Metallics JTEKD5V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to pre-drill a pilot hole for these hex head tapping screws?
No. It's a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw with a #2 drill point, so it cuts its own hole and forms its own thread in one pass. The listed drill time is 2.5 seconds through a 1 mm thick plate.
2) Is a #10 x 1/2 in. self-drilling screw long enough for my application?
At 1/2 in. overall length with a #10 diameter and 16 threads per inch UNC, the JTEKD5V is a short fastener meant for attaching directly to sheet metal or strut, not for stacking thick material. The drill point consumes part of that length, so plan on thin single-ply or two thin layers within the 0.035 to 0.110 in. panel range. For thicker buildups, step up to a longer length in the same series.
3) What driver or socket do I need for the Metallics JTEKD5V screw?
A 5/16 in. hex driver. The head is an indented hex washer head with a hex drive, measuring 0.305 to 0.312 in. across the flats and 0.34 in. across the corners, so a standard 5/16 magnetic nut setter in an impact or screw gun drives it.
4) Will these zinc plated screws hold up outdoors or in a wet location?
The JTEKD5V is carbon steel with a zinc finish, which is a dry-location and interior-grade coating. It's fine for metal stud framing, interior enclosures and strut runs. For exterior, roof or washdown work, specify a stainless self-drill instead.
5) How many Metallics JTEKD5V screws come in a package?
They ship 500 per jar, with 500 count as the order minimum. Package weight is listed at 2.5 lbs.
6) Do these Metallics self-drilling screws meet Buy American requirements for a government job?
The JTEKD5V is flagged as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in the manufacturer data. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your spec requires a single named origin on the submittal, confirm the origin on the lot you receive.
7) What standards do these #10 self-drilling tapping screws conform to?
Dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2010 and the thread follows SAE J78 - 2013, UNC at 16 threads per inch. Head height is 0.105 to 0.12 in. Those are the two callouts an engineer or inspector usually wants on a fastener submittal.
8) Are these screws hard enough to drill steel without snapping the point?
Case hardness is Rockwell C32-40 with a minimum torsional strength of 61 lb-in, from AISI 1016-1024 steel. That is the spec band for a drill screw that cuts its own hole. The practical caution is gun speed and torque: back off the clutch on an impact so you stop at seating rather than shearing the head.
9) Can I substitute a #8 or #7 drill screw for this #10 if that's what I have on the truck?
Not interchangeably. The JTEKD5V is a #10 diameter with a 5/16 hex head, so a #8 leaves a looser fit in a hole already drilled by a #10 and uses a 1/4 in. driver instead. Worth knowing on the #7 size: SAE J78 does not include specifications for #7 diameter drill screws, so there is no equivalent standard thread callout at that size.
