Metallics JDS172SS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Metallics JDS172SS stainless tapping screw to fasten into aluminum or steel?
It will thread into both, but be aware of the galvanic issue: fastening stainless steel parts to aluminum or steel can set up a galvanic couple and cause corrosion in some environments. On exterior or damp installs, that matters more than on a dry indoor run. The screw itself is 18-8 stainless, so the fastener side holds up fine.
2) Does a Type A sharp point tapping screw need a pilot hole in sheet metal?
A Type A screw has a gimlet (sharp) point and a coarse thread, 11 threads per inch on the #12 size. It's made to start in a pre-punched or pre-drilled hole in thin sheet metal and form its own thread as it drives. It is not a self-drilling screw, so there is no drill flute on the tip, and it is not intended to cut its own hole in heavier stock. Thin gauge sheet, light channel, and sheet metal enclosures are where it works.
3) Do these Metallics tapping screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a federal job?
No. The JDS172SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic sourcing clause, these will not satisfy it.
4) Will a #12 x 1-1/4 stainless tapping screw strip or snap when I drive it hard?
These run Rockwell C28-38, which is a case where stainless tapping screws sit softer than a hardened carbon steel screw. Drive them at moderate speed with a 5/16 nutsetter rather than leaning on an impact driver, and in heavier stock drill the hole on the generous side. The slot gives you a second way to seat or back the screw out if the hex ever galls.
5) Can I get the JDS series tapping screw in a different length or diameter than #12 x 1-1/4?
Yes. Other sizes and quantities in the JDS tapping screw line are available by request. One note for spec work: dimensions for the #9 diameter are independent of ASME B18.6.4, while the rest of the line follows it.
