Metallics QTEKD19V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do the Metallics QTEKD19V screws need a pilot hole drilled first?
No pilot hole. The QTEKD19V is a self-drilling, self-tapping screw with a #2 drill point, so it cuts its own hole and forms its own thread in one pass. The #2 point is the common choice for light to medium gauge steel such as studs, strut, and sheet metal. Run it with a driver, not a hammer drill.
2) How thick a material will a 10 x 1-1/2 inch self-drilling screw go through?
The screw is a #10 diameter at 1-1/2 inches long, which is the overall shank length under the head. Subtract the drill point and you need the combined thickness of what you are fastening plus the steel you are drilling into to stay under that 1-1/2 inches so the threads fully engage and the point clears the back side. For thicker stack-ups, step up to a longer length in the same #10 diameter.
3) Are these Metallics screws made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Yes. The QTEKD19V is listed as Made in the USA and the material is called out as domestic steel with zinc plating, which is what federal, state, and institutional specs with domestic sourcing language are looking for on fasteners.
4) What size driver bit do I need for a Quadrive 5/16 head screw?
The QTEKD19V has a 5/16 inch hex washer head with a Quadrive recess, so you have two ways to drive it: a 5/16 inch hex socket or nut setter on the external head, or a square-recess bit in the Quadrive drive. Most installers run the 5/16 nut setter for speed and keep the square drive as the backup when the head is in a tight spot.
5) Are zinc plated self-drilling screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The QTEKD19V is domestic steel with zinc plating, which is a coating for dry interior service. Zinc gives corrosion resistance indoors but it is not a stainless or coated exterior fastener, so for roof decks, exposed exterior steel, treated lumber contact, or wash-down areas choose a stainless or exterior-coated self-drilling screw instead.
6) What electrical work are #10 self-drilling hex head screws normally used for?
This is the general-purpose fastener on electrical rough-in: hanging strut and channel, securing boxes, straps, and clamps to metal studs, mounting raceway and panel trim to light gauge steel. The hex washer head seats flat and spreads the load on thin material, and the self-drilling point means no pre-drill step on the lift.
7) Is the QTEKD19V sold as a single screw or by the box?
QTEKD19V is the Metallics part number for the 500 piece pack of the 10 x 1-1/2 inch Quadrive self-drilling screw. Order by that part number and specify the quantity of packs you need for the job.
