Metallics JDS175V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a #14 x 3/4 in. sharp point tapping screw work in sheet metal electrical boxes and duct?
That is exactly what the Metallics JDS175V is for. It's a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet (sharp) point and 10 threads per inch, so it cuts its own thread in thin sheet metal without a tapped hole. At 3/4 inch long it suits thin-gauge work like box, duct, and strap fastening; it is not a machine screw and will not thread into an existing tapped 10-32 or 1/4-20 hole.
2) Do these Metallics tapping screws qualify for Buy American on a federal job?
The JDS175V is flagged Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant in the manufacturer data. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your spec requires a single named origin, that is the point to pin down with the submittal.
3) Can I drive the JDS175V with a 3/8 hex driver, or do I need a screwdriver?
Either. The head is an indented hex with a slot, so a 3/8 inch hex driver or nutsetter works for speed, and a flat blade fits the slot for tight spots or final snugging. Head width across flats runs 0.367 to 0.375 in., width across corners is 0.409 in., and the slot is 0.064 to 0.075 in. wide by 0.083 to 0.101 in. deep.
4) How many Metallics JDS175V screws come in a pack?
They ship 500 to a jar, which is the order minimum (500 CT). Pack weight is 4.85 lbs. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
5) What standards do these indented hex head tapping screws meet?
Dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2010 and the thread follows ASME B18.6.4. Material is carbon steel to AISI 1016-1024, case hardness Rockwell C28-38, with a minimum torsional strength of 125 lb-in. Note that dimensions for the #9 diameter in this family fall outside ASME B18.6.4.
6) Will zinc plated screws hold up outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
Zinc plated steel is the finish here, which handles indoor and protected damp locations. For direct weather exposure, coastal air, or anywhere washdown chemicals hit the fastener, zinc plating will eventually sacrifice and rust, and stainless is the better call.
7) Is a Type A sharp point screw the right choice, or should I use a self-drilling screw?
Type A with a gimlet point needs a pilot hole or a soft, thin substrate it can pierce and tap as it drives. If you are fastening into heavier gauge metal with no pre-drilled hole, a self-drilling (Type TEK) screw is the better choice because it cuts its own hole. For pre-punched knockouts and light sheet, the Type A point threads faster and holds well at 10 TPI.
