Metallics JDS185SS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a #10 x 2 in. Type A sharp point tapping screw work in sheet metal without pre-drilling?
Type A tapping screws with a gimlet (sharp) point are made to form their own thread in thin sheet metal, so light-gauge steel typically takes them with a pilot hole sized to the screw's root rather than a full tapped hole. At 12 threads per inch and 2 inches long, the JDS185SS is a coarse-thread screw meant for sheet metal and light framing, not for hardwood joinery or masonry.
2) Can I use these stainless tapping screws to fasten into aluminum or galvanized steel?
Mechanically yes, but watch the metallurgy. 18-8 stainless driven into aluminum or steel can set up a galvanic couple and corrode the base metal in wet or coastal environments. On exterior aluminum (storefront, enclosures, flashing) use an isolating washer or sealant, or switch to a fastener matched to the base metal. Indoors and dry, the couple is generally not an issue.
3) Are these screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government or public works job?
No. The JDS185SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this stainless tapping screw will not satisfy it and you need a domestically produced fastener instead.
4) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JDS185SS, and is there an order minimum?
They ship in a jar of 100 pieces, and 100 is the order minimum, so one jar is the smallest buy. Jar weight is 1.3 lbs. Metallics does offer other diameters and lengths in this indented hex head slotted line by request.
5) What standards do these Metallics indented hex head tapping screws meet?
The head dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2010 and the threads follow ASME B18.6.4, which is the tapping screw standard. Hardness is Rockwell C28-38. One caveat from Metallics: dimensions for the #9 diameter in this line are independent of ASME B18.6.4, though that does not apply to this #10.
6) How much head height do these screws add, and will they fit in a tight clearance?
Head height runs 0.105 to 0.12 inch, so the head sits roughly an eighth of an inch above the surface plus the washer face. Across the flats it is 0.305 to 0.312 inch and 0.34 inch across the corners, which is what matters if you are driving inside a channel, strut, or box where a socket needs room to swing.
7) What trades actually use a #10 x 2 in. 18-8 stainless slotted hex head tapping screw?
Metallics lists this screw for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. Typical use is mounting boxes, straps, hangers, and sheet metal duct or enclosure work where the 2 inch length lets you reach through insulation or furring into the substrate, and where stainless is wanted for corrosion resistance over plated steel.
