Metallics JTEKD65 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a pre-drilled hole for these #6 self-drilling screws?
No. The JTEKD65 is a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw, so the drill point bores the hole and the threads tap it in one pass. The description puts drill time at about 2.5 seconds through a 1 mm plate.
2) What driver bit or socket fits the JTEKD65 screw head?
It takes a 1/4 inch hex driver. The indented hex head measures 0.244 to 0.25 inch across the flats, 0.272 inch across the corners, with a head height of 0.08 to 0.093 inch, so a standard 1/4 inch magnetic hex driver in a screw gun seats on it directly. No bit tip required.
3) Will these screws snap when driven with an impact driver?
The JTEKD65 carries a 24 lb-in minimum torsional strength and is case hardened to Rockwell C32-40 from AISI 1016-1024 steel. That is adequate for a screw gun with the clutch set properly. Impact drivers routinely exceed 24 lb-in, so back the torque down or use a depth sensitive screw gun to avoid shearing heads.
4) Are zinc plated steel drill screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The JTEKD65 is zinc plated steel, which is a mild indoor corrosion finish. It is fine for interior electrical, duct, and strut work. For exterior exposure, roof decks, coastal sites, or anywhere subject to standing water, specify a stainless self-drilling screw instead.
5) Do the Metallics JTEKD65 screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a public job?
The JTEKD65 is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American in the product data, with country of origin listed as China. On a federally funded project, confirm which clause your contract actually invokes, since the two provisions treat fasteners differently.
6) What does the washer on this Metallics hex head screw do, and how big is it?
The integral washer spreads clamping load and helps seal the hole against the panel face, which matters when you are fastening strut, hanger, or sheet metal where the hole is slightly oversized. Washer OD runs 0.302 to 0.328 inch and washer thickness 0.015 to 0.025 inch.
7) What thread pitch do the Metallics JTEKD #6 drill screws have?
20 threads per inch, built to SAE J78 - 2013 for thread form and ASME B18.6.3-2010 for head dimensions. That is the standard #6-20 self-drill thread, so it will mate with existing #6 drill screw holes in sheet metal.
8) How many Metallics JTEKD65 screws come in a jar, and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum. Jar weight is 0.59 lbs.
