Metallics DS182B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Type A tapping screw used for, and will the Metallics DS182B self-tap into sheet metal?
Type A is the coarse-thread, gimlet (sharp) point sheet metal screw. The DS182B has a gimlet point and 12 threads per inch, so it pierces and forms its own thread in thin sheet metal, electrical boxes, duct and similar light-gauge material without a tapped hole. It is not a self-drilling screw, so a pilot hole is still the normal practice in heavier gauge.
2) What is the smallest quantity of Metallics DS182B screws I can buy?
They ship in a box of 4,000 pieces, which is the order minimum. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request.
3) Is this screw Buy American and ARRA compliant for a government or institutional job?
The DS182B is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if a project needs a single documented origin, request that confirmation against the specific lot.
4) Does the DS182B have a built-in washer face, and how much bearing surface does it give?
Yes, the indented hex head carries an integral washer with a 0.384 to 0.414 inch outside diameter and 0.019 to 0.031 inch thickness. That spread is what lets it seat on a slotted or oversized hole in sheet metal without a separate washer.
5) What standards do these #10 x 1 in. tapping screws meet?
Head and body dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2010, and the thread follows ASME B18.6.4. Steel is AISI 1016 to 1024, heat treated to Rockwell C28-38 with a minimum torsional strength of 48 lb-in. Note that dimensions for the #9 diameter in this family are independent of ASME B18.6.4.
6) Will zinc plated steel screws hold up outdoors or in a damp location?
Zinc plated carbon steel is a dry, indoor-duty finish. It handles interior electrical rooms, panel work and duct fine, but sustained wet, washdown or exterior exposure will rust it. For those openings specify stainless or hot dip galvanized instead.
7) How much does a full box of DS182B screws weigh?
A box runs 29.25 lbs and measures 9 x 6.13 x 9 inches, which matters if you are hand carrying stock up to a mechanical room or allowing for shelf load in a stockroom.
