Metallics JTEK13P – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a #6 x 1 inch self-drilling screw hold in metal studs for electrical box and strap mounting?
Yes for standard light gauge steel framing. The #6 by 1 inch Metallics JTEK13P has 20 threads per inch and a minimum torsional strength of 24 lb-in, and it drills and taps metal from 0.035 to 0.090 inches thick, which is the range typical drywall and commercial metal studs fall in. The 1 inch length leaves plenty of thread past a strap or box flange.
2) Can I use the Metallics JTEK13P on a Buy American or ARRA funded project?
No. The JTEK13P is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. For federally funded work carrying domestic sourcing requirements you will need a domestically produced fastener.
3) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JTEK13P screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The pan head has a Phillips recess 0.159 inches in diameter with a gaging depth of 0.055 to 0.080 inches, so a #2 point seats fully. A #1 will cam out and a #3 will not bottom in the recess.
4) How much does the pan head on these #6 screws stand off the surface?
Head height runs 0.087 to 0.097 inches with a head width of 0.256 to 0.270 inches. That is a low, broad bearing surface, so the screw clamps a strap or plate without digging in, but it is not flush. If you need the head buried, use a flat head screw instead.
5) Are the Metallics JTEK13P screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
They are steel with a zinc finish, which handles dry interior and lightly protected work. Zinc plating is not a marine or sustained wet location coating, so for exterior exposure, coastal air, or wash-down areas choose a stainless or coated exterior grade fastener instead.
6) What standards do the Metallics JTEK13P Type BSD screws meet?
Head and recess dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2010 and the thread conforms to SAE J78-2013, the self-drilling tapping screw standard. Case hardness is Rockwell C32-40. One caveat worth knowing on spec work: SAE J78 does not cover #7 diameter drill screws, so a #7 call-out on a drawing has no standard behind it.
7) Do I need to pre-drill before running these screws into sheet metal?
No pilot hole. The JTEK13P is a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw, meaning the point drills the hole and the thread taps it in one pass within its 0.035 to 0.090 inch panel range. Run it at moderate speed with firm pressure and let the point cut before the thread engages.
8) How are the Metallics JTEK13P self-drilling screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They come in a jar, with a minimum order of 100 count. That is the standard pull quantity for an electrician's bag or a van stock bin rather than a bulk contractor box.
