Metallics SDS7B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Metallics SDS7B drywall screw go into steel studs without pre-drilling?
Yes. The SDS7B is a self-drilling and tapping screw with a drill point, so it cuts its own hole in metal framing rather than needing a pilot. The point and the Rockwell C44 hardness are what let it bore steel, and the stated field application covers wood, drywall, steel and aluminum.
2) Fine thread or coarse thread drywall screw for metal studs?
Fine thread is the one for metal studs, and that is what the SDS7B is: fine spacing at 15 threads per inch, UNF. Coarse thread screws are for wood studs, where the deeper thread bites into lumber. If your framing is light gauge steel, fine thread with a drill point is the correct pairing.
3) Do Metallics SDS7B drywall screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a federal job?
No. The SDS7B is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing requirements, you will need a domestically produced fastener instead.
4) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics SDS7B screws?
A #2 Phillips. The recess is a Phillips drive sized for a #2 driver, with a recess diameter of 0.176 to 0.201 inch and 0.124 inch depth. Three power bits ship with the box, so you are not buying bits separately to start the job.
5) Will a bugle head screw sit flush enough in drywall to tape and mud over?
That is what the bugle head is for. The tapered head pulls into the paper face without tearing it and seats below the surface for joint compound. Head width runs 0.315 to 0.363 inch with a head height of 0.020 to 0.039 inch, so the dimple it leaves is shallow and easy to fill.
6) How many Metallics SDS7B screws come in a box and can I buy a smaller quantity?
The SDS7B ships as a 2000 piece box, and 2000 each is the order minimum. Other sizes and quantities in the SDS and SDSB series are available by request if 2000 is more than the job needs.
7) Are these zinc plated screws okay for exterior or damp locations?
Treat the SDS7B as an interior fastener. It is AISI 1018 steel with a zinc plated finish, which handles normal dry interior framing and board work but is not a coating specified for weather exposure or wet service. For outdoor or high-moisture work, choose a fastener with a corrosion coating rated for it.
8) How much does a 2000 count box of these drywall screws weigh for shipping and handling on site?
The 2000 piece box of SDS7B screws is listed at 23 lbs, measuring 9 x 9 x 6.13 inches. That is a one-hand carton for a single trade, worth knowing if you are staging several boxes per floor.
9) Can I use these screws to fasten into aluminum trim or light aluminum framing?
Yes. The drill point on the SDS7B is rated for aluminum as well as steel, wood and drywall. The screw taps its own thread as it goes, so no separate pilot or tap step is needed in light aluminum.
10) Why do the head dimensions on these bugle head screws show a range instead of an exact figure?
Because there is no single industry standard for bugle head or drywall screw dimensions. Metallics publishes the head width as 0.315 to 0.363 inch and the head height as 0.020 to 0.039 inch as a guide, and slight deviations within those bands are normal production variation rather than a defect.
