Metallics JTEK12PSS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What metal thickness can the Metallics JTEK12PSS self-drilling screw drill through?
The JTEK12PSS is rated for panel thickness of 0.035 to 0.090 in. That covers common sheet metal gauges used for duct, strut backing plates, and light steel framing. Thicker steel than 0.090 in. needs a heavier drill point than the #2 point on this screw.
2) Do I need a pilot hole for the Metallics JTEK12PSS screw?
No. It is a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw with a drill point, so it bores and taps its own hole in sheet metal in one pass. Drill time is about 2.5 seconds through a 1 mm thick plate.
3) Will 410 stainless self-drilling screws rust outdoors or in a damp mechanical room?
These screws are 410 stainless steel, which is a hardenable martensitic stainless. That hardness is what lets a stainless screw drill its own hole, and the trade-off is that 410 gives less corrosion resistance than 300 series stainless. It holds up in damp interior and sheltered exterior work; for direct salt or chemical exposure, 410 is not the grade to specify.
4) What driver bit do I need for the JTEK12PSS screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The head takes a Phillips drive with a recess diameter of 0.159 in. and a recess penetration gaging depth of 0.055 to 0.080 in., so a standard #2 insert bit seats fully. Run them at drill speed, not impact hammer, to avoid cam-out on stainless.
5) What size and thread pitch is the Metallics JTEK12PSS screw?
It is a #6 diameter by 1 inch long screw with 20 threads per inch, built to SAE J78 - 2013 for the thread form and ASME B18.6.3-2010 for dimensions. The 20 TPI machine-screw-style thread is what gives it holding power in thin steel rather than the coarse thread used in wood.
6) How much torque can these stainless self-drilling screws take before they snap?
Torsional strength is 24 lb-in minimum on the JTEK12PSS. That is the driving limit, and the published minimum torques are the same for stainless and steel self-drill screws, so there is no need to derate your driver clutch for the stainless version. Set the clutch rather than running wide open; a #6 stainless screw will twist off before it strips a thin panel.
7) Can I use the Metallics JTEK12PSS on a Buy American or ARRA funded electrical job?
Metallics lists the JTEK12PSS as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant. Country of origin is China. Many federal and public-agency electrical specs accept compliant commodity fasteners on that basis, so check which clause your project is written under before you commit a large quantity.
8) How do the JTEK12PSS screws come packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, which is the order minimum (100 count). Shipping weight for the jar is 0.38 lbs. Other sizes and quantities are available by request if you need a different diameter, length, or bulk count for a standardized fleet of panels.
