Metallics TX103HL17 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TX103HL17 self-drilling screw?
It takes a 5/16 inch hex driver. The head is a hex head with hex drive, so a 5/16 nut setter in an impact driver or drill is all you need, no pilot hole and no Phillips or square bit.
2) Will the TX103HL17 screw drill its own hole through metal, or do I need to pre-drill?
No pre-drilling. The TX103HL17 is a self-drilling metal to metal screw with a Type 17 point, so it cuts its own hole as it goes. Type 17 points are the sharp, slotted-point style that starts fast and clears chips instead of walking across the surface.
3) Is a 3 inch long #10 hex head screw long enough for my application?
The TX103HL17 is a #10 diameter screw with a 3 inch length, which is long on the thread for a #10. That length is for stacking through thicker assemblies or spacers, not thin sheet to sheet. If you are only joining two layers of light-gauge metal, a shorter #10 self-driller is the better choice, since excess thread past the back side is just exposed point.
4) Can the Metallics TX103HL17 screw be used outdoors or in a damp location?
It carries an All-Weather coating, which is what makes it usable on exterior and exposed work rather than interior dry locations only. For continuously wet or coastal service, stainless is still the safer specification.
5) Is the TX103HL17 meant for metal framing or for wood?
Metal to metal. It is sold as a metal to metal self-drilling screw, so the thread and the Type 17 point are set up to cut and hold in steel, such as metal stud, strut, and sheet metal work. For fastening into wood framing you want a wood screw or a self-piercing screw rated for wood substrate instead.
6) What part number do I order for the Metallics 10 x 3 inch hex head self-drilling screw?
The Metallics part number is TX103HL17. That single number covers the #10 diameter, 3 inch length, 5/16 hex head, Type 17 point, All-Weather coated screw, with no finish or drive options to pick.
