Metallics TP108SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics TP108SFC a tamper resistant screw, and what driver does it take?
It is a tamper resistant screw with a pin-in-hex (hex pin) drive, so a standard hex key will not seat in it. You need a security hex bit with a center hole sized for the pin. Plan on having the matching tamper bit on the truck before the install, since no common driver will work.
2) Will the TP108SFC flat head sit flush in a countersunk cover plate?
Yes, the flat head is made to seat in a countersunk hole and finish flush with the surface. If your plate or enclosure cover has a straight, non-countersunk clearance hole, the head will stand proud and you want a round or pan head 8-32 instead.
3) Can I use the Metallics TP108SFC to secure covers in a public or high traffic building?
That is what it is for. The pin-in-hex tamper resistant head on this 8-32 x 1-1/4 machine screw keeps covers and plates from being opened with ordinary tools, which is why property managers and institutional maintenance crews use them in corridors, restrooms, schools, and transit spaces.
4) Is the TP108SFC a self-tapping screw or does it need a threaded hole?
It is a machine screw, not a self-tapper. The 8-32 threads need an existing tapped hole or a nut to bite into. For drilling into sheet metal without a tapped hole, use a self-drilling or thread-cutting screw instead.
5) How many Metallics TP108SFC screws come in a box?
They are packed 100 pieces per box, which suits an electrician or MRO buyer doing a run of device plates or enclosure covers rather than a single repair.
