Metallics TXV12114 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do these Metallics drill screws qualify for a Buy American or federal-funded job?
Made in the United States, and flagged both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant. For a federal, state, or municipal job carrying domestic-content language, that is the box these check. They also build to ASME B18.6.3-2010 for dimensions and SAE J78-2013 for the thread, which is what a submittal package usually wants named.
2) What is the difference between a Type BSD heavy duty drill screw and a standard self-drilling screw?
Type BSD is the heavier class: a thicker shank and a longer, larger drill point than the common #2 or #3 point screws used for sheet metal and drywall track. The TXV12114 is a 12-24 machine thread at 24 threads per inch rather than a coarse sheet metal thread, which is what lets it hold in the thicker 0.110 to 0.210 inch panel it is rated for. For attaching light gauge stud to track, or duct to duct, a smaller self-drilling screw drives faster and costs less. Use the BSD where you are fastening steel to steel and the joint is carrying load.
3) Can I use a 12-24 self-drilling screw to hang electrical panels and strut off steel framing?
That is a main use for this size. A 12-24 x 1-1/4 inch drill screw with a 5/16 hex head mounts panelboards, junction boxes, and conduit supports directly to steel framing or a strut backing without pre-drilling, as long as the steel it lands in falls between 0.110 and 0.210 inches thick. The 1-1/4 inch length gives enough shank to get through a mounting flange and still bury full thread in the steel. For anchoring into concrete or block instead, this is the wrong fastener entirely.
4) What size driver or socket do I need for the Metallics TXV hex head drill screws?
A 5/16 inch hex socket or nut setter. Head width measures 0.305 to 0.312 inches across the flats and 0.34 across the corners, which is the standard 5/16 unslotted hex washer head. Head height runs 0.139 to 0.155 inches. A magnetic nut setter in an impact driver is what most crews run these with.
5) Can I use these all-weather drill screws outside on exterior steel, or will they rust?
The zinc all-weather coating is what separates these from a plain zinc-plated drill screw, and it is intended for exterior steel work: fencing, exposed framing, rooftop equipment supports. The base material is AISI 1016 to 1024 carbon steel, so the coating is doing the corrosion work, not the steel. For coastal salt exposure or anywhere in contact with treated lumber or dissimilar metals, a stainless-capped fastener is the better call.
6) How much torque can a 12-24 drill screw take before it snaps in an impact driver?
92 lb-in minimum torsional strength, with the screw case hardened to Rockwell C32-40. That is the point where the fastener twists off, not a recommended install torque. Run an impact driver at moderate speed and let the drill point do the work; leaning on the trigger after the head seats is what shears these, particularly in thin panel where the threads strip before the head pulls down.
7) Do these screws come with a washer under the head or do I need to add sealing washers?
The head is formed with an integral washer, 0.398 to 0.432 inches outside diameter and 0.022 to 0.039 inches thick. That spreads bearing on the panel and gives the head a flat seat. It is a plain steel washer face, not a bonded EPDM sealing washer, so on a roof panel or anywhere the penetration has to be watertight you still need a separate sealing washer or a screw with a bonded washer.
8) How many drill screws come in a Metallics TXV12114 jar and what is the smallest quantity I can order?
They ship in a jar, and the order minimum is 50 pieces. Jar packaging keeps them together on a cart or in a gang box rather than loose in a box that splits. Total weight on the pack is 0.66 lbs.
