Metallics JQK17GR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to pre-drill for the Metallics JQK17GR self-piercing screw?
No pilot hole needed in light-gauge material. The JQK17GR is a sharp point self-piercing and tapping screw, so the point pierces the metal and the twin lead threads cut their own thread as you drive. The twin lead design also cuts driving torque, which matters when you are running a lot of them overhead off a cordless driver.
2) Is the JQK17GR an #8 by 1-1/2 inch screw, and what is the thread count?
Yes, it is an 8 diameter screw, 1-1/2 inches long, with 15 threads per inch. That length gives you reach through strapping, furring, or stacked light-gauge material rather than just a single thin skin.
3) What driver do I need for the JQK17GR screw, a hex socket or a screwdriver?
Either. The head is a 1/4 inch hex with a slotted drive across the top, so you can run it with a 1/4 inch hex driver bit or back it out with a flat blade screwdriver. Measured head width is 0.244 to 0.25 inch and head height 0.096 to 0.11 inch.
4) Does this Metallics screw come with a sealing washer under the head?
There is an integral washer face under the hex head, 0.322 to 0.348 inch outside diameter and 0.019 to 0.031 inch thick. It spreads bearing load on sheet metal but it is a steel washer face, not a rubber or EPDM seal, so it is not a weatherproofing washer for exterior roof panels.
5) How is the JQK17GR packaged and what is the minimum I can buy?
It ships in a jar, 100 count minimum. Handy for a service van or a shop shelf rather than a loose bag. Shipping weight on the jar is 0.71 lbs.
6) Will these gray screws rust if used in a damp basement or mechanical room?
The JQK17GR is zinc plated steel with a gray head, which handles normal interior and damp interior service. Zinc plating is not a marine or sustained exterior coating, so for coastal or constantly wet exposure step up to a stainless or coated exterior fastener.
7) How hard are these screws, and will they tap into 16 gauge steel stud?
Case hardness is Rockwell C28-38 on AISI 1018-1022 steel, which is a case hardened carbon steel tapping screw. That is built for piercing and tapping light-gauge sheet and studs. For structural thickness steel you want a self-drilling point with a drill flute rather than a sharp piercing point.
8) Do the Metallics JQK17GR screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
The record flags the JQK17GR as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, with country of origin China. On a federally funded project confirm which clause your contract runs under, because the sourcing and the compliance flag need to agree.
9) What does the undercut under the head of the JQK17GR actually do for me?
The undercut area beneath the head gives you more usable thread length, so more of the 1-1/2 inch shank is engaging material instead of running out at the head. On thin stock that translates to better pull-out holding with the same screw length.
