Metallics SDS7M – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do the Metallics SDS7M drywall screws need a pre-drilled hole in metal studs?
No pre-drilling. The SDS7M is a self-drilling and tapping drywall screw with a drill point, so it bores and taps its own hole as it drives into steel framing. Fine thread spacing at 15 threads per inch is the metal-stud thread, not the coarse thread used for wood framing.
2) Are Metallics SDS7M drywall screws acceptable on a Buy American or ARRA funded project?
No. The SDS7M is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded job with domestic sourcing requirements, you will need a domestically produced fastener.
3) Should I use fine thread or coarse thread drywall screws for my job?
Fine thread, which is what the SDS7M is, goes into light gauge steel studs. Its drill point cuts the steel and the 15 TPI fine thread holds in thin metal. If you are hanging board on wood studs, a coarse thread screw with a sharp point is the right choice instead, since fine threads strip out of wood.
4) What driver bit do I need for the SDS7M bugle head screws?
A #2 Phillips. The recess is a Phillips drive with a recess diameter of 0.176 to 0.201 in. and 0.124 in. depth, which is standard #2 territory. A power bit ships with the box, so you are not buying one separately for the first run.
5) Will a bugle head drywall screw sit flush enough to tape and mud over?
Yes. The bugle head on the SDS7M is designed to seat into the paper face without tearing it, and the head height runs only 0.020 to 0.039 in. with a 0.315 to 0.363 in. head width, so it dimples below the board surface and takes joint compound cleanly.
6) How many SDS7M screws come in a box and can I buy a smaller quantity?
The SDS7M is boxed in thousands, with an order minimum of 1,000 pieces. A full box weighs 10.49 lbs. Metallics does make other sizes and quantities available by request if 1,000 of this length is not what the job needs.
7) Is the SDS7M screw hard enough to drill through steel studs without snapping the point?
The screw is case hardened to Rockwell C44 and made from AISI 1018 steel, which is the hardness range that lets a drill point cut light gauge steel framing instead of skating or shearing off. Finish is zinc plating over steel.
8) Can electrical and HVAC trades use these drywall screws for mounting, not just hanging board?
Yes, Metallics lists the SDS7M for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. The self-drilling point and zinc plated steel body make it a general fastener for light gauge metal in those applications, with the fine 15 TPI thread biting into sheet steel.
9) Are the published head and recess dimensions on these bugle head screws exact?
Treat them as a guide. There is no single industry standard for bugle head or drywall screw dimensions, so Metallics publishes the head height, head width, and Phillips recess figures as nominal ranges and slight deviations are acceptable. If you are matching a specific countersink or an automatic driver, allow for that tolerance.
