Metallics QTEKD7V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thickness of steel will a #2 drill point self-drilling screw go through?
The Metallics QTEKD7V carries a #2 drill point, which is the light-gauge point used for sheet metal and thin steel such as framing track, strut, and enclosure sheet. For heavier structural steel you want a higher drill point number, not a #2.
2) Is this screw made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Yes. The Metallics QTEKD7V is made in the USA from domestic steel, zinc plated, which is what institutional and government electrical specs calling for domestic fasteners look for.
3) Do I need to pre-drill a pilot hole for the Metallics QTEKD7V screw?
No pilot hole. The QTEKD7V is a self-drilling and self-tapping screw, so the drill point cuts its own hole and the threads form their own thread as the screw drives, in one pass with a driver.
4) What driver bit fits a Quadrive 5/16 hex head screw?
The QTEKD7V has a 5/16 inch hex washer head with a Quadrive recess, so you can drive it two ways: a 5/16 inch magnetic hex nut setter, or a square/Phillips-compatible bit in the recess. On overhead or awkward work the 5/16 nut setter is usually the faster option because the head holds itself on the driver.
5) Is the #10 x 1 inch Metallics self-drilling screw OK for outdoor or damp locations?
It is zinc plated domestic steel, which handles dry interior and protected service well. Zinc plating is a mild corrosion coating, not a marine or sustained-wet finish, so for exterior exposure or wet locations step up to a stainless or coated exterior screw instead.
6) What size and length is the Metallics QTEKD7V screw?
#10 diameter, 1 inch long, with a 5/16 hex head. At 1 inch of length it suits attaching strap, clip, box, or light bracket to sheet metal where you only need a short grip; thicker stack-ups need a longer screw.
7) Does the hex washer head on this self-drilling screw need a separate washer?
No separate washer is needed for normal sheet metal work. The 5/16 head seats flat and spreads the load itself. It does sit proud of the surface, so where a fixture or plate has to lay flush, use a flat or pan head screw instead of this hex head.
