Metallics QTEKD6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are Metallics QTEKD6 screws made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Yes. The QTEKD6 is made in the USA from domestic steel, zinc plated, which is what institutional and government specs calling for domestic fasteners are looking for.
2) What size driver or socket do I need for the Metallics QTEKD6 screw?
The QTEKD6 has a 5/16 inch hex washer head with a Quadrive drive, so a 5/16 inch magnetic hex driver bit or nut setter runs it. The Quadrive feature also lets you drive it with a square (Robertson) bit if you cannot get a socket into a tight spot.
3) What thickness of material will a 3/4 inch #10 self-drilling screw hold?
At 3/4 inch overall length, the QTEKD6 is a #10 diameter screw meant for thin assemblies, metal-to-metal connections, strap and clip attachment, or fastening light sheet material to steel framing. Allow for the drill point and a few threads of engagement past the back of the steel, so the usable grip is well under the 3/4 inch length. Thicker stack-ups need a longer screw.
4) Are Metallics QTEKD6 screws okay for outdoor or damp locations?
These are zinc plated domestic steel. Zinc plating handles indoor and protected conditions well, but it is not a stainless or exterior-grade coating, so for direct weather exposure, coastal air, or wet locations you should move to a stainless or coated exterior fastener.
5) Can I use these screws for hanging electrical boxes and strut on metal framing?
That is the intended use. Metallics stocks the QTEKD6 as an electrical trade fastener, and a #10 self-drilling screw with a hex washer head is the standard choice for anchoring boxes, straps, clips, and conduit supports to steel studs or sheet metal. Confirm the steel gauge is within range of a #2 point before you commit to a long run.
6) What is the difference between a self-drilling screw like this and a self-tapping sheet metal screw?
The QTEKD6 carries a drill point, so it drills the pilot hole and forms the thread in a single operation. A plain self-tapping sheet metal screw has a sharp or blunt point and needs a pilot hole drilled first. If you are fastening into steel studs or sheet metal with no pre-drilling, the drill point version is what you want.
7) What is the part number for the Metallics 10 x 3/4 hex head self-drilling screw with a #2 point?
Order Metallics part number QTEKD6. That is the #10 diameter, 3/4 inch long self-drilling and tapping screw with a 5/16 inch Quadrive head and a #2 drill point in zinc plated domestic steel.
