Metallics JPDS1V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a #6 x 7/16 in. self-drilling framing screw go through metal studs without pre-drilling?
The Metallics JPDS1V has a #2 drill point, so it drills and taps its own hole in light gauge steel framing with no pilot hole. Because the shank is only 7/16 inch long, it is for fastening track to stud or stud to stud where the combined metal thickness is thin, not for going through drywall into framing.
2) Can I use black phosphate framing screws outdoors or in a damp area?
No. Black phosphate is a dry interior finish with minimal corrosion resistance, so these steel screws belong in interior framing only. For exterior walls, soffits, or wet locations choose a mechanically galvanized or stainless self-drilling screw instead.
3) Are these the same as drywall screws for hanging board?
No. The JPDS1V is a framing screw, used to join light gauge steel framing members to each other before the board goes up. Its #2 drill point and pan head are for metal-to-metal connections. Bugle head drywall screws are what you want for fastening gypsum board to the studs.
4) What size driver bit do I need for the Metallics JPDS1V framing screw?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess is a Phillips drive with a recess depth of 0.086 to 0.106 inch, so a worn or undersized bit will cam out before the screw seats. Use a fresh #2.
5) Is a pan head the right choice for framing screws, or should I use a wafer head?
Pan head is what the JPDS1V uses, with a head width of 0.295 inch at the bottom tapering to 0.263 inch and a head height of 0.098 to 0.114 inch. That low profile clamps metal-to-metal connections well, but it still stands above the face of the stud. If you need the surface to finish flat for drywall over it, a low-profile wafer or trim head screw is the better pick.
6) How tough are these screws? Will the heads snap off in steel studs?
The JPDS1V is rated at 24 lb-in minimum torsional strength (34 kg/cm minimum) with a case hardness of HV 270 to 450, made from AISI 1018 steel. That is the normal spec band for light gauge steel framing work. Back off the clutch on an impact driver anyway, since over-torquing past the rated value is what strips heads.
7) Do these screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA-funded job?
The JPDS1V is flagged as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant in the manufacturer's data, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded project, have the mill or compliance certificate pulled for the specific lot you receive, since origin varies by production run.
8) I need a longer self-drilling framing screw than 7/16 inch. Can I get the same screw in other lengths?
The JPDS1V is the 6 x 7/16 inch size in the Metallics PDS series. Other sizes and quantities in the same pan head Phillips self-drilling line are available by request, so specify the diameter, length, and count you need.
9) How are the Metallics JPDS1V screws packaged and what is the smallest quantity I can order?
They come in a jar, 500 count minimum per order, at 1.32 lbs. The jar measures 3 x 2.7 x 3 inches, so it fits a tool pouch or a bin on the cart.
