Metallics QTEKD7M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Metallics QTEKD7M self-drilling screw need a pre-drilled pilot hole?
No pilot hole needed. The QTEKD7M has a #2 drill point, so it drills its own hole and taps its own thread in one pass. That is what makes it the common choice for fastening into light gauge steel studs, hat channel, and strut where you cannot get a drill and a driver on the same spot twice.
2) What size and length is the Metallics QTEKD7M screw?
It is a #10 diameter screw, 1 inch long, with a 5/16 inch hex head. With 1 inch of length, usable thread is limited once you pass through two layers of sheet metal, so for stacked material or thicker assemblies step up to a longer self-driller.
3) Are Metallics QTEKD7M screws made in the USA?
Yes. The QTEKD7M is domestic steel and made in the USA, which is what lets it clear Buy American and domestic-content requirements on federal, school, and municipal electrical jobs where imported fasteners get rejected on submittal.
4) What driver do I need for a 5/16 Quadrive head screw?
A 5/16 inch hex driver or nutsetter in an impact or screw gun. The QTEKD7M head is Quadrive, meaning the 5/16 hex head also takes a square recess drive, so you have a second option if the hex washer gets chewed or you are working at an angle where a nutsetter will not seat.
5) Are these Metallics screws rated for outdoor or wet locations?
These are zinc plated domestic steel. Zinc plating handles dry interior work and incidental moisture, but it is not a stainless or a coated exterior fastener, so for roof decks, coastal exposure, or anything permanently wet choose a stainless or exterior coated self-driller instead.
