Metallics TXV123 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What steel thickness will a Metallics TXV123 self-drilling screw drill through?
The #5 drill point on the TXV123 is rated for panel thicknesses of 0.110 to 0.210 inches, so it drills and taps its own hole in structural steel in that range without a pilot hole. Below 0.110 inches the point can strip through before the threads engage, and above 0.210 inches you need a larger drill point or a pre-drilled and tapped hole.
2) Does the Metallics TXV123 meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a federal job?
No. The TXV123 is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this part will not satisfy it.
3) Can I use the Metallics TXV123 outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
Yes. The TXV123 carries a zinc all-weather coating, which is what makes it suitable for exterior strut, rooftop equipment, and unconditioned spaces. It is a coated carbon steel screw, not stainless, so for continuous saltwater or chemical exposure a stainless fastener is the better call.
4) Is the 3 inch length of the TXV123 mostly shank or is it threaded the whole way?
The TXV123 is a 12-24 thread at 3 inches overall length, with 24 threads per inch to SAE J78. The long length is there to reach through standoffs, spacers, insulation, or stacked steel members while the #5 point still does the drilling at the far side. Because the point only handles 0.110 to 0.210 inch of steel, the extra length is for standoff, not for thicker material.
5) Will the TXV123 drill screw snap when I drive it with an impact?
It is specified at 92 lb-in minimum torsional strength with a case hardness of Rockwell C32-40, which is what lets the point cut steel without the shank twisting off. Even so, drive it with a screwgun at controlled speed rather than a high-torque impact, and back off as soon as the washer seats.
6) How is the TXV123 packaged and what is the minimum I can order?
These heavy duty drill screws ship in a jar, with a minimum order of 100 count. It is a bulk MRO pack rather than a small blister, which suits crews consuming them by the handful on steel-to-steel work.
