Metallics TXV123Z – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the TXV123Z screw strong enough for steel-to-steel framing without snapping?
It is a Type BSD heavy duty drill screw built for steel-to-steel work, with a minimum torsional strength of 92 lb-in and a case hardness of Rockwell C32-40. Drive it at the gun's lowest effective speed and stop as soon as the washer seats, since over-driving past seating is what shears a self-drilling screw rather than lack of strength.
2) Do the Metallics TXV123Z drill screws meet Buy American requirements for a government job?
Metallics lists the TXV123Z as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, which is what most federal, state, and institutional specs ask for on fasteners. Country of origin is recorded as multiple.
3) Does the TXV123Z come with a sealing washer, and how big is it?
There is an integral washer under the hex head, 0.398 to 0.432 inches outside diameter and 0.022 to 0.039 inches thick. It is a steel bearing washer that spreads load on the fastened member, not a bonded EPDM weather seal, so for exterior roof or wall panel work where water tightness matters you want a screw with a rubber washer instead.
4) What are the thread specs on the Metallics 12 x 3 inch hex head drill screw?
#12 diameter, 3 inches long, with 14 threads per inch to SAE J78-2013 and head dimensions to ASME B18.6.3-2010. At 3 inches of length a good portion is shank, so figure your grip plus enough thread engagement past the far face of the steel.
5) Are these zinc drill screws suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
The material is zinc plated steel (AISI 1016-1024), which is a dry-location and protected-service finish. It holds up in interior steel framing, equipment rooms, and strut work, but on exposed exterior or coastal installs zinc plating will eventually corrode, and galvanized or stainless is the better call there.
6) Can I use a #12 self-drilling screw like this to hang strut or conduit from steel?
Yes, that is the intended use. These are heavy duty steel-to-steel drill screws, so attaching channel, straps, boxes, or conduit clamps to metal studs, deck, or structural members in the 0.110 to 0.210 inch range needs no pilot hole. The hex head and washer give you a solid bearing surface against strut or a clamp ear.
7) How are the Metallics TXV123Z screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship 100 to a jar, and 100 count is the order minimum. The packed jar weighs 2.31 lbs. Other sizes and quantities in the TXV line are available by request.
