Metallics JTSF37 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size and type of screw is the Metallics JTSF37?
It's a #12 diameter by 2 inch long Type A tapping screw with a flat head and Phillips drive, in zinc plated steel. Thread count is 11 threads per inch and it has a gimlet point, so it starts itself in sheet metal without a pilot hole in thin gauges.
2) What size Phillips bit do I need for these #12 flat head tapping screws?
A #3 Phillips bit. The recess is 0.262 in. diameter, 0.144 in. deep and 0.035 in. wide, so a #2 bit will cam out and chew the recess under load.
3) Can I use these on a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. The JTSF37 is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. For federally funded work with domestic sourcing requirements you'll need a US-made fastener.
4) Do these Metallics tapping screws meet ASME B18.6.4?
Yes. The JTSF37 is built to ASME B18.6.4 for threads and ASME B18.6.4-1998 dimensionally, with steel to AISI 1016-1024. Note the Metallics line calls out that #9 diameter dimensions are independent of B18.6.4, but #12 like this one is covered.
5) Are these zinc screws suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
The finish is zinc plating over steel, which is a general indoor/dry-location coating. For exterior strut, rooftop equipment or damp areas, step up to stainless or a hot dip galvanized fastener. The JTSF37's stated field use is electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work.
6) How many Metallics JTSF37 screws come in a jar and what is the minimum order?
They're packed in a jar of 100, and the jar is the minimum order unit, so you buy in multiples of 100. Packed weight is 1.4 lbs.
7) What's the difference between a Type A tapping screw and a self-drilling screw?
A Type A screw like the JTSF37 has a gimlet point, a coarse 11 TPI thread that forms its own thread in a pre-punched or pre-drilled hole in sheet metal, wood or soft materials. It does not drill its own hole through heavier steel. If you're fastening into thicker gauge metal with no pilot hole, use a self-drilling (Type TEK) screw instead.
8) What pilot hole should I drill for a #12 Type A tapping screw?
Size the pilot off the gaging diameter, which is 0.362 in. for this #12 screw; protrusion past the gage is 0.027 to 0.045 in. above. In practice you drill under that so the thread has material to form into, and in thin sheet the gimlet point will start without a pilot at all.
