Metallics JTEK10PV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a pan head screw sit flush, or does the head stand proud of the panel?
Pan head, so it sits on top of the surface. Head height runs 0.087 to 0.097 in. and head width 0.256 to 0.270 in., meaning it stands under a tenth of an inch above the sheet and bears on about a quarter inch of surface. If you need the fastener flush or countersunk, this is the wrong head style.
2) What specifications do these Type BSD drill screws meet for a government or institutional submittal?
The JTEK10PV is a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw built to SAE J78 - 2013 for threads and ASME B18.6.3-2010 for dimensions. Thread type is UNC at 20 threads per inch. It is flagged Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple.
3) Is a 1/2 in. long self-drilling screw long enough for electrical box and strap work?
At 1/2 in. of length with 20 threads per inch, the JTEK10PV is sized for fastening into sheet metal, not for building up stacked material. After it drills and taps a panel of 0.035 to 0.090 in., you have plenty of thread engagement left. If you are going through two layers of strut or thick backing, step up to a longer screw.
4) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JTEK10PV screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess is a Phillips with a 0.159 in. recess diameter and a gaging depth of 0.055 to 0.080 in., so a worn or oversized bit will cam out and strip the head. Keep fresh #2 bits in the gun on a 500 piece jar.
5) Are these self-drilling screws rated for outdoor or wet locations?
These are steel with a zinc finish, silver in appearance. Zinc plating is a mild corrosion coating suited to dry interior work, panels, enclosures and indoor sheet metal. For exterior, damp or coastal exposure, use a stainless self-drilling screw instead.
6) Will these screws snap off when driven with an impact or high torque screw gun?
Minimum torsional strength is 24 lb-in, with case hardness at Rockwell C32-40. That hardness is what lets the point cut steel without rolling over, but 24 lb-in is not a lot of twist on a #6 shank. Drive them with a clutch or depth-sensitive screwgun rather than leaning on an impact driver, and back off once the head seats.
7) Do I need to drill a pilot hole before running these into a steel stud or enclosure?
No pilot hole. The drill point on this screw cuts its own hole and the UNC thread taps as it goes, which is the point of a Type BSD fastener. Keep the gun square to the work so the point starts clean and does not walk on the sheet.
8) How are the Metallics JTEK10PV screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 500, and 500 count is the order minimum. Package weight is listed at 1.25 lbs. That jar quantity suits a service van or MRO shelf rather than a single repair.
