Metallics QTEKD3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thickness of steel will a #2 drill point self-drilling screw go through?
The Metallics QTEKD3 uses a #2 drill point, which is the light-gauge point used for drilling and tapping its own hole in thin sheet steel such as studs, track, strut clips and sheet metal boxes. It is not a heavy-gauge point, so for thick structural steel you want a higher-numbered drill point instead.
2) Do I need to pre-drill a pilot hole for the Metallics QTEKD3 screw?
No. It is a self-drilling and self-tapping screw, so the drill point cuts the hole and the threads form their own mating thread in one pass on light-gauge steel. Run it with a 1/4 inch hex driver or nut setter in a screw gun.
3) Are these TEK screws made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Yes. The QTEKD3 is made in the USA from domestic steel with zinc plating, which is what procurement usually needs to see on federally funded or domestic-preference electrical work.
4) What driver do I need for a 1/4 hex head Quadrive screw?
A 1/4 inch hex nut setter drives it, and the Quadrive head also takes a square drive bit if you would rather use a bit tip. The hex head type is the primary drive, and the dual recess lets you switch without swapping to a different screw.
5) Is the QTEKD3 screw long enough for attaching strut or a box to a metal stud?
It is a #10 diameter screw with a 3/4 inch length, so it suits attaching thin brackets, clips, straps and device boxes to light-gauge steel. Add up your material thickness and leave enough point to fully tap through the steel; for thicker stacked material you need a longer screw.
6) Are Metallics QTEKD3 screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
They are domestic steel with a zinc plating, which is a general indoor and dry-location corrosion finish. For wet, coastal or chemically exposed work, a stainless or hot-dip coated fastener is the better call.
7) What is the Metallics part number for the 10 x 3/4 hex head self-drilling screw?
QTEKD3 is the Metallics part number for the #10 x 3/4 inch, 1/4 inch hex head Quadrive self-drilling and tapping screw with a #2 drill point in zinc-plated domestic steel.
