Metallics JGDS3V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many Metallics JGDS3V deck screws come in a jar, and can I buy fewer?
The JGDS3V ships as a jar of 500 screws, and 500 each is the order minimum, so it is sold by the full jar rather than loose counts. The filled jar weighs 2.92 lbs. Metallics does note that other sizes and quantities are available by request.
2) Will a yellow zinc deck screw hold up outdoors on an exterior job?
The JGDS3V is steel with a yellow zinc dichromate finish, and Metallics lists it for all weather wood applications along with electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work. That coating is a sacrificial plating rather than stainless, so for coastal exposure, standing water, or ACQ-type treated lumber where a screw sits wet, a stainless or coating-rated-for-treated-wood screw is the safer call.
3) Is a #6 x 2 in. flat head screw the right size for fastening electrical boxes and straps to wood studs?
Yes, that is squarely what this one is for. The JGDS3V is a #6 diameter, 2 inch long screw with a flat head and coarse UNC threads, and Metallics lists it for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work as well as wood. The 2 inch length gives good bite into a stud through a box or strap, and the flat head sits flush or countersinks into wood so it does not stand proud under a device plate.
4) Do the Metallics JGDS3V screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a federal job?
No. The JGDS3V is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic-sourcing clause, this screw will not satisfy it and you need a certified domestic fastener instead.
5) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JGDS3V deck screws?
They take a #2 Phillips driver. Note the kit ships with a #1 drive power bit, so if your crew is running #2 Phillips bits already, keep using those for these screws.
6) Coarse thread or fine thread deck screw for softwood framing?
Coarse is what you want in softwood, and the JGDS3V is a coarse UNC thread. Wider thread pitch cuts and grips in low-density wood such as SPF and pine where a fine thread tends to strip the hole. Fine thread belongs in hardwood or sheet metal, not in framing lumber or decking.
7) Do I need to countersink or pre-drill for these flat head Phillips deck screws?
The flat head on the JGDS3V is self-countersinking into wood, so in framing lumber or decking you can drive it flush without a separate countersink. Pre-drilling is still worth it near board ends or edges to avoid splitting, and in hardwood. If you need a head that sits on the surface rather than pulling into it, a pan or hex washer head screw is the better pick.
8) What are the jar dimensions for the Metallics JGDS3V so I know it fits my van bin?
The 500-count jar measures 4.5 x 4.5 x 7.25 inches and weighs 2.92 lbs, so it stands upright in a standard parts bin or bucket organizer.
