Metallics TP308SPC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics TP308SPC screws?
The TP308SPC is an 8-32 x 1 inch machine screw, so it threads into a tapped 8-32 hole (such as a device box or plaster ring boss) and gives you a full inch of length for thicker build-ups like multiple mud rings or a deep plaster ring.
2) What kind of driver do I need for the Metallics TP308SPC tamper resistant screws?
These are spanner head screws, which take a two-pin spanner (snake eye) bit, not a Phillips or a flat blade. If your crew doesn't already carry spanner bits in the right size, order them along with the screws or the fasteners can't be installed or removed on site.
3) Will spanner head machine screws stop the public from opening device plates in a school or transit station?
That is exactly what the TP308SPC is for. The pan head with a spanner (two-pin) recess can't be turned with a screwdriver, coin, or Phillips bit, so cover plates, wireways, and enclosures in corridors, restrooms, holding areas, and platforms stay closed unless someone has the matching spanner driver. It is a deterrent fastener, not a lock, so pair it with a keyed enclosure where real security is required.
4) Will a pan head screw sit flush on a device cover plate?
No. The TP308SPC has a pan head, which seats on top of the plate rather than sinking into it. If your plate is countersunk for flush screws, you need an oval or flat head tamper resistant screw instead. Pan heads are the right choice on flat-drilled plates, box ears, and plaster rings where a raised head is normal.
5) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP308SPC?
One hundred pieces per box. For a retrofit where you are swapping standard device screws out for tamper resistant ones, figure two screws per single-gang plate, so a 100 piece box covers roughly 50 devices.
6) What is the Metallics part number to order for 8-32 x 1 spanner screws?
Order Metallics TP308SPC. That manufacturer part number covers the 8-32 x 1 inch pan head spanner tamper resistant machine screw in the 100 piece pack.
