Metallics JTEK8P – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How thick a steel panel will the Metallics JTEK8P self-drilling screw drill through?
The JTEK8P is rated for panel thicknesses of 0.035 to 0.110 inch. That covers typical light-gauge steel studs, strut, and sheet metal enclosures. If your steel is heavier than 0.110 inch, the #3 drill point won't finish drilling before the threads engage and you'll snap or burn screws, so step up to a longer drill point.
2) Is the Metallics JTEK8P a self-drilling screw or does it need a pilot hole?
No pilot hole needed. It's a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw with a #3 drill point, so it drills its own hole and cuts its own threads in one pass on steel within its 0.035 to 0.110 inch panel range.
3) Do Metallics JTEK8P screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a public project?
No. The JTEK8P is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant; country of origin is listed as multiple. If your job carries a domestic sourcing clause, this part won't satisfy it.
4) What size driver bit do I need for these #10 Phillips pan head drill screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess on the JTEK8P measures 0.192 inch in diameter with a gaging depth of 0.089 to 0.113 inch, so a #2 seats fully; a #1 will cam out and chew the recess.
5) What thread pitch and standard do these #10 self-drilling screws follow?
16 threads per inch, made to SAE J78 - 2013 for the thread form and ASME B18.6.3-2010 for head dimensions. That's the standard #10-16 drill screw thread, so it mates with anything tapped by another #10-16 drill screw.
6) How much torque will these screws take before the head twists off?
Minimum torsional strength is 61 lb-in, with case hardness at Rockwell C32-40. In practice that means driving with a clutch-set screwgun rather than an impact driver; impacts routinely spike past that and will shear #10 drill screws at the shank.
7) Will the pan head on these screws sit flat under a strut clamp or box flange?
Yes, the pan head bears on the surface rather than countersinking. Head width runs 0.357 to 0.373 inch and head height 0.122 to 0.133 inch, so it gives a broad flat bearing face against sheet metal or a fitting flange and needs no countersunk prep. If you need a flush surface, a pan head is the wrong choice.
8) Are Metallics JTEK8P screws okay for outdoor or damp locations?
They're steel with a zinc finish, which is meant for dry indoor electrical work: enclosures, raceway supports, strut, and stud framing. Zinc plating gives light corrosion protection only, so for exterior, wet, or corrosive locations use a stainless or coated exterior-rated drill screw instead.
9) How are these Metallics drill screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 count is the minimum order quantity. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
