Metallics RDS6M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver bit do the Metallics RDS6M deck screws take, and is one included?
Square drive, #2 driver size. Three power bits ship with the box, so you can start driving without sourcing a bit separately. The recess measures 0.110 to 0.113 inches wide and 0.064 to 0.075 inches deep, which is why a #2 square bit seats properly and a Phillips will cam out.
2) How many RDS6M deck screws come in a box and can I buy less than a full box?
The RDS6M is sold by the box at a 1000-piece minimum, packaged weight 18.18 lbs. Smaller counts are not part of this item, though Metallics lists other sizes and quantities as available by request.
3) Will a 4 inch deck screw hold in exterior and treated lumber, or do I need stainless?
These are #10 by 4 inch screws with a green ceramic all-weather coating rated to withstand a 500-hour salt-spray test, over an AISI 1080 steel body, with a zinc/all-weather finish. That is built for exterior and damp exposure. For permanent submersion or direct coastal saltwater contact, stainless is still the usual call; for decking, framing fastening, and exterior MRO work, the coated version is what gets specified.
4) Do these Metallics screws qualify for Buy American and ARRA funded jobs?
Metallics lists the RDS6M as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant. Country of origin is recorded as multiple, so if a project requires documented origin for a specific shipment, request it against the lot you are buying.
5) What does the Type 17 point on these Metallics deck screws do?
Type 17 is a sharp point with an auger slot cut at the tip. It cuts its own pilot in wood, clears the chip, and cuts down on splitting when you drive near a board end or edge. Combined with 8 threads per inch coarse UNC threading, the screw pulls into softwood without pre-drilling in most cases.
6) Will the bugle head on the RDS6M sit flush, or does it need a countersink?
Bugle head, so the tapered underside self-countersinks in wood and finishes flush without a separate countersink step. Head width runs 0.334 to 0.363 inches with a head height of 0.020 to 0.039 inches, so it seats low rather than standing proud on a deck board or trim piece.
7) Is the RDS6M a square drive or Phillips deck screw? I standardized my crews on one bit.
RDS6M is the square drive version, #2 size. Metallics builds the same bugle head coarse thread all-weather deck screw in a Phillips head configuration as well, so if your crews are stocked on Phillips bits ask for that variant rather than mixing drives on one job.
