Metallics JTSF16 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do these Metallics tapping screws need a pilot hole, or will they start on their own?
The JTSF16 is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet point, so it starts easily in a punched or drilled hole in sheet metal and forms its own thread as it drives. It is not a self-drilling screw; it still needs a hole in the material, it just does not need pre-tapping. Thread pitch is 18 threads per inch.
2) Do these tapping screws meet a recognized dimensional spec for submittal?
Yes. The JTSF16 is built to ASME B18.6.4-1998 for dimensions and to ASME B18.6.4 for the thread, with material per AISI 1016-1024 and a case hardness of Rockwell C28-38. Note that for the #9 diameter screws in the JTSF family the dimensions fall outside ASME B18.6.4; the #6 x 2 in. conforms.
3) Can I use Metallics JTSF16 screws on a Buy American or ARRA federal job?
No. The JTSF16 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic-content requirements you will need a domestically sourced fastener.
4) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JTSF16 tapping screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The JTSF16 has a Phillips drive with a recess 0.168 in. across, 0.094 in. deep and 0.029 in. wide, so a #2 seats fully and keeps you from camming out on the 24 lb-in minimum torsional strength these screws are rated to.
5) Are these Metallics screws rated for outdoor or damp locations?
The JTSF16 is carbon steel with a zinc finish. Zinc plating is a mild corrosion coating suited to dry interior work such as electrical, plumbing and HVAC rough-in. For wet, exterior, or coastal exposure, use a stainless or hot-dip galvanized fastener instead.
6) What size hole should I punch for a #6 Type A tapping screw?
Size the hole around the screw's gaging diameter of 0.22 in., which is the reference diameter the thread is gaged to under ASME B18.6.4. In practice the pilot goes under that so the gimlet point can form thread; a hole at or above 0.22 in. will strip rather than hold.
7) How are Metallics JTSF16 screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They come in a jar of 100, and 100 is the minimum order quantity. The packed jar weighs 0.63 lbs.
