Metallics JSTS12 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to drill a pilot hole for the Metallics JSTS12 #6 x 1 in. tapping screw, or does it cut its own thread?
The JSTS12 is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet point, so it forms its own thread as it drives into sheet metal, and a pilot hole sized to the root diameter is normal practice in heavier gauge. The thread runs 18 threads per inch to ASME B18.6.4. It is not a self-drilling screw, so it will not punch its own hole through steel.
2) Can I use these 18-8 stainless screws to fasten into aluminum or steel enclosures?
Mechanically yes, but be aware of the dissimilar metal issue: fastening stainless steel parts to aluminum or steel can set up a galvanic couple and corrode in some environments, especially damp or outdoor locations. For a dry indoor panel it is generally a non-issue; for exterior or wet locations, isolate the joint or use a fastener that matches the base metal.
3) Will these screws meet a Buy American requirement on a federal or public job?
No. The JSTS12 screws are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, these will not satisfy it.
4) How thick a material will a #6 x 1 in. pan head tapping screw hold?
Overall length is 1 inch, and because a Type A screw threads nearly its full length, that 1 inch is your combined grip plus engagement. The pan head sits on top of the work rather than countersinking, with a head width of 0.256 to 0.27 in. and a head height of 0.072 to 0.082 in., so subtract nothing for the head when you figure depth.
5) What standard do these pan head tapping screws conform to for head dimensions?
Head geometry follows ASME B18.6.3-2013 and the thread form follows ASME B18.6.4, which is what lets you cross reference them against a spec that calls out a #6 Type A pan head slotted screw. Note that dimensions for #9 diameter screws in this family fall outside ASME B18.6.4.
6) Are these the right screws for mounting device plates and sheet metal boxes in electrical work?
That is exactly the intended use. Metallics lists them for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, and a #6 x 1 in. pan head in 18-8 stainless is the common choice for sheet metal enclosures, straps, and brackets where you want corrosion resistance. The pan head gives a broad bearing surface on thin sheet without pulling through.
7) How do these Metallics tapping screws ship, and is there a minimum order?
They come packaged in a jar with a 100 piece minimum. The jar measures 3 in. long by 3 in. wide by 2.15 in. high and weighs 0.33 lbs, so it drops straight into a van bin or a service cart drawer.
8) Can I get this Metallics JSTS screw in a different length or diameter?
The JSTS12 itself is a fixed #6 diameter by 1 inch length, but Metallics offers other sizes and quantities in the JSTS tapping screw series by request. If your spec calls for a longer #6 or a different gauge in the same pan head slotted stainless configuration, ask for it by series rather than assuming JSTS12 covers it.
