Metallics TP208SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for a Metallics TP208SFC star pin screw?
It takes a tamper-resistant star (pin-in-Torx) bit, not a standard Torx. The recess has a post in the center, so a solid Torx bit will bottom out on the pin and won't seat. You need a security Torx bit with the matching hole bored down the middle.
2) Why would I use a tamper-resistant screw like the TP208SFC instead of a plain machine screw?
The pin-in-star drive is there to stop casual removal. On electrical work that means device plates, covers, enclosures and fixtures in public corridors, schools, transit areas, restrooms and multi-family common space, where a Phillips head invites someone with a pocket screwdriver. Function is identical to a standard 8-32 machine screw otherwise, so it drops into the same tapped hole.
3) Is the Metallics TP208SFC a flat head screw, and will it sit flush?
Flat head, so it is made to sit flush in a countersunk hole. The mating hole or plate has to be countersunk to accept the tapered head; in a straight-bored hole the head will stand proud. For a cover that is not countersunk, specify a pan or round head instead.
4) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP208SFC?
They ship 100 pieces to the pack under part number TP208SFC. That quantity suits plate-and-cover work across a floor or building rather than a one-off repair, which is the usual reason an MRO or electrical contractor buys security fasteners by the box.
