Metallics JTEKD36 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thickness of steel will a #3 drill point self-drilling screw go through?
The Metallics JTEKD36 carries a #3 drill point, which is the heavier-gauge point in the self-drill range and is meant for structural steel and heavy gauge framing rather than thin sheet. The point drills its own hole and the thread taps it in one pass, so no pilot hole is needed. Manufacturer data cites a drill time of 2.5 seconds for a 1 mm thick plate.
2) What size socket or nut driver do I need for the Metallics JTEKD36 hex head screw?
A 3/8 inch hex driver. The indented hex head measures 0.367 to 0.375 inch across the flats and 0.409 across corners, so a standard 3/8 nut setter in an impact or screw gun seats on it cleanly. Head height runs 0.172 to 0.190 inch.
3) What standards do these #14 self-drilling tapping screws meet?
The JTEKD36 is built to ASME B18.6.3-2010 for dimensions and SAE J78-2013 for the thread and drill point, with steel per AISI 1016-1024 and a case hardness of Rockwell C32-40. Note that SAE J78 does not cover #7 diameter drill screws, so that size falls outside the standard.
4) Will these screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. The Metallics JTEKD36 is sourced from multiple countries and is flagged as neither Buy American nor ARRA compliant, so it will not satisfy a domestic-content requirement on federally funded work. Specify a domestically produced fastener for those jobs.
5) Does the JTEKD36 screw come with a sealing washer or just a steel washer?
It has a bonded-free steel washer face built into the head, with an outside diameter of 0.480 to 0.520 inch and a thickness of 0.030 to 0.050 inch. That spreads the clamp load over strut, clip, and sheet metal connections. It is not described as a sealing washer, so for weather-exposed roof or siding work you want a screw supplied with an EPDM washer instead.
6) Can I use zinc plated self-drilling screws outdoors?
The JTEKD36 is carbon steel with a zinc plated finish, which is an indoor or protected-environment coating. It holds up in dry interior electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work. For exterior, damp, or corrosive environments, step up to a stainless or a heavier coated self-drill screw.
7) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JTEKD36?
They ship 100 per jar, and the jar is the minimum order quantity. The packed jar weighs 3.37 lbs.
8) Is a 3 inch long self-drilling screw too long for attaching strut or conduit clamps?
At 3 inches of length in a #14 diameter, the JTEKD36 is meant for thick build-ups, standoffs, or fastening through insulation and furring into steel. For fastening a clamp flat to strut you only need enough length to clear the material plus a few threads past the far face, so a shorter #14 self-drill is usually the better call. Order this one when the total stack-up is deep.
