Metallics TP225SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for a star pin tamper resistant screw like the TP225SFC?
It takes a pin-in-star (pin-in-Torx) bit, not a standard Torx. The TP225SFC has a post in the center of the six-lobe recess, so a plain Torx driver will not seat. You need the matching pin-in-star bit in the size for a #8 screw, and that is a separate purchase from the screws.
2) Are these stainless steel screws suitable for damp or outdoor electrical covers?
They are 18-8 stainless, the common 300-series austenitic grade, which resists rust far better than plated carbon steel and holds up in damp indoor locations and general outdoor exposure. For coastal or chlorinated environments, 316 stainless is the step up.
3) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP225SFC?
One hundred pieces per pack, all 8-32 x 3/8 flat head star pin stainless machine screws. That quantity suits a property manager or electrician standardizing tamper resistant cover plates across a building or securing devices in a school, transit, or correctional setting where loose screws invite tampering.
4) Will a flat head 8-32 screw sit flush on my plate, or will it stand proud?
The TP225SFC has a flat head, which is designed to sit flush in a countersunk or chamfered hole. If your plate or enclosure has a flat, un-countersunk hole, the head will stand above the surface. Oval or pan head is the usual choice there.
5) What is the manufacturer part number for these Metallics tamper resistant machine screws?
Metallics part number TP225SFC. That number covers the 8-32 x 3/8 flat head star pin tamper resistant 18-8 stainless machine screw in the 100 piece pack, which is what a distributor should quote against.
