Metallics JTSP86 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a #12 x 4 in. Type A tapping screw work in sheet metal, or do I need a self-drilling screw?
The Metallics JTSP86 is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet (sharp) point, so it needs a pilot hole in sheet metal, it will not drill its own. The sharp point does let it start in soft materials like wood or fiberboard without a pilot. At 11 threads per inch the thread is coarse, which suits thin gauge metal, wood, and plastic rather than thick steel. If you need to go through structural steel without pre-drilling, you want a self-drilling screw instead.
2) Can I use Metallics zinc plated tapping screws outdoors or in a wet location?
Zinc plated carbon steel is a dry, indoor-grade finish. It handles incidental moisture and humidity, but in direct weather, masonry contact, or a corrosive or coastal environment the plating gives up and the screw rusts. For those openings specify stainless.
3) How wide is the pan head on a #12 tapping screw, and will it pull through a slotted strut or oversized hole?
The head measures 0.407 to 0.425 in. across with a height of 0.139 to 0.151 in. That bears on the surface without a washer on a standard clearance hole, but it is not wide enough to span the slot in strut channel or an oversized knockout, so add a washer there.
4) Do Metallics JTSP86 screws meet a dimensional standard I can put on a submittal?
Head dimensions are built to ASME B18.6.3-2013 and the thread to ASME B18.6.4, which is what a spec reviewer looks for on a tapping screw submittal. The screws are flagged ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in our records, with country of origin China.
5) How does the JTSP86 come packaged and what is the minimum I can buy?
Sold in a jar of 100, which is the order minimum, at 3.01 lbs for the container. The jar packaging is the practical difference from a loose bin count, it stays sorted on a service truck.
