Metallics TP328SPC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics TP328SPC screws?
They are 8-32 x 5/8 inch machine screws, so a machine thread (32 threads per inch on a #8 diameter) rather than a self-tapping sheet metal thread. They go into an already tapped #8-32 hole or a nut, which is the standard thread on device plates, box mounting ears and most electrical enclosure hardware.
2) What driver do I need for a spanner tamper-resistant screw head?
The TP328SPC uses a spanner (snake eye) drive, which has two round holes in the face of the pan head. A standard flat or Phillips bit will not turn it; you need a spanner bit or spanner screwdriver in the matching size. That is the whole point of the head style, it keeps the public out of plates and covers you do not want opened.
3) Are these tamper-proof screws sold individually or by the box?
Metallics TP328SPC comes 100 pieces to the pack, which is the sensible quantity if you are securing plates across a building or a floor rather than doing a one-off replacement.
4) Can I use the Metallics TP328SPC to fasten into sheet metal or drywall directly?
No. It is a machine screw, not a self-drilling or sheet metal screw, and it has no point. It needs a tapped hole, a nut, or a threaded insert. For fastening straight into unthreaded sheet metal or into drywall you need a different fastener type entirely.
5) What is the part number to order these spanner head 8-32 screws?
Order Metallics part number TP328SPC. That one number covers the 8-32 x 5/8 pan head spanner machine screw in the 100 piece pack, there are no finish or size options to specify.
6) Are these tamper-resistant screws made in the USA?
Yes, the TP328SPC spanner head machine screws are USA made, which matters if your job carries a domestic sourcing requirement on fasteners.
