Metallics TP607SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics TP607SFC tamper-resistant screw?
You need a pin-in star (tamper-resistant Torx) bit, not a standard star bit. The TP607SFC is a star pin security screw, meaning the recess has a post in the center that blocks a solid Torx driver. A regular T-handle or insert bit will not seat. Order the matching pin-in-star bits with the screws if your crew doesn't already carry them.
2) Will a #8 x 1-1/2 sheet metal screw work for securing electrical covers and plates against tampering?
That's exactly the use case. The TP607SFC pairs a security star pin head with a sheet metal thread, so it holds in sheet steel enclosures, box covers and guard plates while resisting removal with ordinary drivers. Because it's sheet metal thread rather than machine thread, it will not run into a tapped 6-32 or 8-32 hole in a device box or wall plate; for those you need a machine screw.
3) Is the Metallics TP607SFC a stainless steel screw, and can it be used outdoors?
It's 18-8 stainless, the common austenitic grade used for general corrosion resistance. That makes it suitable for damp and exterior-adjacent work such as outdoor enclosures, covers and light-duty coastal-inland applications. 18-8 is not hardened like a case-hardened carbon screw, so don't treat it as a structural fastener.
4) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP607SFC?
100 pieces per box. For an MRO or facility buyer standardizing tamper-resistant covers across a building, that's enough for roughly 25 four-screw plates or 50 two-screw devices per box.
5) What is the Metallics part number for the 8 x 1-1/2 flat head star pin stainless security screw?
Metallics TP607SFC. Order by that number for the #8 x 1-1/2 inch flat head, star pin tamper-resistant, 18-8 stainless sheet metal screw supplied 100 to a box.
