Metallics QDS184 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to pre-drill for the Metallics QDS184 #10 x 1-1/2 inch self-tapping screw?
No pre-drilling. The QDS184 has a sharp self-tapping point that cuts its own thread as it drives, which is what makes it quick for conduit straps and box mounting in sheet metal. Start it with light pressure so the point bites and tracks straight, then bring the torque up.
2) What driver do I need for a Quadrive hex head screw like the Metallics QDS184?
A 5/16 inch hex driver or nut setter is the usual choice and gives the best torque transfer. The Quadrive head also takes slotted, Phillips, and square drivers, so when you cannot get a nut setter onto the head in a tight panel or behind conduit you can finish it with a bit instead of changing the fastener.
3) Can I use these #10 x 1-1/2 inch zinc screws outdoors?
The steel body carries a zinc coating for corrosion resistance, which covers indoor work and outdoor or damp exposure where incidental moisture is the concern. For continuous wet, coastal, or chemical exposure, a stainless fastener is the better call than zinc-plated steel.
4) Will a 1-1/2 inch long #10 screw be too long for mounting a junction box to a steel stud?
At 1-1/2 inches of length under the head, the QDS184 is sized for stacking through a box or strap flange plus a structural member, so it will generally protrude well past light-gauge stud material. If you are only going through a strap into thin sheet, a shorter #10 is cleaner; use the 1-1/2 inch where you need the extra reach into framing, blocking, or thicker steel.
5) What is this screw actually meant to fasten into?
Metal substrates. The sharp self-tapping point threads into sheet metal and steel, so the intended work is electrical panels, junction boxes and control enclosures, conduit straps, cable tray and raceway hardware, HVAC and ductwork supports, and brackets on structural steel. It is not a wood screw or a masonry anchor.
6) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics QDS184?
The QDS184 is packed 100 screws to the box, which is the typical quantity an electrician burns through on a panel-and-raceway rough-in. Order in multiples of the box if you are stocking a truck or a maintenance shop.
7) Is there just one size on the Metallics QDS184, or do I pick a diameter and length?
One configuration only: model QDS184 is the #10 x 1-1/2 inch, 5/16 inch hex head, sharp point screw in zinc-plated steel. There is no size or finish to select, so specify QDS184 by model and the pack quantity you need.
8) Are Metallics self-tapping screws made in the USA?
Yes. The QDS184 is manufactured in the USA, which matters on public and institutional jobs that carry domestic-sourcing language in the spec.
