Metallics JTSF14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a #6 x 3/4 in. Type A tapping screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
Yes, if the hole is countersunk. The JTSF14 has a flat head measuring 0.238 to 0.262 in. across with a head height of 0.069 to 0.083 in., so it seats flush in a countersunk or dimpled hole in sheet metal or a device box ear. In a plain drilled hole with no countersink the head will stand proud.
2) Do I have to pre-tap the hole for these Metallics self-tapping screws?
No. The JTSF14 is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet point, so it forms its own thread in a pilot hole in sheet metal. The 18 threads per inch and 0.22 in. gaging diameter set the pilot size you drill for. Tapping the hole first defeats the point of the screw.
3) Can I use these screws on a federally funded job with Buy American requirements?
No. The JTSF14 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with a multiple country of origin. If your project carries a domestic sourcing clause, you need a domestically produced fastener instead.
4) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JTSF14 tapping screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The JTSF14 is a Phillips drive screw, and the recess runs 0.168 in. diameter, 0.094 in. deep, with a 0.029 in. recess width. Stick with a #2; a #1 will cam out and chew the recess on a screw this size.
5) Are these zinc plated screws suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
The JTSF14 is zinc plated steel, which is an indoor and dry to damp location finish. It handles device boxes, panel interiors, raceway and general MRO work fine, but in a wet or corrosive exterior location zinc plating will eventually rust. Use stainless for sustained outdoor exposure.
6) How tough are these screws, and how much torque will they take before shearing?
They run Rockwell C28-38 case hardness with a 24 lb-in minimum torsional strength, made from AISI 1016-1024 steel. That is enough to drive through light gauge sheet metal, but it is a #6 screw at 24 lb-in, so back the clutch off on an impact driver or you will snap heads.
7) Do these Metallics tapping screws meet a recognized dimensional spec?
Yes. The JTSF14 is built to ASME B18.6.4-1998 for dimensions and ASME B18.6.4 for the thread. That matters if a submittal or a spec section calls out a standard tapping screw rather than a generic hardware store fastener. Note that within the JTSF line, #9 diameter dimensions are independent of ASME B18.6.4.
8) How are the JTSF14 screws packaged and what is the minimum I can buy?
They ship in a jar of 100, which is the order minimum. The jar weighs 0.3 lbs. Other sizes and quantities in the JTSF line are available on request.
9) What trades actually use a #6 x 3/4 in. flat head Type A tapping screw?
Metallics lists the JTSF14 for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. Typical use is fastening into sheet metal: duct, panel covers, device box ears, strut accessories and light gauge brackets where you want the head down flush and no tapping step.
