings or device locations rather than a one-off repair.
