Metallics QDS153V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics QDS153V tapping screw?
The QDS153V has a 1/4 inch hex head with a Quadrive recess, so it takes a 1/4 inch hex driver or socket, and the recess also accepts hex, slotted, Phillips and square drivers. On a ladder with a cordless driver, most installers run the 1/4 hex socket since it will not cam out.
2) Will a #8 x 3/4 in. sharp point screw self-drill into steel studs?
No. The QDS153V is a sharp point tapping screw, not a self-drilling point. It bites into wood, drywall, plastic and thin sheet material without a pilot hole, but it will not cut its own hole in heavier gauge steel. For steel studs or structural sheet, use a self-drilling point screw instead.
3) Are these Metallics screws okay for damp or outdoor use?
The QDS153V is steel with a zinc plating, which handles indoor and dry or lightly damp conditions. Zinc plating is not a marine or sustained-wet coating, so for exterior exposure, treated lumber contact or coastal work, specify a stainless or hot-dip galvanized fastener.
4) Can I use these hex head screws for mounting electrical boxes and straps?
Yes, that is the usual job for them. The #8 x 3/4 inch hex head tapping screw is a standard electrical rough-in fastener for securing boxes, conduit straps, clamps and mounting plates to wood framing. The 1/4 inch hex head seats flat and drives fast with a socket, and the sharp point starts without pre-drilling.
5) What size is the Metallics QDS153V screw and what is the part number?
It is a #8 diameter by 3/4 inch long hex head Quadrive sharp point tapping screw from Metallics, part number QDS153V, in zinc plated steel. Made in the USA.
