Metallics JTTS24 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver bit does the Metallics JTTS24 tri-drive tapping screw take?
The JTTS24 has a tri-drive pan head, meaning the same head accepts a slotted blade, a Phillips bit, or a square (Robertson) bit. On a service call that means one screw works with whatever driver is already in the pouch, and a stripped Phillips recess can usually still be backed out with a flat blade or square bit.
2) Are the JTTS24 screws okay for damp or exterior electrical work?
They are steel with a zinc plating, which is a dry-location and general indoor finish. Zinc plating gives light corrosion resistance but it is not stainless, so for wet locations, coastal air, or direct weather exposure a stainless fastener is the better call.
3) Why pick a pan head screw instead of a flat or round head for mounting electrical boxes?
A pan head seats flat on the surface without needing a countersink, and the broad bearing face spreads load across sheet metal or a mounting strap instead of pulling through it. Flat heads need a countersunk hole to sit flush, which is extra work on a box flange or bracket. That is why the #8 x 2 in. JTTS24 ships with a pan head.
4) Are Metallics tri-drive tapping screws made in the USA?
Yes, the #8 x 2 in. pan head tri-drive tapping screw is made in the USA. That matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic-content requirements on fasteners.
5) Do I need to drill a pilot hole for these tapping screws?
These are tapping screws, so the thread cuts or forms its own mating thread as it drives. In wood and soft substrates they go straight in; in sheet metal you still want a properly sized pilot hole so the #8 thread can form rather than strip. They are not self-drilling, so there is no drill point on the tip to make its own hole in steel.
6) How do the Metallics JTTS24 screws come packaged?
They are supplied in a jar, 100 screws per jar, in #8 x 2 inch. The jar format is what keeps them sorted on a van shelf or in a shop bin rather than loose in a tray.
7) What part number do I order for the #8 x 2 inch Metallics tri-drive pan head screw?
Order Metallics JTTS24. That is the single model covering the #8 diameter, 2 inch length pan head tri-drive tapping screw in steel zinc.
