Metallics QDS158 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Metallics QDS158 tapping screw?
The QDS158 is a #10 diameter screw, 1 inch long, with a 1/4 inch hex head. That combination is the common sizing for fastening sheet metal, strut, and enclosure work where you want to run the screw with a 1/4 inch hex driver rather than a bit.
2) Can I drive the QDS158 screw with something other than a 1/4 inch hex driver?
Yes. The head is a Quadrive type, so besides the 1/4 inch hex it takes a hex socket, slotted, Phillips, or square drive. Handy when you are up a ladder with only a screwdriver, or when the hex socket slips on a tight angle.
3) Does the QDS158 screw need a pre-drilled pilot hole?
No pilot hole needed in thin material. It is a sharp point tapping screw, so the point starts and the thread taps its own hole as it drives. For thicker or harder stock, pilot drilling is still the safer practice.
4) Are these Metallics hex head screws okay for indoor electrical work in damp areas?
They are steel with a zinc plating, which gives corrosion resistance for interior and protected locations. For direct outdoor exposure, wet locations, or coastal air, step up to a stainless or hot dip galvanized fastener instead.
5) Is the QDS158 a self-drilling screw or a self-tapping screw?
It is a sharp point tapping screw, not a self-drilling (Tek style) screw. There is no drill flute at the tip, so it will start in sheet metal and thinner gauges but it will not cut through heavier steel the way a self-drilling point does. If you are fastening into thick structural steel, specify a self-drilling point.
6) Are Metallics QDS158 screws made in the USA?
Yes, the QDS158 is made in the USA, which matters if you are filling a government or institutional order with domestic sourcing requirements on the purchase order.
7) How many Metallics QDS158 screws come in a pack?
The QDS158 is packaged 100 screws per box.
