Metallics TP815SOC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a special bit to install the Metallics TP815SOC spanner screw?
Yes. The TP815SOC is a spanner (two-hole) tamper resistant head, so a standard flat or Phillips driver will not turn it. You need a spanner bit or spanner screwdriver sized for a #8 head. That is the point of the drive style: it discourages removal of covers, plates, and enclosures in public or tenant areas.
2) Will an oval head spanner screw sit flush, or does it stand above the surface?
Oval head, so it is a countersunk screw with a low rounded crown: the taper pulls into an 82 degree countersunk hole and the dome stands slightly proud of the surface. If you need a fully flush finish, a flat head is the one to use instead. For a hole that is not countersunk, the oval taper will not seat properly.
3) What is the Metallics TP815SOC tamper resistant screw used for in electrical work?
It is a tamper resistant fastener for electrical applications: securing device plates, box covers, enclosure lids, and fixture hardware where you do not want anyone opening them with a screwdriver from their pocket. The 8-32 thread is the common machine screw thread for electrical device and cover mounting, and the 1-1/2 inch length covers deeper stacks such as plates over spacers or thick covers.
4) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP815SOC?
100 screws per pack. That quantity suits fleet work, standardizing cover plates or enclosure lids across a building rather than a single fixture repair, and it keeps one drive style across the job so a crew carries one spanner bit.
