Metallics JTEK71PSS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What metal thickness will a #6 x 1-1/2 in. self-drilling screw with a #2 drill point actually drill through?
The Metallics JTEK71PSS is rated for panel thickness of 0.035 to 0.090 in. That covers roughly 20 gauge up to about 13 gauge sheet steel, light steel studs, strut, and enclosure sheet metal. Thicker structural steel needs a larger drill point than the #2.
2) Do I need to pre-drill a pilot hole for these screws in sheet metal?
No. The JTEK71PSS is a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw with a drill point, so it cuts its own hole and forms its own thread in one pass. Metallics notes drill time is about 2.5 seconds through a 1 mm thick plate. Run it with steady pressure and let the point cut rather than leaning on it.
3) Are these Metallics JTEK self-drilling screws stainless enough for damp or outdoor electrical work?
They are 410 stainless steel, which is a hardenable martensitic stainless, hard enough to drill its own hole (Rockwell C38-46) while giving corrosion resistance plain carbon steel screws don't. 410 is fine for damp interior, washdown-adjacent, and general exterior use, but it is not 300 series stainless and should not be treated as a marine or chloride-exposure fastener.
4) What driver bit do I need for these pan head Phillips self-drillers?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess is a 0.159 in. Phillips with a gaging depth of 0.055 to 0.080 in., so a worn or oversized bit will cam out before the screw seats. Keep fresh #2 bits on hand if you're running a jar of 100 through a drill-driver.
5) How much do I have to buy at once, and how does it come packaged?
The JTEK71PSS ships in a jar with a 100 count order minimum, which is how Metallics sells this size. Per the manufacturer, other sizes and quantities are available by request.
6) Will a pan head screw sit flat enough for mounting a box or strap, or do I need a flat head?
Pan head, so it sits on top of the surface rather than countersinking. Head width runs 0.256 to 0.27 in. with a head height of 0.087 to 0.097 in., giving a broad bearing surface that holds a strap, clip, or box flange without pulling through thin sheet. If you need a flush surface, you want a flat or trim head instead.
7) What is the thread pitch on the #6 JTEK self-drilling screw, and does it hold in thin steel?
20 threads per inch on a #6 diameter. That pitch gives multiple threads of engagement even at the low end of its 0.035 to 0.090 in. panel range, which is what keeps the screw from stripping out of light gauge sheet. In anything thinner than 0.035 in. you're better off with a sheet metal screw and a backing or a rivet.
8) Will stainless self-drillers drive harder than plain steel ones?
Not in terms of required torque. Metallics states minimum torques are the same for stainless and steel self-drill screws, and this one is specified at 24 lb-in minimum torsional strength. The 410 stainless is heat treated to Rockwell C38-46 so the point stays hard enough to cut.
