Metallics JTS21M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics JTS21M a self-tapping screw for sheet metal, or does it need a pilot hole?
The JTS21M is a Type A tapping screw with a gimlet (sharp) point, so it starts its own thread in sheet metal and light gauge material without tapping. A pilot hole sized to the material is still normal practice in heavier stock, but the sharp point is what lets it bite and pull itself in on thin sheet. Thread count is 15 threads per inch to the ASME B18.6.4 thread standard.
2) Are the Metallics JTS21M screws sold individually or only by the box?
They ship in a jar, with an order minimum of 1,000 pieces. This is a bulk fastener for stocking a truck or a shop crib, not a one-off item, and the jar weighs 5.09 lbs.
3) Do these Metallics screws meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public project?
The JTS21M is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American in the manufacturer data. Country of origin is listed as China, so if your specification requires domestic melt and manufacture rather than the broader compliance flag, verify against your project's exact clause before you submit.
4) What size Phillips driver do I need for the Metallics JTS21M #8 screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The pan head carries a Phillips recess 0.169 to 0.182 inch in diameter and 0.108 inch deep, which is what a #2 tip is cut for. Running a #1 will cam out and chew the recess.
5) How much head clearance does a #8 pan head screw take up on the surface?
The pan head on the JTS21M stands 0.105 to 0.115 inch above the surface and spans 0.306 to 0.322 inch across. That matters where a cover plate, bracket, or trim ring has to sit flat over the fastener, a pan head does not countersink and will not sit flush.
6) Will these Metallics tapping screws rust in a damp mechanical room?
The JTS21M is carbon steel with a zinc finish, made from AISI 1016 to 1024 steel. Zinc plating handles indoor and protected conditions fine, but it is not a stainless or hot dip coating, so for direct weather exposure, wet locations, or coastal air you want a stainless or hot dip galvanized fastener instead.
7) What dimensional standard do these pan head tapping screws conform to?
Head geometry on the JTS21M follows ASME B18.6.3-2013 and the thread follows ASME B18.6.4. If your submittal calls out a B18.6.3 pan head Phillips tapping screw in #8 x 1 inch, this answers it. One caveat from the manufacturer: dimensions for #9 diameter screws in this family fall outside B18.6.4.
