Metallics WDS6M – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Metallics WDS6M wafer head screw self-drill into metal studs, or do I need to pre-drill?
No pre-drilling. The WDS6M is a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw with a drill point, so it cuts its own hole in light gauge steel framing as it drives. The stated panel thickness range it drills is 0.350 to 0.100 in.
2) Are Metallics WDS6M screws acceptable on a federally funded or Buy American job?
The WDS6M is flagged both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in the manufacturer data. Country of origin is listed as multiple.
3) What driver bit do I need for Metallics WDS6M drywall screws?
A #2 Phillips. The recess is 0.255 deep with a 0.176 to 0.189 diameter, which is standard #2 Phillips geometry. A power bit ships with the box, so you are not buying one separately.
4) Why use a wafer head screw instead of a bugle head for drywall over metal stud?
The wafer head is a broad, thin, flat-bearing head: 0.359 to 0.38 in. across and only 0.025 to 0.035 in. thick. That wide footprint holds sheet goods and track without pulling through, and the thin profile sits nearly flush so it does not telegraph. A bugle head is shaped to countersink itself into paper-faced gypsum instead. For drywall over light gauge steel where you want bearing area, the WDS6M wafer is the one to grab.
5) Will these screws snap when driven with an impact or screw gun?
The WDS6M carries a 42 lb-in minimum torsional strength and is heat treated to Rockwell C32-40 from AISI 1016-1024 steel. Metallics notes drill time of 2.5 seconds for a 1 mm thick plate. Set the gun clutch rather than driving hard against a stop and you stay inside that torque figure.
6) What thread does the WDS6M run, and will it hold in light gauge steel track?
18 threads per inch on a #8 diameter, conforming to SAE J78-2013 for self-drilling tapping screws. That fine thread is what taps and holds in the 0.100 to 0.350 in. steel it is rated to drill. In wood framing a coarse thread screw is the better choice.
7) How many Metallics WDS6M screws come in a box and what does it weigh?
Sold by the 1,000-count box, with 1,000 as the order minimum. A box weighs 8.7 lbs.
8) Is the zinc finish on these drywall screws OK for exterior or damp locations?
The WDS6M is zinc plated carbon steel, which is an interior, dry-location finish. For exterior, high humidity, or treated lumber contact, specify a stainless or coated exterior-rated self-drilling screw instead.
