Metallics JTEK34P – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to pre-drill a pilot hole for the Metallics JTEK34P screws?
No pilot hole needed. It is a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw, so the drill point cuts its own hole and the threads tap it in one pass within the 0.035 to 0.090 in. panel range it is rated for.
2) Is this screw Buy American and ARRA compliant for a federal or public works job?
Metallics lists the JTEK34P as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, which is what an institutional or government procurement file usually needs on a fastener line item.
3) What driver bit do I need for these Phillips pan head self-drilling screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess is a Phillips drive with a 0.159 in. recess diameter and a gaging depth of 0.055 to 0.080 in., so a #2 tip seats fully. Using a #1 will cam out and strip the recess.
4) How many screws come in a jar, and can I buy fewer than 100?
These ship in a jar with an order minimum of 100 count. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request, but 100 is the smallest increment on this item.
5) Will a #6 x 3/8 in. zinc self-drilling screw hold up outdoors or in a damp location?
The JTEK34P is carbon steel with a zinc finish, which is a dry-interior corrosion coating. For wet, exterior, or washdown locations, specify a stainless self-drilling screw instead. Note the country of origin is listed as multiple.
6) What standards do these Metallics self-drilling screws meet?
Dimensions are to ASME B18.6.3-2010 and the thread is to SAE J78-2013, UNC at 20 threads per inch. Hardness is Rockwell C32-40 with a minimum torsional strength of 24 lb-in. Metallics notes SAE J78 does not cover #7 diameter drill screws.
7) Will the pan head sit flush enough to mount a device or bracket flat against sheet metal?
A pan head does not sit flush, it sits on top of the surface. Head height runs 0.087 to 0.097 in. and head width 0.256 to 0.270 in., so plan on about a tenth of an inch of stand-off and a quarter-inch bearing footprint. If you need the head buried, use a flush or wafer head screw instead.
8) Is 3/8 in. long enough for screwing into a metal stud or a panel flange?
At 3/8 in. of overall length, the JTEK34P is a short screw built for sheet-to-sheet work where the drill point only needs to clear 0.035 to 0.090 in. of material. It is not meant to pass through a thick spacer or layered assembly, since the point and threads consume most of that 3/8 in. For stacked material, order a longer length in the same series.
