Metallics JDWC6C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are coarse thread drywall screws like the Metallics JDWC6C right for wood studs or metal studs?
Coarse thread is the wood stud choice. The JDWC6C runs 8 to 10 threads per inch with coarse UNC spacing and a sharp point, which bites and pulls into wood framing. Metallics lists its applications as wood to wood, drywall to wood and cabinet installations. For light gauge steel studs you want a fine thread drywall screw instead, since coarse threads strip out of sheet metal.
2) Can black phosphate drywall screws be used outdoors or in damp areas?
No. Black phosphate is an interior finish only. It gives light corrosion resistance and a surface that holds joint compound, but it is not a weather coating. Keep the JDWC6C to dry interior work and use a coated or galvanized deck or exterior screw anywhere exposed to moisture.
3) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JDWC6C drywall screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The head takes a Phillips drive with a recess depth of 0.106 in. and a recess diameter of 0.176 to 0.201 in., so a standard #2 tip seats fully and resists cam-out at screw gun speed.
4) Will a bugle head drywall screw countersink itself without tearing the paper face?
That is what the bugle head is for. On the JDWC6C the head measures 0.315 to 0.347 in. across with a head height of 0.020 to 0.031 in., so the curved underside pulls the board tight and dimples the paper rather than cutting through it, provided you set your gun depth stop. Metallics notes there is no single industry standard for bugle head dimensions, so slight deviations are normal.
5) Are these Metallics drywall screws hard enough that they will snap when driven into framing?
They are case hardened to Rockwell C45-64 and made from AISI 1018 steel, hard enough for the point and threads to cut wood without deforming. Hardened drywall screws do have limited shear strength, so they are for fastening board and trim, not for structural or load bearing connections.
6) Do these screws meet Buy American requirements on a federal job?
No. The JDWC6C 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.
7) How does the Metallics JDWC6C drywall screw ship, and what is the minimum I can buy?
It comes in a jar of 100, which is also the order minimum. The filled jar weighs 0.7 lbs.
8) Can electricians and HVAC installers use these screws for mounting boxes and brackets to wood?
Yes. Metallics lists the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades among the applications for this bugle head coarse thread screw, along with cabinet installations. The sharp point starts without a pilot hole in wood.
