Metallics RDS7M316SS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Metallics RDS7M316SS deck screw be used on a coastal or poolside deck?
That is what the 316 stainless material is for. 316 stainless holds up in salt air and chlorine exposure better than 304 or plated carbon steel, and these screws also carry a green ceramic coating intended to withstand a 500 hour salt-spray test. For oceanfront or pool decking, this is the material you want.
2) Do I have to pre-drill for these 2 inch deck screws?
The Type 17 point is a self-drilling notched point that cuts its own pilot in wood, so for most softwood decking you can drive them straight in without pre-drilling. Near board ends or in dense hardwood, pre-drilling is still the safer practice to avoid splitting.
3) Do these stainless deck screws meet Buy American requirements for a government job?
No. The RDS7M316SS is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with a multiple-origin country of manufacture. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, this fastener will not satisfy it.
4) What driver bit do I need for these square drive deck screws?
A #2 square (Robertson) bit. The recess measures 0.110 to 0.113 in. wide and 0.064 to 0.075 in. deep. Square drive is used here because it transmits torque well and resists cam-out when you are driving a lot of screws from a ladder or on your knees.
5) Does the bugle head on these screws sit flush with the decking?
It does. A bugle head has a flared taper that pulls itself down into wood and seats flush or slightly below the surface without a countersink, so there is nothing standing up to catch a bare foot. Head width runs 0.315 to 0.363 in. and head height 0.020 to 0.039 in.
6) What is the minimum order quantity on the RDS7M316SS deck screws?
They ship by the box with a 1,000 piece minimum. Plan the buy in full thousands, which for a typical face-screwed deck at two screws per joist crossing covers a fair amount of square footage in one box.
7) Can I use these screws on pressure treated lumber without the fasteners corroding?
Yes. Modern ACQ and copper-based treated lumber is aggressive toward plain and electro-plated steel fasteners, and 316 stainless is at the top of the compatibility list for that service. The 500 hour salt-spray ceramic coating is an added layer on top of the stainless base.
8) Are the Metallics RDS screws coarse thread or fine thread?
Coarse, UNC, at 8 to 10 threads per inch. Coarse thread is what you want in wood and composite decking because the deeper thread bites and holds in soft material. Fine thread screws are for metal and would strip out in a deck board.
