Metallics JDS174SS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a #12 x 2 in. Type A tapping screw work in sheet metal without pre-drilling?
The JDS174SS is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet (sharp) point, so it starts and forms its own thread in thin sheet metal and similar soft materials. Thread count is 11 per inch, cut to ASME B18.6.4. For thicker gauge stock or structural steel you still want a pilot hole, and a Type A sharp point is not the right choice there anyway.
2) Can I use these stainless tapping screws on aluminum enclosures or steel strut outdoors?
You can, but be aware of the galvanic risk: fastening 18-8 stainless parts to aluminum or steel can set up a galvanic couple in some environments, which corrodes the aluminum or steel rather than the screw. In wet or coastal exposure, isolate the joint or use a matched-material fastener instead. In dry indoor work the 18-8 stainless is a straightforward corrosion-resistant choice.
3) How many Metallics JDS174SS screws come in a pack, and how are they supplied?
They ship in a jar, with a minimum order of 100 count. That makes them practical for a service truck or a shop bin rather than a single-screw replacement.
4) Is the JDS174SS hex head screw a sealing or washer-head type?
The indented hex head carries an integral washer face with an outside diameter of 0.398 to 0.432 inch and a thickness of 0.022 to 0.039 inch, which spreads the bearing load on sheet metal. It is not a gasketed or sealing screw, so no weather seal should be assumed from the washer face alone.
5) Do these Metallics tapping screws meet Buy American requirements for a government or institutional job?
The JDS174SS is flagged as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in the manufacturer data. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your spec requires a single documented origin, request the certification for the lot you receive.
6) How deep will a 2 inch tapping screw actually hold if I am fastening through furring or a thick panel?
Overall fastener length is 2 inches, measured under the head, and head height adds another 0.139 to 0.155 inch. Subtract your panel thickness from the 2 inches to see what is left for thread engagement in the base material; with a Type A sharp point you want several threads fully engaged past the back face.
7) What standard are these #12 indented hex head tapping screws built to?
Head geometry follows ASME B18.6.3-2010 and the threads follow ASME B18.6.4. Hardness is Rockwell C28-38. Those three values are what a submittal reviewer usually asks for on a fastener schedule.
