Metallics GDS6V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many Metallics GDS6V deck screws come in a box?
The GDS6V ships as a 500-piece box, and 500 each is also the order minimum, so it is bought by the full box rather than by the piece. A #1 drive power bit is packed with the screws.
2) Will a #10 x 3-1/2 in. deck screw hold in outdoor framing, or do I need stainless?
The GDS6V is steel with a yellow zinc dichromate finish, which Metallics lists for all-weather wood applications. That is a coated carbon steel screw, not stainless, so it suits general exterior wood framing and deck work rather than coastal or chemically treated exposure where stainless is specified.
3) Is the Metallics GDS6V Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No on both counts. The GDS6V is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your project carries domestic sourcing requirements, this screw will not satisfy them.
4) Do I need to buy a driver bit separately for these Metallics deck screws?
No. A #1 drive power bit is packed in the box with the GDS6V screws. The heads are Phillips drive with a flat head, so the bit in the box matches the recess.
5) Are these coarse thread or fine thread screws, and what does that mean for the wood I am fastening?
Coarse thread, UNC. Coarse threads bite faster and hold better in softwood framing, plywood, and pressure treated lumber, which is the wood a deck screw normally goes into. Fine thread is the choice for hardwood or metal, not this screw.
6) Can an electrical contractor use these deck screws for mounting straps and boxes to wood?
Yes. Metallics lists the GDS field application as electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work in addition to all weather wood use, so it is a general trade wood screw as much as a deck screw. The #10 x 3-1/2 in. length is long enough to reach through furring or blocking into studs.
7) Can I get the Metallics GDS deck screw in a different length or a smaller box?
The GDS6V itself is fixed at #10 x 3-1/2 in. in a 500 count box, but Metallics offers other sizes and quantities in the GDS series by request. Ask with the diameter, length, and count you need.
8) Does the flat head on the GDS6V countersink flush with the decking?
It is a flat head, which is the countersinking profile, so it seats flush or slightly below the surface when driven into softwood. In hardwood or near a board end, pre-drill and countersink to avoid splitting.
9) How heavy is a box of 500 Metallics GDS6V screws and what size carton is it?
A box runs 9.09 lbs, with carton dimensions of 7.25 x 6.25 x 6 inches. Useful if you are staging several boxes on a cart or working out freight on a bulk order.
