Metallics RDS6V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can these deck screws be used outdoors or near the coast?
They are built for exterior work. The RDS6V carries a zinc/all-weather coating with a green ceramic top coat rated to withstand a 500 hour salt-spray test, which is why they get specified for decks, exterior framing and damp mechanical rooms rather than plain zinc screws.
2) Do I need to pre-drill for a 4 inch #10 deck screw?
These have a Type 17 point, the auger-style cut tip that clears its own chip channel in wood, so in dimensional lumber and most decking they drive without a pilot hole. Near board ends or in dense hardwood, pre-drilling still reduces splitting.
3) Do these screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA-funded project?
The RDS6V is flagged as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant in the manufacturer's data. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so on a federally funded job confirm the origin of the specific lot with your documentation package.
4) What size and length are the Metallics RDS6V deck screws?
The RDS6V is a #10 diameter screw, 4 inches long, with coarse UNC threads at 8 threads per inch. The bugle head measures 0.334 to 0.363 inch across and 0.020 to 0.039 inch in head height, so it pulls flush into softwood decking without a separate washer.
5) Is this a square drive or Phillips deck screw?
Square drive. The RDS6V uses a square recess, 0.110 to 0.113 inch wide and 0.064 to 0.075 inch deep, which is what keeps the bit from camming out when you are sinking a 4 inch screw. A free power bit is packed with the screws.
6) How are Metallics RDS deck screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a box of 500 count, and 500 is the order minimum, so this is a bulk-pack item rather than a small retail blister. The box weighs 9.09 lbs.
7) Are these only for decks, or can electrical and HVAC crews use them?
Metallics markets the RDS series to the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, not just deck builders. A 4 inch coated wood screw is what gets used for anchoring strut backing, blocking, condenser platforms and exterior equipment mounts into wood framing.
