Metallics JTS42 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Type A tapping screw like the Metallics JTS42 used for?
The JTS42 is a Type A tapping screw, meaning it has a gimlet (sharp) point and a coarse 19 threads-per-inch thread that cuts its own thread as it drives into sheet metal. It is intended for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, so typical work is fastening into light-gauge metal boxes, straps, duct and enclosures where there is no pre-tapped hole. The sharp point needs a pilot or a thin-gauge material it can start in; it is not a self-drilling screw, so it will not punch its own hole in heavy steel.
2) Are Metallics JTS42 screws acceptable on a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. The JTS42 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, you will need a domestically produced fastener instead.
3) What size Phillips bit do I need for the JTS42 screws?
A #2 Phillips driver. The recess on the #7 x 3/4 in. pan head is 0.163 to 0.176 in. in diameter with a 0.100 in. depth, which is the standard #2 recess size. A #1 bit will cam out and chew the recess; a #3 will not seat.
4) Can I buy Metallics JTS42 screws in a smaller count than 100?
No. The JTS42 ships as a jar of 100, which is the order minimum. Other sizes and quantities are available by request, but the standard pack is the 100-piece jar.
5) Will these zinc plated steel tapping screws hold up outdoors?
The JTS42 is carbon steel with a zinc finish, made from AISI 1016 to 1024 steel. Zinc plating is a mild, indoor-duty coating: fine for boxes, panels and interior duct work, but it will corrode in sustained wet or exterior exposure. For outdoor or damp locations, specify a stainless or hot-dip galvanized tapping screw instead.
6) What standards do Metallics JTS tapping screws conform to?
Head and recess dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2013, and the thread form follows ASME B18.6.4. One caveat worth knowing across the JTS series: dimensions for the #9 diameter are independent of ASME B18.6.4.
7) How heavy is a jar of 100 Metallics JTS42 screws?
The 100-count jar weighs 0.39 lbs. Handy if you are building out a van stock list or batching small parts for a job box.
