Metallics GDS55B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many Metallics GDS55B deck screws come in a box, and can I buy a smaller quantity?
The GDS55B is sold in a box with a 5,000-piece order minimum, so that is the smallest quantity on this model. Metallics does offer other sizes and quantities in the GDS deck screw line by request if 5,000 of the #8 x 3 inch is more than you need.
2) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics GDS55B deck screws?
Phillips drive, #2 driver size. A standard #2 Phillips bit in a drill or impact driver runs them. Note the kit component listed with the box is a #1 drive power bit, so plan on your own #2 bits for production work.
3) Are yellow zinc deck screws like the GDS55B okay for outdoor pressure-treated decking?
The GDS55B is steel with a yellow zinc dichromate finish. That coating is a light corrosion-resistant plating, not a hot-dip or ceramic coating, so it suits dry or covered framing, interior work, and general fastening far better than it suits sustained ground contact or direct weather exposure on treated lumber. For an exposed deck surface in treated wood, specify a coated or stainless exterior deck screw instead.
4) Do the Metallics GDS55B screws meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public project?
Both flags are marked compliant on the GDS55B, which is what a government, school, or municipal procurement file usually needs on a fastener line item. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your specification requires a single named origin, confirm the origin on the lot you receive.
5) What is the difference between coarse and fine thread on a #8 x 3 in. screw like the GDS55B?
The GDS55B is coarse thread, UNC spacing. Coarse thread cuts and grips in softer material (wood, composite, soft sheet) with fewer turns and less risk of stripping the hole. Fine thread is what you want in harder or thinner metal where you need more threads engaged in a shallow section. For deck, framing, and general wood fastening, coarse is the right call.
6) Will a flat head Phillips deck screw sit flush, or do I have to counterbore?
Flat head means the head is tapered to seat flush in the countersink it cuts for itself in wood, so no pre-counterboring in softwood. In hardwood or composite, pre-drill and countersink to keep the head from mushrooming the surface or cam-ing out the #2 Phillips recess.
7) How much does a box of 5,000 Metallics GDS55B screws weigh and how big is the carton?
Shipping weight is 29 lbs for the box. Carton measures 11.5 in length, 11.5 in width, 10.75 in height. Useful if you are staging multiple boxes on a job cart or figuring pallet counts for a bulk MRO order.
