Metallics DS185B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can these screws be used on a federally funded job with Buy American requirements?
The Metallics DS185B is flagged as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, which is what a government, school, or healthcare procurement office needs on the submittal. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your spec requires a single named origin on the certificate, confirm the origin of the lot you receive.
2) Does this Metallics tapping screw have a built-in washer head, and how much bearing surface does it give?
Yes, the head is an indented hex washer style with a washer outside diameter of 0.384 to 0.414 inches and a washer thickness of 0.019 to 0.031 inches. That flange spreads load over slotted strut, box knockouts, and sheet metal flanges so the head does not pull through thin material. Head height runs 0.105 to 0.12 inches.
3) What standards do these indented hex head tapping screws meet?
Head and body dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2010 and the thread follows ASME B18.6.4. Steel is AISI 1016 to 1024 with a case hardness of Rockwell C28-38, and minimum torsional strength is 48 lb-in. If a drawing calls out B18.6.4 Type A sheet metal screws, these match that call-out. Note that #9 diameter dimensions in this family fall outside ASME B18.6.4, but this is a #10.
4) Are these zinc plated screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The DS185B is carbon steel with a zinc plated finish. Zinc plating handles indoor, dry, and lightly damp interior work fine, but it is not a stainless or hot-dip coating, so continuous exterior exposure, wet locations, or coastal and chemical environments will eventually rust it. For those, specify a stainless or hot-dip galvanized tapping screw instead.
5) How many of the Metallics DS185B screws come in a box?
They ship as a box with an order minimum of 3,125 pieces, so this is a bulk production quantity rather than a contractor pack. The box weighs 39.11 lbs. If you need a smaller count or a different length or diameter, other sizes and quantities in this family are available by request.
