Metallics JTEKD17 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will these self-drilling screws snap when I run them in with an impact driver?
Torsional strength is 61 lb-in minimum, with a case hardness of Rockwell C32-40 on AISI 1016-1024 steel. That is enough to drill and tap sheet steel under a screw gun, but a high-torque impact driver will twist the head off a #10 once the screw bottoms out. Use a clutched screw gun or depth-sensitive driver and back off as the washer seats. Expect roughly 2.5 seconds of drill time in a 1 mm plate.
2) Do I need to pre-drill a pilot hole for these #10 screws in metal studs?
No pilot hole. It is a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw, so the #2 drill point cuts its own hole and the 16 threads per inch tap it in one pass, as long as the material falls in the 0.035 to 0.110 inch panel range. Pre-drilling actually hurts holding power here because the thread needs fresh material to form against.
3) Does the washer on this self-drilling screw seal, or is it just a bearing surface?
It is an integral steel washer face, not a sealing washer. Outside diameter runs 0.384 to 0.414 inch with a thickness of 0.019 to 0.031 inch, which spreads clamp load over sheet metal and strap so the head does not pull through thin panel. If you need a weather seal on a roof or exterior panel, you want a screw with a bonded EPDM washer instead.
4) Is a zinc plated self-drilling screw okay for outdoor or damp locations?
The JTEKD17 is zinc plated carbon steel, so it suits dry interior work: electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning installs, strut and strap to metal studs, panel and enclosure mounting. Zinc plating is a mild corrosion coating, not a marine or wet-location finish. For exterior, coastal, or wash-down areas, specify a stainless self-drilling screw.
5) How many Metallics JTEKD17 screws come in a jar, and can I buy fewer?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum, so that jar is the smallest buying unit. The packed jar weighs 0.57 lbs.
6) What standards do the Metallics JTEKD screws conform to for a submittal?
Head and body dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2010, the thread and point follow SAE J78-2013, and the steel is AISI 1016-1024. Country of origin is listed as multiple, and the screws are not Buy American or ARRA compliant, which matters if you are buying for a federally funded job.
7) Is a 5/8 inch long screw enough to hang strut or a box on a metal stud?
At 5/8 inch overall length with a #2 point, the JTEKD17 is sized for fastening through thin assemblies: strap, clip, box ear, or bracket into sheet steel up to 0.110 inch. The drill point and thread lead eat into that 5/8 inch, so stacked thicknesses or a thick bracket leave little thread engaged. For heavier stack-ups move to a longer screw in the same series.
