Metallics TXW123 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the TXW123 screw seal a metal roof or wall panel against water?
Yes. The 12-14 x 3 inch TXW123 ships with a bonded sealing washer, which compresses under the hex head to make a weather-tight seal at the fastener hole. Washer OD runs 0.398 to 0.432 inches and washer thickness 0.022 to 0.039 inches, so it seats inside a standard panel rib flat. It is a Type BSD self-drilling screw, the usual choice for metal panel over steel framing.
2) Can I use the TXW123 on a federally funded or Buy American job?
Yes. The TXW123 is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American, and country of origin is the United States. That is the combination a government, school district, or municipal procurement officer needs on file for domestic-preference work.
3) What driver do I need for the Metallics TXW123 hex head screw?
A 5/16 inch hex nut setter. Head width measures 0.305 to 0.312 inches with 0.34 across the corners, so a 5/16 magnetic driver seats clean. Head height is 0.139 to 0.155 inches, shallow enough that a standard setter still bottoms on the washer rather than the head.
4) How many Metallics TXW123 screws come in a jar, and can I buy fewer?
These ship in a jar with an order minimum of 100 count. One hundred is the smallest quantity sold, so for a small patch job you are still buying the full jar.
5) Are these screws hard enough not to snap the point off in heavy gauge steel?
Case hardness is Rockwell C32-40 with a minimum torsional strength of 92 lb-in, made from AISI 1016-1024 carbon steel. Snapping usually comes from over-driving rather than the screw itself. Run the gun at low RPM with steady pressure and back off the clutch as the washer compresses.
6) Do these screws meet a recognized dimensional standard for submittal?
Head and body dimensions conform to ASME B18.6.3-2010, with threads to SAE J78-2013 and material to AISI 1016-1024. Those three are what a spec reviewer looks for on a fastener submittal for self-drilling tapping screws.
7) Is the coating on the Metallics TXW123 good for outdoor exposure?
The finish is zinc with an all-weather coating, which is why these are specified for exterior panel and roofing work rather than plain zinc-only screws. Paired with the bonded sealing washer, the head and hole are both protected at the exposed face.
8) How much does a jar of 100 TXW123 screws weigh for shipping?
A jar runs 2.81 lbs. The jar itself measures 4.5 in length by 7.25 in height by 4.5 in width, so a case of several drops into a standard box without much wasted volume.
