Metallics QK17W10M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the minimum order quantity on the Metallics QK17W10M self-piercing screws?
The QK17W10M ships in a box with an order minimum of 10,000 pieces. It is a bulk-box item, so plan it as a stocking buy for a crew or a job with a lot of repetitive fastening rather than a one-off handful.
2) Do I need to pre-drill before driving these Metallics sharp point self-piercing screws?
No pilot hole. These are sharp point self-piercing and tapping screws, so the point pierces thin material and the thread forms its own mating thread as it drives. Twin lead threads cut the driving torque, which matters when you are running hundreds of them overhead.
3) What driver do I need for the Metallics QK17W10M hex head screw?
It takes a 1/4 inch hex driver, and the head is also slotted so a flat blade works in tight spots a nut setter cannot reach. Head width runs 0.244 to 0.25 inch across the flats, head height 0.096 to 0.11 inch, with a slot 0.045 to 0.054 inch wide and 0.052 to 0.074 inch deep.
4) Does the QK17W10M screw have a built-in washer, and how much bearing surface does it give?
There is an integral washer under the hex head with an outside diameter of 0.322 to 0.348 inch and a thickness of 0.019 to 0.031 inch. That spread of bearing surface is what keeps the head from pulling through thin sheet or soft trim. The area beneath the head is undercut so more of the thread length engages the material.
5) Are the Metallics QK17W10M screws coated for corrosion, and can they be used outdoors?
They are zinc plated carbon steel with a white painted head. Zinc plating is a mild, largely interior-duty coating; for sustained exposure to weather or washdown, specify a heavier coating or stainless instead of this one.
6) Are Metallics self-piercing screws acceptable on a Buy American or ARRA funded project?
The QK17W10M is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your submittal package needs a single named origin, confirm the origin on the specific lot you receive.
7) Will a standard tapping screw head dimension chart match these self-piercing screws?
No. Head dimensions on self-piercing screws differ from standard tapping screws, and there is no single industry standard for self-piercing screw dimensions. Metallics publishes the head, slot and washer values as a guide, so treat them as nominal ranges rather than fixed dimensions when you are matching an existing hole or a pre-punched clip.
8) What thread pitch and hardness do these #8 self-piercing screws have?
Thread count is 15 per inch, and the screws are heat treated to Rockwell C28-38 from AISI 1018 to 1022 steel. That case hardness is what lets the point pierce metal without the tip rolling over.
