Metallics JTTS12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver does the Metallics JTTS12 tri-drive screw take?
The JTTS12 head takes three drivers: a flat blade for the slot, a Phillips bit, or a square (Robertson) bit. That is what tri-drive means here, so whatever is already in the pouch will turn it. The head itself is a pan head, so it seats flat against the plate or box ear with a broad bearing surface.
2) Is a #6 x 1/2 in. tapping screw long enough for mounting device plates and box ears in sheet metal boxes?
At 1/2 inch of length under a #6 diameter, the JTTS12 is sized for thin-gauge work: sheet metal enclosures, box ears, mounting straps, and plate hardware where the screw only needs to bite through a single thickness. It is a tapping screw, so it cuts its own thread in the pre-punched hole rather than needing a nut behind it. For anything thicker than light sheet, or where you need the screw to pass through and project, you want a longer length.
3) Will zinc plated steel screws hold up in a damp or outdoor electrical enclosure?
The JTTS12 is zinc plated steel, which is a dry-location and general indoor finish. It handles the incidental moisture of a mechanical room or a garage, but for sustained wet exposure, coastal air, or direct weather, specify stainless instead. Zinc plating will eventually give up in those conditions.
4) Do I need to pre-drill or tap a hole for the JTTS12, or does it cut its own thread?
It is a thread-cutting tapping screw, so it forms its own thread in a pilot or pre-punched hole. No nut, no tapping operation. You still want a correctly sized pilot in solid stock; in factory-punched enclosure holes it goes straight in.
5) Is the pan head on this screw flush, or does it sit proud of the surface?
Pan head sits proud. It has a rounded top with a flat underside and no countersink, so it clamps on the surface rather than sinking into it. If you need the fastener flush with a finished face, you want a flat head in a countersunk hole, not this one.
6) How do Metallics JTTS12 screws come packaged?
They ship in a jar, 100 screws per jar. That is the format MRO and electrical stockrooms tend to prefer over a loose bag, since the jar stays on the shelf and the count stays honest. Handy if you are standardizing on one plate screw across a building.
7) Are Metallics JTTS12 tapping screws made in the USA?
Yes. The JTTS12 #6 x 1/2 in. pan head tri-drive tapping screw is manufactured in the USA, which matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic sourcing language.
