Metallics DS174M – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Type A tapping screw used for, and will the Metallics DS174M bite into sheet metal without a pilot hole?
The DS174M is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet (sharp) point, which is the coarse-thread point type meant for thin sheet metal, as well as resinous plywood and asbestos-type board. It is spaced thread at 11 threads per inch, so it clears chips in thin material. Type A is not a self-drilling screw: you still need a pilot hole in the gauge the material calls for, and the point starts the thread rather than cutting steel.
2) Does the Metallics DS174M qualify for a Buy American or ARRA-funded job?
Yes on both counts. The DS174M indented hex head tapping screw is flagged ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, which is what a government, school district, or federally funded institutional job usually needs on the submittal. Country of origin is listed as multiple.
3) What standards does this Metallics tapping screw meet for a spec submittal?
Dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2010 and the thread follows ASME B18.6.4. Steel is AISI 1016 through 1024, case hardened to Rockwell C28-38. Note that Metallics states dimensions for #9 diameter are independent of ASME B18.6.4, which does not affect this #12.
4) How do these screws ship, and is there a minimum order quantity?
They ship boxed with a 1,000 piece minimum order, so this is a bulk buy rather than a handful off the shelf. A full box weighs 16.75 lbs and the carton measures 7.25 x 6.25 x 6 in. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request.
5) Is zinc plating enough for exterior or damp-location electrical work?
The DS174M is steel with a zinc finish, which is a plated coating for indoor and dry-location work: panel and enclosure mounting, strut and box work, interior sheet metal. For sustained wet exposure, coastal air, or direct weather, zinc plate corrodes, and you want stainless or hot dip galvanized instead.
