Metallics SDS5B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Metallics SDS5B drywall screw drill into metal studs without a pilot hole?
Yes. The SDS5B is a self-drilling and tapping screw with a drill point, so it cuts its own hole through light gauge steel framing without pre-drilling. Field application covers wood, drywall, steel and aluminum.
2) Fine thread or coarse thread drywall screw for steel studs?
Fine thread is the one you want for steel studs, and the SDS5B is fine thread at 18 threads per inch, UNF. Coarse thread screws are for wood framing, where the wider thread bites into lumber. If you are hanging board over wood studs, order a coarse thread screw instead.
3) What size driver bit do these Metallics bugle head screws take?
A #2 Phillips. The recess is 0.106 in. deep and 0.176 to 0.201 in. across, which is standard #2 Phillips geometry. Three power bits ship with the box, so you have spares when the first one wears.
4) Will the bugle head sit flush without tearing the drywall paper?
That is what the bugle profile is for. The head is 0.315 to 0.347 in. wide with a head height of 0.020 to 0.031 in., so the tapered underside countersinks itself into the board face and leaves a shallow dimple you can skim with compound rather than a torn hole. Set your driver clutch so the head stops just below the paper.
5) How many Metallics SDS5B screws come in a box, and can I buy a smaller quantity?
The SDS5B ships as a box of 4,000 pieces, which is the order minimum. Metallics offers other sizes and quantities in the SDS and SDSB series by request if 4,000 of this length is more than the job needs.
6) Are these zinc drywall screws OK for exterior or damp locations?
Treat them as interior fasteners. The SDS5B is AISI 1018 steel with a zinc finish, which handles normal interior humidity but is not a corrosion coating for weather exposure or wet areas. For exterior sheathing or a wet location, use a fastener specified for exterior corrosion resistance.
7) Do Metallics SDS5B screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded project?
No. The SDS5B is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant; country of origin is listed as multiple. If your contract carries domestic sourcing requirements, this part will not satisfy them.
8) How hard are these screws, and will the drill point hold up in heavier gauge steel stud?
The screws are heat treated to Rockwell C44, which is what lets the drill point cut light gauge steel framing without snapping the shank. In heavy structural steel the point will dull quickly, so keep these to light gauge stud, track and furring.
9) How much does a box of 4,000 Metallics SDS5B screws weigh?
28 lbs per box. Worth knowing if you are staging material on upper floors or ordering several boxes to a lift.
