Metallics JTS52 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Type A tapping screw used for, and is the Metallics JTS52 right for sheet metal boxes and strut?
The Metallics JTS52 is a Type A tapping screw, meaning it has a gimlet (sharp) point and a coarse 11 threads-per-inch thread that cuts its own thread in thin sheet metal without a nut. That is why it is listed for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work: fastening into sheet metal enclosures, duct, and light-gauge brackets. For thicker steel or machine-threaded holes you want a Type F or a machine screw instead, because the gimlet point needs thin stock to pull into.
2) Can I drive the Metallics JTS52 with a Phillips bit or does it need a flat blade?
Either works. The JTS52 has a combination slotted/Phillips pan head, so a flat blade or a Phillips bit both engage. The recess takes a #3 driver, with a Phillips recess diameter of 0.252 in. and a recess penetration gaging depth of 0.098 to 0.124 in. The slot is 0.056 to 0.067 in. wide and 0.055 to 0.077 in. deep, so a standard cabinet-tip flat blade seats fine. Torsional strength is 83 lb-in minimum, so keep an impact driver off high setting to avoid snapping heads.
3) Are the Metallics JTS52 screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a federal job?
No. The JTS52 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant; country of origin is listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic-sourcing clause, this part will not satisfy it.
4) How long is the Metallics JTS52 screw and how thick a stack can it fasten?
The JTS52 is a #12 diameter screw, 5/8 in. long. With an 11 TPI coarse thread and a gimlet point, most of that 5/8 in. is working thread, so it is sized for fastening a device, strap, or bracket to light-gauge sheet metal rather than for thick assemblies. If your stack-up plus engagement needs more than 5/8 in., step up to a longer length in the same JTS series.
5) How are the Metallics JTS52 screws packaged and what is the minimum I can buy?
They ship in a jar of 100, which is the order minimum. The jar weighs 0.74 lbs and measures 3 x 2.15 x 3 in.
6) Will zinc-plated steel tapping screws hold up outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
The JTS52 is zinc-plated carbon steel (AISI 1016 to 1024). Zinc plating is an indoor-duty coating: fine in enclosures, mechanical rooms, and dry interior work, but it will corrode in direct weather, wash-down, or coastal exposure. For exterior or wet locations, specify a stainless steel tapping screw rather than zinc-plated steel.
