Metallics TEKD15M – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What metal thickness can the Metallics TEKD15M #8 self-drilling screw drill through?
The TEKD15M is rated for panel thicknesses of 0.035 to 0.100 inch, which covers roughly 20 through 12 gauge sheet steel. Its #2 drill point cuts its own hole, so no pilot drilling is needed in that range. Go thicker than 0.100 inch and you want a larger drill point designation, not this one.
2) What driver do I need for the Metallics TEKD15M hex head screw?
It takes a 1/4 inch hex driver. The indented hex washer head measures 0.244 to 0.25 inch across the flats and 0.272 inch across corners, so a standard 1/4 inch magnetic nut setter in a screw gun seats it cleanly. No bit tip, no Phillips.
3) Do the Metallics TEKD15M screws come with a sealing washer or just a washer head?
The washer is part of the head, not a separate neoprene or bonded seal. It is an indented hex washer head with an integral washer 0.322 to 0.348 inch in outside diameter and 0.019 to 0.031 inch thick, which spreads bearing load over the sheet. It is not a weatherproofing washer, so for exterior panel work you still need a separate sealing washer.
4) Will zinc plated steel self-drilling screws hold up outdoors?
These are zinc plated carbon steel, AISI 1016 to 1024. Zinc plating is an indoor and protected-location finish. For exterior, damp, coastal, or corrosive environments, specify stainless self-drilling screws instead of the zinc version.
5) Are these screws sold individually or do I have to buy a full box?
The TEKD15M ships as a box with an order minimum of 5000 pieces. It is a bulk MRO and jobsite quantity, not a small retail card. Other sizes and quantities can be had by request.
6) Do these Metallics drill screws qualify for Buy American or ARRA funded projects?
Metallics lists the TEKD15M as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, with country of origin recorded as multiple. On federally funded work, pass those compliance codes to your specifier with the submittal.
7) What thread pitch and standard do the Metallics JTEKD #8 drill screws meet?
18 threads per inch on a #8 diameter, made to SAE J78 - 2013 for the thread and point and ASME B18.6.3-2010 for head dimensions. Hardness runs Rockwell C32-40 with a minimum torsional strength of 42 lb-in, which is what lets the point cut steel without snapping the shank.
8) How fast do self-drilling TEK screws drive, and does stainless change the torque I set?
Metallics states drill time at 2.5 seconds through a 1 mm thick plate, and that minimum torques are the same for stainless and steel self-drill screws. So your gun clutch setting does not need changing when you switch material, but let the point do the cutting rather than leaning on it.
9) What is the head height on a #8 indented hex washer head screw, and will it sit flush under a cover plate?
Head height is 0.096 to 0.11 inch, so it stands roughly an eighth of an inch above the sheet plus the washer flange out to 0.348 inch diameter. That is a raised head, not flush. If you need a plate or trim to sit tight against the panel, use a flat or pan head drill screw instead.
