Metallics JTS7 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do Metallics JTS7 #6 x 3/8 in. tapping screws need a pilot hole in sheet metal?
The JTS7 is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet (sharp) point, which is made to pierce and thread thin sheet material without pre-drilling. In thicker or harder stock you will still want a pilot hole, because the point relies on thin material to form the thread. Thread pitch is 18 per inch to ASME B18.6.4.
2) Do these Metallics screws meet spec for a commercial electrical submittal?
Dimensionally they are built to ASME B18.6.3-2013 with threads to ASME B18.6.4, and the material is AISI 1016 to 1024 steel. Note for publicly funded work: the JTS7 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple, so it will not satisfy a domestic-content clause.
3) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JTS7 combo head screws?
A #2 Phillips bit drives them, and because the head carries a combination Phillips/slotted recess a flat blade works too. Phillips recess diameter is 0.159 in., slot width 0.039 to 0.048 in. and slot depth 0.033 to 0.05 in., so a standard cabinet-tip flat driver seats fine when you don't have a bit holder on you.
4) Will a #6 pan head tapping screw clear the knockout area inside an electrical enclosure?
Head height on the JTS7 runs 0.087 to 0.097 in. with a head width of 0.256 to 0.27 in., so it sits close to the panel face and takes up very little room behind a cover or alongside a knockout. That low pan profile is why these get used for mounting plates, straps and brackets in panels and enclosures.
5) Is a Type A tapping screw the right choice, or do I need a self-drilling screw?
Type A, like the JTS7, has a sharp gimlet point and a coarse 18 TPI thread for thin sheet metal where the point can pierce on its own. If you are fastening into heavier gauge steel or structural material, a self-drilling (Type TEK) screw with a cutting tip is the one to use instead, since a gimlet point will just spin and polish the surface.
6) Are these zinc tapping screws OK for damp or outdoor HVAC work?
The zinc plating on these steel screws handles general indoor and sheltered conditions, which covers panel, duct and equipment work. For sustained wet exposure, salt air or direct weather, zinc-plated steel will eventually corrode and stainless is the better call.
7) How are the Metallics JTS7 screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship 100 to a jar, and 100 is the minimum order quantity, so one jar is the smallest buy. Jar weight is 0.23 lbs. The jar suits a van or gang box better than a loose bag for a part this small.
8) What trades and jobs are these #6 x 3/8 in. tapping screws intended for?
Metallics lists the JTS7 for electrical, plumbing, and heating and air conditioning work. In practice that means enclosure and panel assembly, strap and bracket mounting, duct and equipment hardware, and general building maintenance where you are fastening into thin metal.
