Metallics JTEK1PV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What metal thickness can the Metallics JTEK1PV self-drilling screw drill through?
The #2 drill point on the JTEK1PV is rated for panel thickness of 0.035 to 0.100 inch, so it handles light-gauge steel like studs, strut, enclosure walls and channel. Thicker base metal needs a heavier drill point, and anything thinner than 0.035 inch risks the threads stripping rather than tapping.
2) Do I need to pre-drill a pilot hole for these #8 x 1/2 in. self-drilling screws?
No pilot hole. The JTEK1PV is a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw, meaning the drill point cuts its own hole and the 18 threads-per-inch UNC thread taps it in one pass, as long as the base metal falls in the 0.035 to 0.100 inch range.
3) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JTEK1PV screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. The recess diameter is 0.175 inch with a gaging depth of 0.071 to 0.097 inch, so a #2 seats fully; a #1 will cam out and chew the recess under drilling torque.
4) Will a #8 x 1/2 in. pan head screw head fit inside a strut nut or sit flush against a bracket?
The pan head measures 0.306 to 0.322 inch across and 0.105 to 0.115 inch high, dimensioned to ASME B18.6.3-2010. That is a low-profile head with a broad bearing surface, so it clamps sheet metal and brackets without pulling through, but it does sit proud of the surface, it is not a flush or countersunk head.
5) Do Metallics JTEK1PV screws meet Buy American requirements for a federally funded job?
Both the Buy American and ARRA compliance flags on the JTEK1PV read compliant. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your contract requires a single named origin on the submittal, ask before you spec it.
6) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JTEK1PV?
They ship in a jar with a 500-count order minimum, weighing 1.65 lbs. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
7) Which standard are these #8 self-drilling screw threads made to?
Threads are UNC at 18 per inch, built to SAE J78 - 2013, with head geometry to ASME B18.6.3-2010. If a drawing calls out SAE J78 drill screws, the JTEK1PV answers it in #8 diameter. Worth knowing: SAE J78 carries no specification for #7 diameter drill screws, so a #7 callout cannot be matched to that standard.
