Metallics JDS80SS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use these stainless screws to fasten into aluminum or steel?
You can, but watch the metal pairing. Driving an 18-8 stainless screw into aluminum or plain steel can set up a galvanic couple in some environments, which corrodes the softer base metal around the fastener. Outdoors, in wash-down areas, or anywhere salt is present, isolate the joint or use a fastener that matches the base metal. In dry interior work the 18-8 stainless is the point of the screw, since it will not rust where a plated screw would.
2) What dimensional standard do the Metallics JDS indented hex head tapping screws meet?
Head geometry is built to ASME B18.6.3-2010 and the thread follows ASME B18.6.4. That matters if your drawing or submittal calls out a standard tapping screw rather than a proprietary fastener. One caveat worth knowing for the series: dimensions on the #9 diameter screws are independent of ASME B18.6.4. The JDS80SS is a #10 diameter, so it is not affected.
3) Will these screws work on a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
Metallics lists the JDS80SS as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, with country of origin China. If your contract runs on Buy American Act rules rather than Build America Buy America, that compliance flag is the one your submittal package needs. Pull the compliance letter into the submittal if the spec requires documentation.
4) Does the washer face on the indented hex head seal against sheet metal?
There is an integral washer face, not a gasket. Outside diameter runs 0.384 to 0.414 inch with a thickness of 0.019 to 0.031 inch, and overall head height is 0.105 to 0.12 inch. The washer face spreads load so the head does not pull through thin gauge sheet, but it is unsealed. For a weathertight penetration you need a bonded sealing washer under the head or a separate EPDM washer.
5) Are 18-8 stainless tapping screws hard enough to thread into steel?
Hardness on the JDS80SS is Rockwell C28-38, which is the usable range for a Type A screw forming its own thread in sheet steel. Stainless case hardens less than a carbon steel self-tapper, so for heavier gauge or structural steel a pilot hole is the right move rather than leaning on the point. In thin sheet, HVAC duct, strut accessories, and enclosure work the sharp point takes it directly.
6) How are the Metallics JDS80SS screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar, 100 count, and 100 is the minimum order quantity. Shipping weight on the jar is 1.53 lbs. If you need a different size or a different count in the same indented hex head slotted style, Metallics builds those to request.
