Metallics JDS165V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a 1/4 inch hex driver or a nut setter fit the head on the Metallics JDS165V tapping screw?
Yes. The JDS165V has an indented hex head measuring 0.244 to 0.250 inches across the flats, so a standard 1/4 inch nut setter or hex driver seats on it. Width across corners is 0.272 inches, and head height runs 0.08 to 0.093 inches. The head is also slotted (slot width 0.039 to 0.048 inches, depth 0.033 to 0.046 inches), so a flat blade driver works when you cannot get a nut setter into a tight box or channel.
2) Do I need to drill a pilot hole for a #6 Type A sheet metal screw, or does it start on its own?
The JDS165V is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet (sharp) point, which is the self-starting style meant for thin sheet metal, with 18 threads per inch. The sharp point lets it start in sheet steel without a pilot in thin gauges. It is not a self-drilling screw, so in heavier stock you still drill. Type A thread form is for sheet metal and soft materials, not machine threads.
3) Do Metallics JDS165V screws meet Buy American requirements for a government or institutional job?
Metallics lists the JDS165V as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, which is the pair of flags most public and institutional procurement packages ask for on fasteners. Country of origin is listed as multiple.
4) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JDS165V, and can I buy a smaller amount?
The JDS165V ships as a 500 count jar, and 500 is the order minimum. Jar weight is listed at 3.1 lbs, with jar dimensions of 5.75 by 3.5 by 3.5 inches. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request.
5) Is this screw washer head or plain hex head? I need the bearing surface for strap and clip work.
The JDS165V head is an indented hex with an integral washer face: washer OD runs 0.302 to 0.328 inches and washer thickness 0.015 to 0.025 inches. That gives you more bearing surface than a plain hex head, which is what you want pulling down straps, clips, and sheet metal brackets without dimpling.
6) Can I use these zinc plated tapping screws outdoors or in a damp location?
The JDS165V is carbon steel with a zinc plated finish. Zinc plating handles dry interior and protected locations, which is where most electrical box, strap, and enclosure work happens. For sustained wet exposure or corrosive environments, specify stainless rather than a zinc plated steel screw.
7) What standards and material spec do these indented hex head tapping screws conform to?
Dimensionally the JDS165V is built to ASME B18.6.3-2010 with the thread form to ASME B18.6.4. Material is AISI 1016 to 1024 carbon steel, case hardened to Rockwell C28-38, with a minimum torsional strength of 24 lb-in. That hardness and torsional figure are what keep the head from twisting off when you drive into sheet steel with a cordless impact.
