Metallics DS80M – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can these screws be used on a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
Metallics lists the DS80M as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, which is what a public agency, school district, or federally funded contractor needs on the submittal. Country of origin is listed as multiple.
2) What standards do these indented hex head tapping screws meet?
Dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2010 and the threads follow ASME B18.6.4. Steel is AISI 1016 to 1024, case hardened to Rockwell C28-38, with a minimum torsional strength of 48 lb-in. If a spec sheet calls for a B18.6.4 Type A tapping screw, the DS80M answers it. Note that for #9 diameter screws in the same family the dimensions are independent of B18.6.4.
3) What driver do I need for the Metallics DS80M hex head tapping screws?
The DS80M has a dual drive: a 5/16 indented hex head with a slot across it. Head width measures 0.305 to 0.312 inch, so a 5/16 hex driver or nut setter seats it, and the slot (0.05 to 0.06 inch wide, 0.057 to 0.072 inch deep) lets you finish or back one out with a flat blade when you can't get a socket on it. Width across corners is 0.34 inch, which matters if you're driving in a tight channel.
4) What thread count and length are the Metallics DS80M screws?
#10 diameter, 2-1/2 inch length, 12 threads per inch. That thread pitch is coarse, which is what you want for sheet metal and wood holding; the 2-1/2 inch length gives real penetration for mounting straps, boxes, and brackets through furring or drywall into a stud.
5) How are the Metallics DS80M screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in boxes of 1,000, and 1,000 is the order minimum. Box weight is listed at 14.74 lbs. If you need a different size or a smaller count, other sizes and quantities are available by request.
6) Does the indented hex head on these screws sit flush, or does it need a washer?
The DS80M head is an indented hex with an integral washer face: washer OD runs 0.384 to 0.414 inch and washer thickness 0.019 to 0.031 inch, with overall head height of 0.105 to 0.12 inch. That built-in bearing surface spreads load over the hole, so you generally don't need to add a separate washer when fastening strap, clips, or thin plate.
7) Will the DS80M screws rust if I use them in a damp mechanical room?
These are steel with a zinc finish, which handles indoor damp, mechanical rooms, and concealed interior work. Zinc plating is not a marine or sustained-outdoor coating, so for direct weather exposure or coastal sites step up to a stainless or hot-dip galvanized fastener.
