Metallics JTEKD146 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How thick a steel member will a #3 drill point screw go through?
The #3 drill point on the JTEKD146 is a heavier point than the #1 or #2 used for light gauge sheet, so it is the one to pick when you are fastening into structural steel or heavier framing rather than thin deck. Metallics rates drill time at 2.5 seconds through a 1 mm plate. The thread is made to SAE J78-2013 and the screw is hardened to Rockwell C32-40 so the point survives the drilling.
2) Does the Metallics JTEKD146 screw meet Buy American requirements for a federally funded job?
Metallics lists the JTEKD146 as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant. Country of origin on the record is China, so if your specification requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than the compliance flag, verify against your contract language before submitting.
3) What size driver or socket do I need for the Metallics JTEKD146 self-drilling screw?
It takes a 3/8 inch hex socket. The indented hex head measures 0.367 to 0.375 inches across the flats and 0.409 across the corners, so a standard 3/8 nut driver or magnetic hex bit seats on it. Head height runs 0.172 to 0.19 inches.
4) Do I need a separate washer with these hex head screws, or is one built in?
A washer comes assembled on the screw. Its outside diameter is 0.480 to 0.520 inches and thickness is 0.030 to 0.050 inches, which spreads the clamp load over a slightly larger footprint than the 3/8 head alone. No loose hardware to buy or drop on the job.
5) Is a zinc plated self-drilling screw OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The JTEKD146 is carbon steel with a zinc finish, which is a general-purpose indoor and protected-location plating. For sustained exposure, coastal air, or treated lumber contact, specify a stainless or heavier-coated drill screw instead. Base material is AISI 1016-1024 steel.
6) What standards does this #14 drill screw conform to for submittal purposes?
Two apply: ASME B18.6.3-2010 for head and body dimensions, and SAE J78-2013 for the thread and drill screw performance. Material is AISI 1016-1024 steel hardened to Rockwell C32-40. Note that SAE J78 does not cover #7 diameter drill screws, which matters if you are standardizing a full size range on one spec.
7) How many Metallics JTEKD146 screws come in a pack, and what is the minimum order?
They ship 100 to a jar, and 100 count is the order minimum. The packed jar weighs 5.68 lbs.
8) Can I get the Metallics JTEKD self-drilling screw in another length or a larger box quantity?
Yes. Metallics states other sizes and quantities in the JTEKD line are available by request, so if you need a shorter #14 or a bulk count beyond the 100 piece jar, it can be sourced within the same series and #3 drill point configuration.
