Metallics QDS152V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What driver do I need for the Metallics QDS152V tapping screws?
The QDS152V takes a 1/4 inch hex head, so a 1/4 inch magnetic hex driver in a drill or impact is the fastest way to run them. The Quadrive head also accepts a hex, slotted, Phillips or square driver, so you can back one out with whatever is on the belt if you cannot reach it with a nut setter.
2) What size is a Metallics QDS152V screw?
It is a #8 diameter screw with a 1/2 inch length. That short length is meant for sheet metal, strut, and light-gauge work where a longer screw would bottom out or poke through behind the material.
3) Will the QDS152V sharp point screw drill through steel studs on its own?
No. It is a sharp point tapping screw, not a self-drilling screw with a drill tip. It will pierce thin sheet metal and light-gauge material, but for heavier gauge steel you want a self-drilling point instead of this sharp point.
4) Are these zinc screws OK for outdoor or damp electrical work?
The QDS152V is steel with a zinc plating, which is a dry-location, indoor-duty finish. It handles normal interior humidity fine, but for exposed exterior runs or wet locations you should move to a stainless or hot-dip galvanized fastener.
5) What do electricians use #8 x 1/2 in. hex head tapping screws for?
They are the standard mounting screw for electrical rough-in: attaching device boxes and box brackets, fastening cover plates and enclosures to sheet metal, mounting straps and clamps to strut and light-gauge steel. The 1/2 inch length keeps the point from protruding inside a box or raceway.
6) Is the Metallics QDS152V made in the USA?
Yes, the QDS152V hex head Quadrive tapping screw is made in the USA, which matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic-sourcing requirements.
7) What part number do I order for the Metallics 8 x 1/2 in. hex head Quadrive screw?
Order Metallics MPN QDS152V. That number covers the #8 diameter, 1/2 inch long, 1/4 inch hex head Quadrive sharp point tapping screw in steel zinc.
