Metallics JTEK15PV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What metal thickness can the Metallics JTEK15PV self-drilling screw drill through?
The #2 drill point on the JTEK15PV is rated for panel thickness of 0.035 to 0.100 inch. That covers roughly 20 through 12 gauge sheet steel, so it handles light-gauge studs, strut, enclosures and duct. Thicker structural steel needs a larger drill point size.
2) Is 1-1/2 inches too long for fastening to light sheet metal?
It can be. At 1-1/2 inches the JTEK15PV leaves a lot of thread past a 0.035 to 0.100 inch panel, which is fine when you are standing off a bracket, strut, or box with some material to pick up, but the excess shank will protrude behind a bare sheet. For skin-to-skin sheet metal work, a shorter #8 self-drilling screw in the same #2 drill point is the better pick.
3) Do I need a pilot hole for these #8 self-drilling screws?
No. The JTEK15PV is a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw, meaning the drill point cuts its own hole and the threads tap it in one pass. Drive it straight into the panel with steady pressure, no pre-drilling.
4) What size driver bit do these Phillips pan head screws take?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess diameter is 0.175 inch with a gaging depth of 0.071 to 0.097 inch, so a standard #2 Phillips insert bit seats fully. A worn or #1 bit will cam out and strip the recess.
5) How much does the pan head stick up, and will it clear a cover plate?
Head height runs 0.105 to 0.115 inch with a head width of 0.306 to 0.322 inch. That is a low-profile pan head, so it clears most device plates and panel covers, but it is not a flush fastener. If you need the head below the surface, use a flat head in a countersunk hole instead.
6) Are these zinc screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The JTEK15PV is steel with a zinc finish, which is a dry-location, indoor-duty plating. For exterior, wet, or corrosive environments, go to a stainless self-drilling screw of the same #8 diameter instead of zinc-plated steel.
7) Will these screws meet Buy American requirements on a government job?
Metallics lists the JTEK15PV as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant. Country of origin is recorded as multiple.
8) How many Metallics JTEK15PV screws come in a jar?
They ship 500 count per jar, and 500 is the order minimum. Plan quantities in full jars.
9) What thread does the #8 x 1-1/2 in. self-drilling screw have, and what standard does it meet?
18 threads per inch, UNC thread form, built to SAE J78-2013 for the thread and ASME B18.6.3-2010 for the head dimensions. Minimum torsional strength is 42 lb-in, and hardness is Rockwell C32-40.
