Metallics JTSF32 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size Phillips bit do I need for Metallics JTSF32 screws?
A #3 Phillips bit. The recess is 0.262 inch in diameter and 0.144 inch deep, which is larger than the #2 most crews keep in the driver, so a #2 will cam out and chew the recess. Keep a #3 in the pouch before you start the run.
2) Can I use these on a federally funded or Buy American job?
No. The JTSF32 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a job with domestic sourcing requirements you need a domestically produced fastener instead.
3) How many Metallics JTSF32 screws come in a jar and can I buy fewer?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request.
4) Are these zinc plated screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The JTSF32 is carbon steel with a zinc finish, which is a light corrosion coating meant for dry interior work, boxes, panels, duct, and strut inside the building. For exterior, wet, or coastal exposure, go to a stainless or hot dip galvanized tapping screw instead; zinc plating will bloom white rust and then rust through.
5) Will these screws snap when I drive them with an impact driver?
They are rated to 83 lb-in minimum torsional strength and case hardened to Rockwell C28-38, which is normal for a hardened sheet metal screw. An impact driver will exceed 83 lb-in easily, so run it on a low setting or use a clutch drill and stop at seating. Over-torque is the usual cause of snapped heads on this size.
6) Do Metallics JTSF32 tapping screws meet a published dimensional standard for spec submittals?
Yes. Dimensions conform to ASME B18.6.4-1998 and the threads to ASME B18.6.4, with steel per AISI 1016-1024. Metallics does note that #9 diameter dimensions are independent of ASME B18.6.4, but that caveat does not apply to this #12 screw.
