Metallics TEK13M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the TEK13M a #10-16 thread, and will it match other #10 self-drillers I already stock?
Yes. It is a #10 diameter by 1 inch long with 16 threads per inch, UNC, made to SAE J78-2013 for the thread form and ASME B18.6.3-2010 for dimensions. Any other #10-16 self-drilling screw built to those same standards will share thread pitch and drive size, so it interchanges on the same hole and the same 5/16 driver.
2) Will these screws snap when I drive them with an impact driver?
Torsional strength is 61 lb-in minimum, with a case hardness of Rockwell C32-40. That is enough for driving in the rated 0.110 to 0.175 inch panel range with a screw gun, but a high-torque impact driver will twist the head off past that figure. Use a depth-sensitive screw gun or clutch setting and let the point do the drilling rather than leaning on it.
3) Does the TEK13M self-drilling screw come with a washer built in, or do I order washers separately?
The washer is integral to the head, so nothing extra to order. Washer outside diameter is 0.384 to 0.414 inches with a thickness of 0.019 to 0.031 inches, which spreads the bearing load over sheet metal and gives a flatter seat than a plain hex head.
4) How many Metallics TEK13M screws come in a box?
They ship in a box of 1,000, which is the order minimum. Shipping weight for the box is 7.5 lbs.
5) Can I use these zinc-plated TEK screws outdoors or in a damp location?
The TEK13M is carbon steel with a zinc plating, silver finish. Zinc plating is a mild indoor and protected-location coating. For rooftop, coastal, or wash-down work, go with a stainless self-drilling screw or a coated exterior fastener instead, because plated carbon steel will rust out at the drill point first.
6) Do Metallics TEK13M screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA-funded project?
Metallics lists the TEK13M as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant. Country of origin is recorded as multiple, so the plant can vary by production run.
7) How long does it take to drive a self-drilling TEK screw through sheet steel?
Metallics puts drill time at 2.5 seconds through a 1 mm plate for the TEK13M. Minimum torque figures are the same whether the screw is steel or stainless, so switching material does not change how hard you can drive it.
8) What steel are these self-drilling screws made from?
AISI 1016 to 1024 carbon steel, case hardened to Rockwell C32-40 so the drill point stays hard enough to cut steel while the shank keeps some ductility. That is the standard low-carbon range for Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screws.
