Metallics JQK16 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to pre-drill a pilot hole for the Metallics JQK16 self-piercing screws?
No pilot hole is needed in light gauge material. The JQK16 is a sharp point self-piercing and tapping screw, so the point pierces 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 hundred of them off a cordless driver.
2) Is the JQK16 screw a #8 and how long is it?
It is a #8 diameter screw, 1-1/4 inch long, with 15 threads per inch. The undercut beneath the head gives you more usable thread engagement than the raw length suggests, so it holds well in thin sheet metal and box work.
3) What driver do I need for the Metallics JQK16 hex head screw?
A 1/4 inch hex nut driver or socket. The head is a hex measuring 0.244 to 0.25 inch across, with a head height of 0.096 to 0.11 inch. It is also slotted, with a slot width of 0.045 to 0.054 inch and depth of 0.052 to 0.074 inch, so a standard flat blade will back one out in a tight spot where a socket will not fit.
4) Will these zinc plated steel screws hold up in a damp mechanical room or outdoors?
The JQK16 is carbon steel with a zinc plated finish, built from AISI 1018 to 1022 steel and hardened to Rockwell C28-38. Zinc plating handles indoor and sheltered conditions fine. For constant wet exposure, salt air, or direct weather, step up to a stainless fastener instead.
5) Do these Metallics screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded project?
Metallics lists the JQK16 as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant. Country of origin is recorded as multiple, so if your contract requires a single named origin on the submittal, get origin confirmed for the lot you receive.
6) Can I use the JQK16 self-piercing screw in place of a standard sheet metal tapping screw?
Functionally yes in light gauge work, but check your hole and head clearance first. Metallics notes that head dimensions on self-piercing screws differ from standard tapping screws, and there is no single industry standard for self-piercing screw dimensions, so the published figures are a guide and some deviation can occur. If a fixture or knockout needs an exact head profile, measure before you commit a full jar.
7) Does the JQK16 come with a built in washer head?
Yes, the head carries an integral washer face with an outside diameter of 0.322 to 0.348 inch and a thickness of 0.019 to 0.031 inch. That spreads the bearing load over sheet metal and helps keep the head from pulling through thin stock.
8) How are the Metallics JQK16 screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum. Shipping weight on the jar is 0.63 lbs.
