Metallics JTEKD114V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a #8 self-drilling screw hold in exterior or damp locations?
The JTEKD114V is carbon steel with a zinc finish, built from AISI 1016-1024 steel. Zinc plating handles dry indoor and protected locations. For sustained outdoor exposure, washdown areas, or treated lumber contact, move to a stainless or a coated exterior-rated drill screw instead.
2) Do these Metallics drill screws meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public project?
The JTEKD114V is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American. Country of origin is China. On a federally funded job, check which clause your contract actually invokes, since Buy American Act treatment and a strict domestic-manufacture clause are not the same test.
3) Is a 1-1/4 inch screw long enough for hanging strut or boxes to metal studs?
At 1-1/4 inches the JTEKD114V gives enough reach for mounting through a channel, clip, or box flange into light-gauge studs or sheet steel. What limits it is the drill point, not the length: the material it drills through is capped at 0.100 inch. For thicker base metal or deeper stack-ups, step up to a heavier point size.
4) What driver do I need for the Metallics JTEKD114V hex head screw?
It takes a 1/4 inch hex driver. The indented hex head measures 0.244 to 0.25 inch across the flats, 0.272 inch across corners, with a head height of 0.096 to 0.11 inch, so a standard 1/4 inch magnetic nut setter in a screw gun seats it fine.
5) Does the JTEKD114V screw come with a washer, and how big is it?
An integral washer is part of the head. Washer outside diameter runs 0.322 to 0.348 inch with a thickness of 0.019 to 0.031 inch, so it spreads bearing load over thin sheet and soft materials without a separate loose washer to handle overhead.
6) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JTEKD114V?
They ship in a jar with a 500 count order minimum, which is the standard buy for this item. The jar weighs 1.8 lbs.
7) What is the thread count and how much torque will the JTEKD114V take before it snaps?
18 threads per inch on a #8 diameter, 1-1/4 inch long screw, with a minimum torsional strength of 42 lb-in. Case hardness is Rockwell C32-40. Set your gun clutch rather than running it at full impact; 42 lb-in is where failure begins, not a working target.
8) What standards does the Metallics JTEKD114V self-drilling screw conform to?
Dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2010 and the threads follow SAE J78-2013, which is the self-drilling tapping screw spec. If your submittal calls for a J78 Type BSD drill screw, this is that item.
9) Do I need to pre-drill a pilot hole for these screws?
No. The Type BSD design has a drill point that cuts its own hole and taps the thread in one pass through sheet metal within the 0.035 to 0.100 inch range, so there is no separate pilot step. Steady pressure matters more than speed; let the point bite before leaning on it.
