Metallics QTEKD18M – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What thickness of steel will a #2 drill point self-drilling screw go through?
The Metallics QTEKD18M is a #2 drill point screw, which is the point sized for light to medium gauge steel, roughly 20 gauge up to about 1/8 inch material. It drills its own hole and taps its own thread in one pass, so no pilot hole is needed. For heavier structural steel you need a larger point number.
2) Is a zinc plated self-drilling screw okay for outdoor or damp locations?
The QTEKD18M is domestic steel with zinc plating, which is an indoor and dry-location finish. Zinc gives light corrosion protection for interior strut, raceway, and sheet metal work, but for exterior exposure, roof decks, or wet areas you want a stainless or coated exterior-rated fastener instead.
3) What driver bit fits the Quadrive head on the Metallics QTEKD18M screw?
It takes a square drive bit. Quadrive is a square recess, so a #2 square bit is the normal match for a #10 diameter screw. The head itself is a 5/16 hex washer style head, which also lets you run it with a 5/16 inch magnetic hex driver if you prefer a nut setter over a bit.
4) Are Metallics QTEKD18M screws made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Yes. These are domestic steel, zinc plated, and made in the USA, which is what procurement officers on government, school, and healthcare work need to see for domestic-content requirements on fasteners.
5) Do I need a pilot hole for the Metallics QTEKD18M, or does it drill its own?
No pilot hole. The drill point on the QTEKD18M cuts the hole and the thread form taps it as the screw advances, so it is one operation with a screwgun. Run it at a moderate speed with steady pressure; too fast and the point work-hardens the steel and burns up before it bites.
6) What is the exact part number to order these #10 x 1-1/4 self-drilling screws?
Order Metallics part number QTEKD18M. That number covers the #10 x 1-1/4 inch, 5/16 head Quadrive self-drilling and tapping screw with a #2 drill point in domestic zinc plated steel.
