Metallics JGDS4 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics JGDS4 deck screws, and does one come in the jar?
You'll need a #2 Phillips bit. No bit is packed with the screws, so add one to the order if your crew doesn't already have #2 Phillips tips on the truck.
2) Will a #8 x 2-1/2 in. deck screw hold when fastening into pressure treated framing outdoors?
The JGDS4 is a coarse thread #8 deck screw at 2-1/2 inches long, finished in yellow zinc dichromate over steel, and Metallics lists it for all weather wood applications. Coarse threads are what you want in softwood and treated framing; the zinc dichromate coating is a corrosion coating, not stainless, so for coastal or constantly wet exposure a stainless screw is the better call.
3) Do these Metallics screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a government job?
No. The JGDS4 deck screw is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this isn't the fastener for it.
4) Will a flat head Phillips deck screw sit flush so I can mount a plate or bracket over it?
Yes. The JGDS4 has a flat countersunk head, so it seats flush with or below the wood surface and won't hold a strap, plate, or box off the framing. If you need the head to bear on top of sheet material without pulling through, a pan or washer head is the better choice.
5) How are the Metallics JGDS4 screws packaged and what is the minimum I can buy?
They come in a jar of 100, and 100 is the order minimum. Jar weight is 0.96 lbs. Other lengths and pack quantities in the JGDS series are available by request.
6) Is the JGDS4 a coarse or fine thread screw, and does that matter for what I'm fastening into?
Coarse, UNC thread. Coarse threads cut and hold in wood and other soft material; if you're threading into sheet metal or a tapped metal part, a fine thread fastener is what you want instead.
