Metallics TSP14M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Type A sharp point tapping screw hold in sheet metal without a pilot hole?
The TSP14M is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet (sharp) point and 18 threads per inch, so it starts itself in thin sheet metal, sheet metal boxes, and similar light-gauge material. Type A is for thin stock only; in thicker steel, a drilled pilot sized to the thread is still the right approach, and heavy structural steel calls for a self-drilling screw instead.
2) Will a #6 pan head screw clear inside an electrical box or sit flush against a plate?
The pan head on the TSP14M measures 0.256 to 0.27 in. across and 0.087 to 0.097 in. high, so it stands proud of the surface rather than sitting flush. That low profile clears most device plates and box interiors, but if you need the head buried, use a flat head screw in a countersunk hole instead.
3) Are Metallics TSP14M screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The TSP14M is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing requirements, this screw will not satisfy the spec.
4) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics TSP14M #6 x 3/4 in. pan head tapping screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The TSP14M uses a Phillips drive with a recess diameter of 0.153 to 0.166 in. and a recess depth of 0.091 in., so a #2 tip seats properly without camming out. A #1 will spin out of the recess and a #3 will not bottom.
5) How are the Metallics TSP14M tapping screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 1,000. The order minimum is 1,000 pieces, so this is a bulk pack for crews doing repeated box, strap, and plate fastening rather than a small count for a single repair.
6) What standards do these #6 pan head Phillips tapping screws meet?
Dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2013 for the head and drive, and the thread follows ASME B18.6.4 for tapping screws. Steel is AISI 1016 to 1024, case hardened to Rockwell C28 to 38. Note that Metallics states dimensions for #9 diameter are independent of ASME B18.6.4.
7) How much torque will these #6 tapping screws take before they snap?
24 lb-in minimum torsional strength, with a hardened body at Rockwell C28 to 38. That is enough for hand driving or a clutched driver on light-gauge steel, but a high-torque impact driver on a #6 shank will twist heads off. Back the clutch down.
8) Is a zinc plated steel tapping screw okay for outdoor or damp locations?
The TSP14M is zinc plated carbon steel, which is a dry indoor finish. It handles normal interior electrical work fine, but in wet locations, exterior exposure, or corrosive environments the plating gives out and you want stainless or hot dip galvanized fasteners instead.
