Metallics JTSF13 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do the Metallics JTSF13 screws need a pilot hole, or will they cut their own threads?
They form their own threads. The JTSF13 is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet point, meant to drive into sheet metal, thin steel, or soft material and tap as it goes. In heavier gauge stock you still want a clearance hole sized to the gaging diameter of 0.172 in. so the screw seats without snapping.
2) Can I use the Metallics JTSF13 screws on a Buy American or ARRA-funded job?
Both boxes are checked. The JTSF13 is flagged Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant on the manufacturer record, which is what a government, school, or healthcare procurement file usually wants documented. Country of origin is listed as multiple.
3) What screwdriver bit do I need for the Metallics JTSF13 tapping screws?
A #1 Phillips bit. The JTSF13 uses a Phillips drive with a #1 driver size, and the recess measures 0.122 in. diameter at 0.081 in. deep. Running a #2 bit in a recess that small will cam out and chew the head, so keep a #1 in the pouch for these.
4) Will a #4 x 1-1/2 in. flat head screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
Yes, if the hole is countersunk. The JTSF13 has a flat head measuring 0.191 to 0.212 in. across and 0.055 to 0.067 in. high, so it needs a chamfered or countersunk seat to finish flush. On flat sheet with no countersink it will stand proud by the head height.
5) What standard do these Metallics tapping screws meet for thread and head dimensions?
Both thread and head geometry follow ASME B18.6.4, with the dimensional standard cited as ASME B18.6.4-1998. That is the spec to reference if a submittal calls out a tapping screw by standard rather than by part number.
6) Are zinc plated tapping screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The JTSF13 is steel with a zinc finish, which is a general purpose indoor and dry-location plating. For a wet exterior run, standing water, or a coastal site, step up to a stainless or hot dip galvanized fastener instead; zinc plating over carbon steel will eventually rust through in constant moisture.
7) Are these screws hard enough to tap into steel without the threads stripping?
Case hardness runs Rockwell C28-38 on carbon steel in the AISI 1016 to 1024 range, which is the normal heat treat for a self-tapping screw that has to cut into sheet steel. Hard enough to form threads, still tough enough that the point does not shatter on impact driving.
8) How do the Metallics JTSF13 screws come packaged, and what is the smallest quantity?
They ship in a jar of 100. Order minimum is 100 count, so a jar is the base unit rather than loose pieces. Handy for a van stock item since the jar keeps them sorted from the rest of the fastener bin.
9) Is a #4 x 1-1/2 in. tapping screw long enough for mounting device boxes and straps?
At 1-1/2 in. long in a #4 diameter, the JTSF13 is a slender, long-reach screw. It suits mounting light strap, plate, and enclosure work where you need to reach through a spacer or drywall into thin steel behind it. For a heavier pull-out load, go up in diameter rather than relying on length, since #4 is a small shank.
