Metallics JDS143V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is a Type A sharp point tapping screw like the JDS143V right for sheet metal, or do I need a self-drilling screw?
Type A tapping screws such as the JDS143V have a gimlet (sharp) point and form their own thread in a pre-punched or pre-drilled hole in thin sheet metal, wood, or similar. They do not drill their own pilot. If you need to go straight into metal without pre-drilling, a self-drilling (Type TEK) screw is the one to use instead. With a 3 inch length and 10 threads per inch, this one is sized for reaching through furring, strapping, or standoffs into a substrate rather than for thin sheet-to-sheet work.
2) How many Metallics JDS143V screws come in a box, and can I buy fewer?
The JDS143V ships as a 500 count jar, and 500 is the order minimum. It is not sold in smaller counts.
3) Do these Metallics tapping screws meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public job?
The JDS143V is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your specification requires documentation on a specific lot, request it with the order.
4) What size drive and wrench do I need for the Metallics JDS143V hex head tapping screw?
The JDS143V takes a 3/8 inch hex socket or wrench. Head width measures 0.367 to 0.375 inch across the flats, with 0.409 inch across the corners. It also has a slot in the head, so a flat blade driver works for starting or snugging by hand, with a slot width of 0.064 to 0.075 inch and slot depth of 0.083 to 0.101 inch. Head height runs 0.172 to 0.19 inch.
5) Will the JDS143V screws hold up indoors and in damp locations?
These are steel with a zinc finish, which handles dry interior work and incidental moisture. Zinc plating is not a marine or sustained-wet coating, so for exterior exposure or corrosive environments step up to a hot dip galvanized or stainless fastener.
6) What standard do these indented hex head tapping screws conform to?
Head and body dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2010, and the thread follows ASME B18.6.4. Material is AISI 1016 to 1024 steel, case hardened to Rockwell C28-38. Note that dimensions for the #9 diameter in the JDS family are independent of ASME B18.6.4.
7) How much torque can a #14 Metallics tapping screw take before it snaps?
Minimum torsional strength on the JDS143V is 125 lb-in. That is the drive limit, so set an impact driver or screw gun clutch below it. Over-torquing is the usual failure on a 3 inch #14 going into hard material, and the sharp gimlet point wants a pilot hole in anything dense.
8) How much does a jar of 500 of these 3 inch tapping screws weigh for shipping or a stockroom shelf?
A 500 count jar of JDS143V comes in at 16.9 lbs, with the package measuring 4.5 x 4.5 x 7.25 inches. Worth knowing if you are loading a van shelf or planning MRO bin space.
