Metallics TS285M – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Type A tapping screw used for, and where would I use the Metallics TS285M #10 x 1 in. screw?
Type A is a sharp gimlet point sheet metal tapping screw, meant to drill into and form its own thread in thin sheet metal, with no nut and no pre-tapped hole. The TS285M is a #10 x 1 inch pan head Phillips, zinc plated steel, and it is the screw electricians reach for to fasten boxes, straps, plates and brackets to sheet metal. The sharp point will start in sheet stock; it is not a self-drilling point for heavy steel and it is not a wood or drywall screw.
2) Do the Metallics TS285M screws meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a government or institutional job?
The TS285M is listed as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, which is what a public-works or federally funded spec usually asks for on fasteners. Country of origin is multiple.
3) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics TS285M tapping screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess is a Phillips drive, 0.186 to 0.199 inch in diameter and 0.124 inch deep, so a #2 tip seats fully; a #1 will cam out and a #3 will not bottom in the recess.
4) What dimensional standards do these #10 pan head Phillips tapping screws conform to?
Head and recess dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2013, the thread follows ASME B18.6.4, and the steel is AISI 1016 to 1024. If the drawing calls out a B18.6.3 pan head Phillips tapping screw with a B18.6.4 Type A thread, this matches it. Worth noting the #9 diameter in this family is dimensioned independently of ASME B18.6.4; the #10 is not affected.
5) How are the Metallics TS285M screws packaged, and what is the minimum order?
They ship as a box of 5,000, which is the order minimum. Box weight is 34.14 lbs. That volume suits an electrical contractor or MRO stockroom standardizing on one sheet metal screw; it is not a handful-for-one-job purchase.
6) Is the zinc finish on these tapping screws suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
The TS285M is zinc plated carbon steel, which is a mild indoor corrosion finish. It holds up fine in dry interior electrical work, panel and box fastening, and conditioned spaces. For exterior, wet, or coastal exposure, or where dissimilar-metal contact is a concern, specify a stainless sheet metal screw instead of zinc plated steel.
