Metallics QTEKD3V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and drive does the Metallics QTEKD3V self-drilling screw use?
The QTEKD3V is a #10 diameter by 3/4 inch long self-drilling and tapping screw with a 1/4 inch hex head that also takes a Quadrive (square) bit. So you can run it with a 1/4 inch hex driver in an impact or drill, or with a square-drive bit if you are working where a hex socket will not reach.
2) How thick a steel can a #2 drill point screw go through?
The QTEKD3V carries a #2 drill point, which is the common light-gauge self-drilling point used for sheet metal and light steel framing such as studs, track, and strap. It drills and taps its own hole with no pilot. For heavier structural steel you want a higher drill point number with a longer flute, not a #2.
3) Are Metallics QTEKD3V screws made in the USA for jobs with domestic material requirements?
Yes. These are made in the USA from domestic steel, which is what matters on federal, institutional, and other spec work carrying a domestic-material clause. The material callout on the part is domestic steel zinc.
4) Can I use these screws for mounting electrical boxes and strut to metal studs?
Yes. A #10 by 3/4 inch self-drilling hex head screw is the standard fastener electricians use to attach boxes, straps, clips and raceway to light-gauge metal studs and track, and Metallics catalogs it as electrical fastener stock. The 3/4 inch length keeps the point from protruding far behind thin-gauge stud flange.
5) Are these zinc screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The QTEKD3V is domestic steel with a zinc plating, which is an indoor and dry-location finish. Zinc plating gives handling and light humidity protection, not weather exposure. For exterior, roof, or wet locations choose a coated or stainless self-driller instead.
6) Do I need to drill a pilot hole for these screws?
No pilot needed. The QTEKD3V is a self-drilling and tapping screw, so the #2 drill point cuts the hole and the threads tap it in one pass. Run it at steady pressure and moderate speed so the point does not burn before it bites.
7) What part number do I order for the #10 x 3/4 hex Quadrive self-driller from Metallics?
Order Metallics part number QTEKD3V. That covers the #10 x 3/4 inch, 1/4 inch hex head Quadrive self-drilling and tapping screw with a #2 drill point in domestic steel zinc. It is a single configuration, so there is no finish or length option to specify.
