Metallics JTTS18 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size are the Metallics JTTS18 screws?
A #8 diameter at 1/2 inch long. Short enough for sheet metal boxes, device covers, and strap work where a longer screw would bottom out or push through the back.
2) What driver do the Metallics JTTS18 tri-drive tapping screws take?
Three options on the same head. The JTTS18 pan head is cut for a slotted blade, a Phillips bit, or a square drive, so whatever is already in the pouch will turn it. That is useful on service calls where you are not carrying a full bit set.
3) Are the JTTS18 tapping screws suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
They are steel with a zinc plating, which handles general indoor and protected work. For continuous wet exposure, salt air, or direct weather, step up to a stainless fastener instead; zinc-plated steel will eventually corrode in those spots.
4) Do these screws need a pilot hole, or do they cut their own threads?
They are tapping screws, so they form their own threads in a pre-punched or drilled hole in sheet metal. They are not self-drilling, meaning there is no drill point on the tip; you still need a hole to start in solid stock.
5) Will a pan head sit flat against a cover plate, or do I need a flat head?
Pan head means a rounded top with a flat bearing underside that sits on the surface, not in it. It is the right choice when you are clamping a strap, bracket, or box ear and there is no countersink. If the part is countersunk and the head has to finish flush, you need a flat head screw instead.
6) How are the Metallics JTTS18 screws packaged for stocking a van or shop?
They come 100 to a jar, which is the format most electricians keep on the shelf or in a bin drawer. The jar keeps the count tidy rather than loose in a bag.
