Metallics JDS170V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a #12 sharp point tapping screw work in sheet metal without pre-drilling?
The JDS170V is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet (sharp) point, which is the style meant to pierce and thread thin sheet metal and non-metallic sheet without a tapped hole. Thread count is 11 per inch, the coarse spacing Type A uses to grip thin stock. In heavier gauge steel you still want a pilot hole; the sharp point starts the screw, it does not drill.
2) Can I buy the Metallics JDS170V screws in small quantities, or is there a minimum?
They ship in a jar of 500 with a 500 count order minimum, so the smallest buy is one 500-piece jar. The filled jar weighs 3.95 lbs. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
3) Does the indented hex head on these screws include a built-in washer face, and how much does it cover?
Yes, the JDS170V has an indented hex head with an integral washer. Washer OD runs 0.398 to 0.432 in. and washer thickness 0.022 to 0.039 in., so it spreads load over a wider bearing area than a plain hex head and helps on slotted or oversized holes in sheet metal. Overall head height is 0.139 to 0.155 in.
4) Are Metallics JDS170V tapping screws acceptable on a federally funded or Buy American job?
The JDS170V is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA requirements in Metallics' product data. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your specification requires a single named origin on the submittal, that is worth confirming for the lot you receive.
5) What standards and material do these #12 hex head tapping screws meet for a submittal?
Dimensions are to ASME B18.6.3-2010 and the thread form to ASME B18.6.4. The screws are made from AISI 1016 to 1024 steel, case hardened to Rockwell C28-38, with a minimum torsional strength of 83 lb-in. Finish is zinc plating over steel.
6) Is 3/4 inch long enough for mounting boxes and straps to metal studs?
At #12 diameter by 3/4 in. long, these cover typical electrical work: securing boxes, straps, clamps, and plates to metal studs, channel, and sheet metal enclosures. Subtract the thickness of the part you're fastening through, and you have roughly a half inch of thread left to engage the stud, which is plenty for 20 to 25 gauge steel. For thicker assemblies or stacked members, step up to a longer length from the JDS series.
7) Will zinc plated steel tapping screws hold up outdoors or in a damp location?
Zinc plating on carbon steel is a mild corrosion coating, suited to dry interior electrical and sheet metal work. For exterior, wash-down, coastal, or other wet locations, specify a stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized fastener instead; zinc plate will eventually rust in standing moisture.
