Metallics JTEKD12212 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to pre-drill for these #12 x 2-1/2 inch hex head screws?
No pilot hole. It's a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw with a #2 drill point, so it cuts its own hole and forms its own thread in one pass through metal. The #2 point is the common light-to-medium gauge steel point size.
2) Are the Metallics JTEKD12212 screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JTEKD12212 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your spec carries a domestic sourcing requirement, this screw will not satisfy it.
3) Can I use these screws outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The JTEKD12212 is carbon steel with a zinc finish, made from AISI 1016 to 1024 steel. Zinc plating handles indoor and protected locations well, including damp mechanical spaces, but it is not a stainless screw and it is not intended for continuous weather exposure or coastal conditions. For exposed exterior work, go to a stainless self-drilling screw instead.
4) Does the Metallics JTEKD12212 come with a washer, or do I buy those separately?
The washer is part of the head, so nothing extra to order. The integral washer runs 0.398 to 0.432 inches outside diameter and 0.022 to 0.039 inches thick, which spreads bearing on strut, sheet metal, and channel without a loose washer to chase.
5) How many screws come in a pack of the Metallics JTEKD12212?
They ship in a jar of 100, which is the order minimum. Plan quantities in multiples of 100 rather than by the piece.
6) What is the thread pitch on a #12 x 2-1/2 self-drilling screw, and what standard does it meet?
14 threads per inch, built to SAE J78 - 2013 for the thread and ASME B18.6.3-2010 for head dimensions. That means the head and thread interchange with other J78 #12-14 drill screws, so a 5/16 driver and the same hole pattern carry over.
7) Will these screws snap when driven with an impact driver?
Minimum torsional strength is 92 lb-in, with case hardness at Rockwell C32-40. That's enough for impact driving in normal gauge steel, but back off the trigger as the washer seats, since over-torquing past 92 lb-in is what shears heads off drill screws rather than the metal thickness itself.
