Metallics TP106SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the hex pin tamper-resistant screw head on the Metallics TP106SFC?
It uses a hex pin (pin-in-hex) tamper-resistant recess, so a standard hex key or Allen bit will not seat. You need a pin-in-hex security bit of the matching size, which has a hollow center to clear the pin in the middle of the recess. Plan on having those bits on the truck before you get to the job.
2) Will a flat head 8-32 security screw sit flush, or will it stand proud of the plate?
Flat head means a countersunk 82 degree head, so it sits flush in a countersunk or dimpled hole. On a flat, non-countersunk plate the head will stand proud. If you need the head above the surface by design, a pan or button head is the better call.
3) Can I use these 8-32 tamper-resistant machine screws in a sheet metal or wood hole?
No. The TP106SFC is a machine screw with a uniform 8-32 machine thread, which needs a tapped hole, a nut, or a threaded insert. It will not cut its own thread in sheet metal or hold in wood. For those substrates use a sheet metal or wood screw instead.
4) Are these the right security screws for electrical device plates and enclosure covers?
Yes, that is the use case. 8-32 is the standard thread for electrical device and plate screws, and the hex pin head makes the fastener resist removal with common hand tools in public corridors, schools, transit areas, and multi-family common spaces. The 3/4 inch length suits a plate or cover over a device or box with some depth to the tapped boss.
5) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP106SFC?
They ship 100 pieces to the box. For an MRO or electrical crew standardizing tamper-resistant fasteners across a building, that is one part number covering a run of covers or plates rather than counting out loose hardware.
