Metallics SDS1B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Metallics SDS1B #6 x 1 in. drywall screw go into metal studs without pre-drilling?
Yes. The SDS1B is a self-drilling and tapping screw with a drill point, so it cuts its own hole through light gauge steel framing. That is what the fine 18 threads per inch and the drill point are for. Hardened to Rockwell C44. No pilot hole needed on steel, wood, drywall or aluminum work.
2) Is a #6 x 1 inch drywall screw long enough for 1/2 in. drywall on steel studs?
At 1 inch long, the SDS1B leaves about 1/2 inch of thread past 1/2 in. board, which is ample purchase in light gauge steel. For 5/8 in. board, single layer, it still works but leaves less engagement; for doubled board you want a longer screw, not this one.
3) Fine thread or coarse thread drywall screws for metal framing?
Fine thread, which is what the SDS1B is: 18 TPI, UNF, with a drill point. Fine threads cut and hold in steel studs. Coarse thread is the one you reach for when you are screwing drywall to wood studs, because the deeper thread bites softer material better.
4) Can I buy a small box of the Metallics SDS1B, or is there a minimum quantity?
These go out in a box with a 10,000 piece minimum, sold each. That suits a production drywall crew or an MRO stockroom standardizing on one screw, not a single-room patch. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities can be had by request.
5) Are Metallics SDS1B screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The SDS1B is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this screw will not satisfy it.
6) What size driver bit do I need for Metallics SDS1B drywall screws?
A #2 Phillips. The SDS1B has a Phillips recess 0.176 to 0.201 in. diameter and 0.106 in. deep, which is standard #2 territory. Three power bits ship with the box, so your crew can start without sourcing bits separately.
7) Will the bugle head sit flush without tearing the drywall face paper?
That is the point of the bugle profile. The SDS1B head is 0.315 to 0.347 in. across with a head height of 0.020 to 0.031 in., so the curved underside compresses the paper and seats just below the surface rather than cutting it. Note there is no single industry standard for bugle head dimensions, so slight deviation from those figures is normal.
8) Is the zinc finish on these screws OK for exterior or damp locations?
The SDS1B is steel with a zinc finish over AISI 1018 material, which is an interior-grade coating. Use it for interior partitions, ceilings and furring. For exterior walls, unconditioned space or anywhere subject to moisture, specify a screw with a corrosion-rated coating instead.
9) How much does a box of 10,000 Metallics SDS1B screws weigh and how big is the carton?
Figure 38 lbs for the box, measuring 9 x 9 x 6.13 inches as listed. Worth knowing if you are staging material on upper floors or shipping to a jobsite with no lift.
