Metallics GDS6M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many Metallics GDS6M deck screws come in a box, and can I buy fewer than that?
The GDS6M ships as a box of 1,000 screws, and 1,000 is the order minimum. If you need a different count or a different size in the GDS series, Metallics lists other sizes and quantities as available by request.
2) Will a #10 x 3-1/2 inch deck screw hold a 2x4 to a 2x framing member?
Yes. At 3-1/2 inches of length, the GDS6M passes through a nominal 2x member (1-1/2 inches actual) and leaves about 2 inches of coarse thread biting into the second member, which is normal practice for face-fastening 2x lumber. The coarse thread spacing is what you want in softwood framing and decking rather than a fine machine thread.
3) Are yellow zinc deck screws good enough for outdoor use, or do I need stainless?
The GDS6M is steel with a yellow zinc dichromate finish, which Metallics rates for all-weather wood applications. That coating handles exposed framing and deck work. It is a coated carbon steel screw, not stainless, so for direct saltwater exposure or sustained submersion a stainless fastener is the better call.
4) Do I need a separate driver bit for these Phillips deck screws?
No, a #1 drive power bit is included with the box. The screws take a Phillips drive in a flat head, so the head countersinks flush into wood without a separate finish washer.
5) Can electrical and HVAC crews use the Metallics GDS screws for mounting work, not just decking?
Yes. Metallics lists the field application as all-weather wood plus the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. Crews use them to anchor backer boards, strut backing, condenser sleepers and panel mounting blocks to wood framing. It is a wood screw, so it needs a wood or composite substrate, not steel stud or concrete.
6) Do Metallics GDS6M deck screws meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a government job?
Metallics flags the GDS6M as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, which is what a public-works or federally funded project submittal asks for. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your spec requires a single named origin on the cert, request that documentation with the order.
7) How heavy is a box of 1000 GDS6M deck screws?
A full box runs 18.18 lbs, with carton dimensions of 9 x 9 x 6.13 inches. Worth knowing if you are staging several boxes on a lift or sizing a van load for a deck framing run.
