Metallics TP110SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP110SFC screw?
It takes a hex pin driver. The head is a hex socket with a pin in the center, so a plain hex (Allen) key will not seat, you need the matching pin-in-hex security bit. Plan on having that bit on the truck before you start the install.
2) Will a 2 inch long 8-32 screw be too long for a device cover?
Two inches is a long reach for an 8-32, well past the roughly 1/2 to 3/4 inch screw that comes with a typical wall plate or device. It is meant for deep stack-ups, thick guards, spacers, or where the tapped point sits well behind the face. For a flush plate on a standard box, the 2 inch length will bottom out or protrude and you want a shorter 8-32 tamper screw instead.
3) Are these Metallics 8-32 screws stainless steel?
Yes, 18-8 stainless. That is the common 300 series austenitic stainless used for fasteners, so it resists rust better than plated steel and is the usual choice for damp or exterior-adjacent locations.
4) Why use a hex pin tamper-resistant screw instead of a standard Phillips machine screw?
The pin in the center of the hex socket blocks any common driver, so a cover, guard, or enclosure plate can't be opened with what's in a pocket. Use these where public access is the concern, restrooms, transit, schools, correctional, exposed electrical device covers. If the fastener is out of reach or inside a locked space, a standard 8-32 machine screw does the same mechanical job for less effort at install.
5) Does the flat head on the TP110SFC sit flush?
It will, but only into a countersunk hole. A flat head is designed to seat in an 82 degree countersink and finish level with the surface. Against a flat unchamfered plate it will stand proud, so confirm the part you are fastening is countersunk for a flat head rather than drilled straight through.
6) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP110SFC?
100 pieces per box. For MRO or institutional buyers standardizing tamper-resistant hardware across a facility, that is enough to cover a run of covers or plates without reordering per door.
7) Can I use stainless 18-8 tamper screws outdoors or in a wet location?
18-8 stainless holds up to moisture far better than zinc-plated steel, which is why it is specified for exterior and washdown work. It is not as corrosion resistant as 316 in chloride-heavy coastal or pool chemical environments, so for those pick a 316 stainless fastener.
