Metallics TP106SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for a Metallics hex pin tamper-resistant button head screw?
A pin-in-hex (tamper-resistant hex) bit or key. The TP106SBC has a button head with a hex socket that carries a center pin, so a standard hex key will not seat in it. You need the matching pin-in-hex security bit for the socket size. Plan on having those bits on the truck before the install, since they are not included with the screws.
2) Will an 8-32 x 3/4 screw work in a standard electrical device box or cover plate?
8-32 is the standard thread for device mounting and cover plate screws in North American electrical boxes, so the TP106SBC threads into those tapped holes. Length is the thing to check: at 3/4 inch it is longer than the typical cover plate screw, which suits mounting through a plate plus a spacer, a thicker cover, or a device ear with a gap behind it. For a flush plate straight to the box ear, a shorter 8-32 is usually the better pick.
3) Why use a tamper-resistant screw like this on electrical devices or covers?
The point is to keep the public out. Pin-in-hex button head screws like the TP106SBC are used on device plates, enclosure covers, fixture trims, and panel hardware in schools, transit, detention, and other high-traffic or vandal-prone areas, where a common screwdriver or hex key should not be enough to open the assembly. The low-profile button head also sits close to the surface rather than standing proud.
4) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP106SBC?
100 pieces per box. For a plate-by-plate retrofit figure on two screws per standard device plate, so one box covers roughly 50 openings before you account for breakage and dropped parts.
