Metallics TP306SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics TP306SFC machine screw thread into a standard electrical box or device tapped hole?
The TP306SFC is an 8-32 machine screw, which is the standard thread used on outlet boxes, device mounting ears, cover plates and fixture straps in US electrical work. Length is 1/2 inch, so it suits tapped holes and thin stack-ups rather than deep mounting through a plaster ring.
2) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP306SFC tamper-resistant screw?
It is a spanner (snake-eye) tamper-resistant head, so a standard Phillips or slotted bit will not turn it. You need a spanner bit or driver sized for a #8 screw. Plan on having one on the van before you install these, since they cannot be removed with common bits, which is the point of using them.
3) Is the TP306SFC head flush or raised once installed?
Flat head, so it sits flush when driven into a countersunk or chamfered hole. That matters on cover plates and panel faces where a protruding head would catch or look wrong. On a flat, untapered hole the head will stand slightly proud.
4) Should I use a spanner-head screw like the TP306SFC or a standard Phillips machine screw?
Use the spanner version where you want to keep the public out of a device: restrooms, schools, transit areas, detention, exposed cover plates in common areas of multi-family buildings. For anything in a locked room, a mechanical space, or a panel only staff reach, a standard 8-32 Phillips machine screw is cheaper to install and far easier to service. Tamper-resistant heads also slow your own maintenance crew down, so standardize on them only where vandalism or tampering is the actual problem.
5) How many Metallics TP306SFC screws come in a pack?
Sold 100 pieces to the pack under part number TP306SFC. For an MRO or institutional buyer standardizing on tamper-resistant device screws across a building, that is enough to do roughly 50 duplex cover plates at two screws each.
