Metallics TS22B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a Type A tapping screw like the Metallics TS22B actually fasten into?
Type A is the sheet metal tapping thread, and the TS22B has a gimlet (sharp) point with 15 threads per inch. That combination is made to pierce and form its own thread in thin sheet metal, sheet steel boxes, and similar light gauge material without a pre-tapped hole. It is not a machine screw thread, so it will not run into a tapped or threaded hole, and it is not a self-drilling point, so heavy plate needs a pilot hole.
2) Can I use the Metallics TS22B on a federal or Buy American job?
No. The TS22B is marked not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, you need a domestically produced fastener instead.
3) What size Phillips driver do I need for the Metallics TS22B #8 screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess is 0.169 to 0.182 inch in diameter and 0.108 inch deep, which is standard #2 geometry, so a #1 bit will cam out and a #3 will not seat. Worth having good bits on hand if you are running through a box of 1500.
4) How many Metallics TS22B screws come in a box?
They ship as a box of 1500. The TS22B is the #8 x 1-1/4 inch pan head Phillips sharp point in zinc plated steel, so a single box covers a lot of device and box mounting on a build.
5) Will the pan head on these #8 tapping screws sit flush or stand proud?
It stands proud. A pan head bears on the surface rather than countersinking, with a head width of 0.306 to 0.322 inch and a head height of 0.105 to 0.115 inch on the TS22B. If you need the fastener to finish flush with the material, you want a flat head countersunk screw instead.
6) Are these zinc plated screws OK for outdoor or damp locations?
The TS22B is zinc plated carbon steel, which is a mild indoor corrosion coating. It holds up in dry interior work and protected locations, but direct weather exposure, wet locations, or coastal air will eventually rust it. For those, specify stainless steel rather than zinc plated steel.
7) Do these Metallics tapping screws meet a dimensional standard I can put on a submittal?
Yes. The head and recess dimensions conform to ASME B18.6.3-2013 and the thread conforms to ASME B18.6.4, with material to AISI 1016 to 1024. One caveat for spec work: Metallics notes that dimensions for its #9 diameter are independent of ASME B18.6.4, which does not affect the #8 TS22B.
8) Is the Metallics TS22B available in other lengths or smaller quantities?
The TS22B itself is the #8 diameter by 1-1/4 inch long version, supplied in a 1500 piece box. Metallics states other sizes and quantities are available by request, so if you need a shorter or longer #8 tapping screw or a smaller pack, ask for it by size rather than assuming this part number covers it.
