Metallics JSTS10 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What kind of screw is the Metallics JSTS10, and what materials will it thread into?
The JSTS10 is a #6 x 1/2 inch Type A tapping screw with a gimlet point, meaning it forms its own thread as it drives. Type A with a gimlet point is intended for thin sheet metal, sheet metal enclosures, and similar thin-gauge work rather than solid stock or structural steel. Threads run 18 per inch to ASME B18.6.4.
2) Can I use stainless tapping screws on aluminum or steel enclosures?
You can, but watch the metal pairing. The JSTS10 is 18-8 stainless, and fastening stainless parts to aluminum or steel can set up a galvanic couple in some environments, which corrodes the softer metal at the joint. In damp, coastal, or chemically exposed locations, isolate the joint or pick a fastener matched to the base metal. In dry interior work it is normally not an issue.
3) Do Metallics JSTS10 screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The JSTS10 is not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On federally funded work with domestic sourcing language in the spec, this is not the fastener to submit.
4) Will a #6 pan head slotted screw sit flush in a standard device or cover plate hole?
Pan head, so it seats on the surface rather than countersinking. Head width runs 0.256 to 0.270 inch and head height 0.072 to 0.082 inch, which is a low profile that clears most plate and box openings but will stand proud of the surface. If you need the head buried, you want a flat or oval head instead.
5) How hard can I drive these screws before the head snaps off?
Torsional strength on the JSTS10 is rated at 24 lb-in minimum. That is low compared with hardened carbon steel screws, which is normal for 18-8 stainless, so drive them with a clutch set light or by hand. Impact drivers will twist heads off.
6) How are these Metallics tapping screws packaged and what is the smallest quantity I can order?
They come in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum. The jar weighs 0.25 lbs.
7) Is the JSTS10 head dimension built to a recognized dimensional standard?
Head and drive dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2013, with threads to ASME B18.6.4. Worth noting for anyone standardizing across a facility: Metallics states that dimensions for the #9 diameter in this family fall outside ASME B18.6.4, so if you spec a #9 alongside this #6, the head geometry will not be standard.
8) What trades actually use #6 x 1/2 in. stainless tapping screws like these?
Metallics lists the JSTS10 for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work. In practice that is mounting plates, straps, trim, and covers to sheet metal enclosures, panels, and duct where a self-tapping fastener and corrosion resistance both matter. The 1/2 inch length suits thin material with limited depth behind it.
