Metallics JTSF39 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Type A tapping screw used for, and is the Metallics JTSF39 right for sheet metal or wood?
The Metallics JTSF39 is a #10 x 3 in. Type A tapping screw with a gimlet point. The gimlet (sharp, tapered) point and coarse 12 threads per inch are made for thin sheet metal, sheet metal to wood, and similar soft-material work where the screw forms its own thread in a pilot hole. For thicker steel you want a Type B or self-drilling point instead, since a Type A point is not built to tap heavy gauge.
2) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JTSF39 tapping screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess is 0.198 in. in diameter and 0.124 in. deep, so a #2 seats fully; a #1 will cam out and a #3 won't bottom in the recess.
3) How many Metallics JTSF39 screws come in a jar and can I buy fewer?
They ship in a jar of 100, which is also the order minimum. The packed jar weighs 1.66 lbs.
4) Are the Metallics JTSF39 screws Buy American and ARRA compliant for a government or institutional job?
Both the ARRA and Buy American fields on the JTSF39 are flagged compliant. Country of origin is China, so confirm that your specific contract clause accepts a compliant-flagged import before you submit it on a federally funded spec.
5) Are these zinc tapping screws strong enough to drive without snapping, and can I use them outdoors?
The JTSF39 is case hardened to Rockwell C28-38 from AISI 1016-1024 steel with a 48 lb-in minimum torsional strength, so it takes normal impact-driver and screwgun torque without twisting off. The finish is zinc plating, which handles indoor and protected-exterior use; for direct weather exposure or treated lumber, go to a hot-dip galvanized or stainless fastener.
6) Does the JTSF39 meet the ASME thread spec for #10 tapping screws?
Yes. Threads are to ASME B18.6.4 at 12 threads per inch, and head dimensions follow ASME B18.6.4-1998. One caveat Metallics notes: dimensions for #9 diameter screws in the series fall outside ASME B18.6.4. The JTSF39 is a #10, so it is covered by the standard.
