Metallics TGW12212 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size and drive is the Metallics TGW12212 metal to wood screw?
It's a #12 diameter screw, 2-1/2 inches long, with a 1/4 inch hex head driven by a hex bit. No Phillips or square drive option, so you'll want a 1/4 inch hex driver or socket in the impact.
2) Will the TGW12212 screw hold outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The TGW12212 carries a zinc all-weather coating, which is what it's built for: exterior and damp-location fastening rather than bare-steel indoor use only. It is not stainless, so for salt spray or coastal exposure a stainless fastener is the better call.
3) Does a #12 metal to wood screw with washer need a pilot hole in wood?
The TGW12212 has a gimlet point, which bores its own way into wood framing, so no pilot hole is normally needed in dimensional lumber. In dense or old hardwood a pilot still helps prevent splitting. The gimlet point is for driving into wood, not for self-drilling through steel, so the metal member needs to be pre-drilled or already punched.
4) What does the washer on a metal-to-wood screw actually do, and is it attached?
The TGW12212 is supplied as a metal to wood screw with washer, so the washer comes with the fastener. It spreads the clamp load across the sheet metal or strap being fastened down to wood, which keeps the head from pulling through thin gauge material or dimpling it.
5) Is the TGW12212 sold individually or do I have to buy a box?
These ship in a jar with a 100-count minimum, so the buying unit is 100 screws rather than a single fastener. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request if 2-1/2 inch isn't the length you need.
6) Does the Metallics TGW12212 meet Buy American requirements on a public job?
Metallics lists the TGW12212 as Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, with country of origin recorded as multiple. That's the data to hand your procurement office when a federally funded project asks for a domestic-preference declaration on fasteners.
7) Is 2-1/2 inches too long for fastening a strap to a 2x4 stud?
At 2-1/2 inches of total length, a #12 screw will bury most of its shank in a nominal 2x4, which is 1-1/2 inches thick, so it will pass through the far face. Use it where you're going into joists, blocking, beams or doubled framing, and step down to a shorter length (available by request) where you only have 1-1/2 inches of wood and nothing behind it.
8) What trades use the Metallics TGW12212 screw?
It's cataloged for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, typical work being securing straps, hangers, brackets, boxes and sheet metal to wood studs, joists and blocking.
9) How much does a jar of 100 TGW12212 screws weigh and how big is the container?
A jar runs 2.03 lbs and measures 5.75 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches, so it stows easily in a van bin or on a service cart.
