Metallics QDS152 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size screw is the Metallics QDS152, and what drive does it take?
The QDS152 is a #8 diameter by 1/2 inch long sharp point tapping screw with a 1/4 inch hex head. The Quadrive head accepts four drivers: a 1/4 inch hex socket, a slotted bit, a Phillips bit, or a square bit. That means a crew with a nut driver and a crew with an impact driver and a square bit can both run the same box of screws.
2) Will the QDS152 sharp point screw bite into sheet metal, or do I need to pre-drill?
Sharp point is the key word. The QDS152 has a sharp point rather than a self-drilling drill point, so it starts in thin sheet, soft materials, and pre-punched or pre-drilled holes. For heavier gauge steel where the screw has to cut its own hole, you want a self-drilling (drill point) tapping screw instead.
3) Is the Metallics QDS152 OK for outdoor or damp electrical work?
It is steel with a zinc plating, which is a general indoor/protected-location finish. Zinc plated steel handles normal interior humidity fine, but in direct weather, wash-down areas, or coastal exposure it will corrode. For those locations specify a stainless or hot-dip galvanized fastener.
4) What is the Metallics QDS152 used for on an electrical job?
It is an electrical-trade tapping screw, the kind used for mounting boxes, straps, plates, brackets, and covers to sheet metal studs, panels, and enclosures. The 1/2 inch length is short, so it is meant for thin stacked material, not for anchoring into framing lumber.
5) Is the Metallics QDS152 made in the USA?
Yes. The QDS152 tapping screw is US-made, which matters when a job carries a domestic sourcing requirement on the submittal.
