Metallics TP604SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Metallics TP604SBC screw need a special driver bit?
Yes. It is a pin-in-star (pin-in-Torx) tamper resistant head, so a standard Torx bit will not seat on it. The center pin in the recess requires a matching pin-in-star bit with a hollow tip. Plan on having those bits on the truck before you install, because nothing in a normal driver set will turn them.
2) Is the TP604SBC stainless steel, and will it hold up outdoors?
The TP604SBC is 18-8 stainless, the austenitic 300-series grade commonly used for general outdoor and damp-location fastening. That makes it a reasonable pick for exterior cover plates, screens, and enclosure hardware where a plain or zinc screw would rust. It is not the grade to choose for direct saltwater immersion.
3) Will a button head screw sit flush, or does it stand above the surface?
Button head stands proud. It has a low, domed crown that bears on the surface of the material rather than pulling down into a countersunk hole, so expect a small raised dome above the plate. If you need the head below or level with the surface, a flat or oval head in a countersunk hole is the right choice instead.
4) Are these the right screws for securing electrical panel covers against tampering in a public area?
That is the intended use. The combination of a pin-in-star recess and 18-8 stainless is aimed at electrical work where a cover, enclosure, or device plate has to stay put in a space the public can reach. The #8 x 1/2 inch sheet metal thread suits the thin sheet steel of enclosures and covers. Confirm the existing holes take a #8 before you swap, since stepping up or down in diameter means redrilling.
5) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP604SBC?
One hundred pieces per pack. That is a working quantity for a tamper resistant screw, which you typically use a handful at a time on a single enclosure, panel cover, or fixture, so a box covers a lot of openings.
