Metallics JTEKD6M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What metal thickness can the Metallics JTEKD6M self-drilling screw drill through?
The JTEKD6M is rated for panel thickness of 0.035 to 0.110 inch. That covers typical light-gauge steel studs, strut, and sheet metal enclosures. Go thicker than 0.110 inch and the #2 drill point will not reliably cut through, so step up to a heavier drill point screw for structural steel.
2) Do I need to pre-drill a pilot hole for these #10 hex head screws?
No pilot hole needed. The JTEKD6M is a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw with a #2 drill point, so it cuts its own hole and forms its own thread in one pass. The listed drill time is 2.5 seconds through a 1 mm thick plate.
3) Do these Metallics screws meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a federal or public job?
The JTEKD6M is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American, which is what a government, school, or healthcare procurement file usually needs on fasteners. Country of origin is listed as multiple.
4) Is the washer built into these screws or separate?
It is integral to the head, not a loose part. The bonded washer runs 0.384 to 0.414 inch outside diameter and 0.019 to 0.031 inch thick, which spreads load over the hole in thin sheet and keeps the head from pulling through light gauge panel. Nothing to assemble or lose on the job.
5) Are these #10 self-drilling screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
These are steel with a zinc finish, which is a corrosion-resistant plating suited to dry interior and protected locations. For sustained exterior exposure, wet conditions, or coastal work, specify a stainless self-drilling screw instead. The base steel is AISI 1016 to 1024 with a case hardness of Rockwell C32-40.
6) How many Metallics JTEKD6M screws come in a pack, and how are they packaged?
They ship in a jar with an order minimum of 1,000 pieces. Plan quantities in thousands rather than by the handful.
7) What thread does a #10 JTEKD6M screw have, and will a standard #10-16 nut thread onto it?
The thread is 16 threads per inch in UNC form, so it is a #10-16 self-tapping thread rather than a machine-screw #10-24 or #10-32. A standard #10-24 or #10-32 nut will not match it. These are meant to tap their own thread in sheet metal, not to be run into a nut.
8) What standards do these self-drilling tapping screws conform to?
Dimensionally the JTEKD6M follows ASME B18.6.3-2010, and the thread conforms to SAE J78-2013. Worth noting for spec writers: SAE J78 does not cover #7 diameter drill screws, so if a drawing calls out a #7, it is outside that standard.
9) How much torque can I put on a #10 self-drilling screw before it snaps?
Minimum torsional strength is 61 lb-in. Set your impact or screw gun clutch below that; driving hard past seating is what shears the head off a drill screw in thin gauge. The same minimum torque figures apply to stainless and steel self-drill screws.
