Metallics JDS185V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Metallics JDS185V tapping screw sold individually or by the jar?
The JDS185V ships as a 500-count jar, and 500 CT is the order minimum. So you are buying a full jar of the #10 x 2 inch indented hex head screws, not loose pieces.
2) Will a #10 x 2 in. sharp point tapping screw bite into sheet metal without a pilot hole?
The JDS185V is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet (sharp) point and 12 threads per inch, so it is made to pierce and form its own thread in thin sheet metal, sheet metal boxes and light gauge studs. Thicker or harder stock still wants a pilot hole sized for the thread; the point does the work in light sheet, not in structural steel.
3) Do these Metallics tapping screws meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public project?
The JDS185V is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA, with country of origin listed as multiple. That is the compliance record for the part, which is what spec writers on federal and state funded work ask for.
4) Does the Metallics JDS185V screw have an integral washer head?
Yes, the hex head carries an integral washer flange with a 0.384 to 0.414 in. outside diameter and 0.019 to 0.031 in. thickness. Head height is 0.105 to 0.12 in. That flange spreads bearing over the hole, which is why these get used on sheet metal and thin panels where a plain hex head would pull through.
5) Will zinc plated steel tapping screws hold up outdoors or in a damp location?
The JDS185V is carbon steel with a zinc plated finish, which is a dry indoor or protected finish. It handles normal interior humidity fine, but for direct weather exposure, wet locations or corrosive atmospheres you want stainless rather than zinc plated steel.
6) What standards do the Metallics JDS185V screws conform to?
Dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2010 and the thread conforms to ASME B18.6.4. Material is AISI 1016 to 1024 carbon steel, case hardened to Rockwell C28-38, with a minimum torsional strength of 48 lb-in. Note that dimensions for #9 diameter screws in this family sit outside ASME B18.6.4.
7) Is a 2 inch length too long for fastening to a sheet metal box or channel?
At 2 inches of overall length the JDS185V is a long screw for a #10 Type A, so it is meant for going through a mounting bracket, strap or standoff and into the substrate behind, not for pinning two sheets face to face. If you only need to join thin material, a shorter #10 leaves less protruding point behind the work.
8) How much torque can a #10 tapping screw take before it snaps off in the hole?
Minimum torsional strength on the JDS185V is 48 lb-in, with the shank hardened to Rockwell C28-38. That is plenty for hand or clutch driving into sheet metal, but it is a limit worth respecting: run an impact driver flat out into thick stock and you will twist heads off rather than seat them. Set the clutch and let the gimlet point cut.
9) Can I get the same Metallics indented hex head slotted tapping screw in a different diameter or length?
Yes. The JDS series indented hex head slotted sharp point screws are made in other diameters, lengths and pack quantities beyond the #10 x 2 inch JDS185V, available by request. Give the diameter, length and count you need and the matching JDS number can be pulled.
10) How much does a 500 count jar of Metallics JDS185V screws weigh?
The 500-count jar comes in at 6.25 lbs, in a container measuring 7.25 in. high by 4.5 by 4.5 in. Useful if you are staging kits on a cart or figuring out how many jars fit a van shelf.
