Metallics JSTSP10 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to pre-drill for Metallics #6 x 1/2 in. Type A tapping screws, or will they cut their own thread?
The JSTSP10 is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet point, so it cuts its own thread as it drives in thin sheet metal and similar substrates without a tapped hole. A pilot hole is still normal practice in heavier gauge steel; the point is sharp enough to start on its own in light material. Thread pitch is 18 per inch to ASME B18.6.4.
2) Will 18-8 stainless tapping screws hold up in a damp or outdoor electrical enclosure?
These screws are 18-8 stainless steel, which is the standard austenitic grade used where plated carbon steel would rust, so they are a reasonable choice for damp interior locations, rooftop HVAC work, and enclosures exposed to weather. Note that 18-8 is softer than hardened carbon steel; torsional strength here is 24 lb-in minimum, so drive them with a controlled clutch rather than an impact driver to avoid twisting the head off.
3) Are these screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a federal or publicly funded job?
No. The Metallics JSTSP10 tapping screw is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries domestic-sourcing requirements, this part will not satisfy them and you need a domestically produced fastener instead.
4) What size Phillips bit drives a #6 pan head tapping screw?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess on the JSTSP10 measures 0.153 to 0.166 inch in diameter and 0.091 inch deep, which is standard #2 Phillips geometry. A worn or #1 bit will cam out and chew the recess, which matters more on stainless than on hardened steel.
5) How much clearance does the pan head take up, and will it interfere with a device or cover plate sitting over it?
Head height runs 0.087 to 0.097 inch and head diameter 0.256 to 0.270 inch on this #6 pan head screw. That is roughly a tenth of an inch of stand-off above the surface, so plan for it under flush-mounted covers or sliding components. If you need the head to sit flush in a countersunk hole, a pan head is the wrong profile and you want a flat head instead.
6) How are Metallics JSTSP10 screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They come in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum, so you buy a full jar rather than loose counts. For a shop standardizing a fastener bin across crews, that is a clean single-SKU restock.
