Metallics JTSF41 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Type A tapping screw used for, and is the Metallics JTSF41 right for sheet metal?
Type A is the coarse-thread, gimlet-point sheet metal tapping screw, and that is what the JTSF41 is. The gimlet (pointed) tip starts in a pilot hole in thin sheet metal and the 11 threads per inch cut their own thread as the screw drives. For thicker steel or for a blunt-point Type B thread, this is the wrong screw.
2) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JTSF41 #12 flat head Phillips screws?
A #3 Phillips bit. The recess is 0.262 in. diameter, 0.144 in. deep, with a 0.035 in. recess width, so a #2 bit will cam out and chew the head on a 2-1/2 in. drive. Load #3 bits before the crew heads out.
3) Are the Metallics JTSF41 screws rated for outdoor or damp locations?
These are carbon steel with a zinc plating, which handles indoor and dry or lightly damp service. Zinc plate is a sacrificial coating, not a marine finish, so for exterior exposure, roof work, or coastal air you want stainless or hot-dip galvanized instead.
4) Do these Metallics tapping screws meet a published dimensional standard for a spec job?
They are built to ASME B18.6.4-1998 for dimensions and to the same B18.6.4 thread standard, with material per AISI 1016-1024. Head and recess geometry, gaging diameter of 0.362 and protrusion gaging of 0.027 to 0.045 above are all published, so the submittal has real numbers behind it.
5) How much torque will a #12 JTSF41 screw take before it snaps?
83 lb-in minimum torsional strength, with the body case hardened to Rockwell C28-38. That hardness is what lets the thread cut sheet metal instead of deforming. On an impact driver it is easy to exceed 83 lb-in once the head seats, so back the clutch off rather than run it wide open.
6) Do these screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA federal job?
The JTSF41 is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your specification demands a single named origin on the certification, confirm the origin of the lot you receive.
7) Can I use the JTSF41 #12 tapping screw in wood or drywall instead of a wood screw?
It will bite wood, but it is not the right tool. At 11 TPI with a gimlet point and a hardened sheet metal thread form, the JTSF41 is made to tap thin metal. For framing or panel work use a wood screw or a drywall screw with a bugle head; for metal studs, electrical enclosures, strut, and sheet metal straps the JTSF41 is the correct fastener.
8) How are the Metallics JTSF41 screws packaged and what is the smallest quantity I can buy?
They come in a jar, 100 count, and 100 CT is the order minimum. Shipping weight on the jar is 1.86 lbs. Sizes and counts outside that are available by request.
