Metallics WDS4M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics WDS4M wafer head screw drill into steel studs without pre-drilling?
Yes. The WDS4M is a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw with a drill point, so it cuts its own hole in metal stud flange without a pilot. Metallics rates the panel thickness range at 0.350 to 0.100 in. Drill time is about 2.5 seconds through a 1 mm plate, and the thread count is 18 per inch.
2) Do the Metallics WDS4M drywall screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA-funded project?
No. The WDS4M is listed as not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, so it will not satisfy domestic-content requirements on federally funded work. Specify a domestically produced self-drilling screw for those jobs.
3) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics WDS4M screws, and is one included?
A #2 Phillips bit drives them, and a free power bit ships with the box, so a crew can open it and go. The Phillips recess is 0.255 in. deep and 0.176 to 0.189 in. in diameter.
4) How many Metallics WDS4M screws come in a box?
They are boxed in 1000-piece quantities, which is the order minimum. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request.
5) Will a #8 x 1-1/4 in. self-drilling screw strip or snap when run with an impact driver?
The WDS4M carries a minimum torsional strength of 42 lb-in and a case hardness of Rockwell C32-40, made from AISI 1016-1024 steel to the SAE J78-2013 thread standard. That is the published limit, so set your clutch rather than relying on an impact's full output. Metallics notes minimum torques are the same for stainless and steel self-drill screws.
6) Are Metallics WDS4M screws suitable for exterior or wet locations?
They are steel with a zinc finish, which is a dry interior coating. For outdoor, damp or corrosive locations choose a stainless self-drilling screw instead. Country of origin is listed as multiple.
7) How much does a box of 1000 Metallics WDS4M screws weigh?
The box is listed at 6.73 lbs, with carton dimensions of 7.25 x 4.5 x 4.5 in. Useful if you are staging material by floor or shipping a pallet of boxes to a job site.
