Metallics JQK10V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to pre-drill for the Metallics JQK10V self-piercing screw?
No pre-drilling. The JQK10V is a sharp point self-piercing and tapping screw, so it pierces and forms its own thread in sheet metal as you drive it. Twin lead threads cut driving torque, and the undercut beneath the head gives you more thread engagement in the material.
2) What driver do I need for the JQK10V hex head screw?
A 1/4 inch hex driver or nut setter. The head is hex type measuring 0.244 to 0.25 inch across and 0.096 to 0.11 inch high, and it's also slotted (slot width 0.045 to 0.054 inch, depth 0.052 to 0.074 inch), so a flat blade works for hand driving or backing one out in tight quarters.
3) Do the Metallics JQK10V screws qualify for Buy American or ARRA-funded jobs?
Both the ARRA and Buy American compliance flags on the JQK10V are marked C (compliant). Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your spec requires documentation of a single origin for a given lot, request it with the order.
4) How many Metallics JQK10V screws come in a pack, and how are they packaged?
They ship in a jar of 500, which is also the order minimum (500 count). Packed weight is listed at 2.15 lbs.
5) Does the JQK10V have a built-in washer face, and how wide is it?
Yes, the hex head sits on an integral washer with a 0.322 to 0.348 inch outside diameter and 0.019 to 0.031 inch thickness. That extra bearing surface spreads the clamp load, which matters when you're fastening thin sheet or a bracket over an oversized hole.
6) Will a #8 x 3/4 in. self-piercing screw hold in sheet metal, or is it too hard and brittle?
The JQK10V is made from AISI 1018 to 1022 steel case hardened to Rockwell C28-38, which is what lets the point pierce and the thread tap sheet steel without the shank snapping. Thread pitch is 15 threads per inch, and the screw is a #8 diameter by 3/4 inch long.
7) Are these zinc screws OK for damp or outdoor electrical work?
The JQK10V is steel with a zinc finish, which gives corrosion resistance for general indoor and protected electrical work, boxes, strut, enclosures, and duct. Zinc plating is not a marine or sustained-wet coating, so for exterior exposure or washdown areas step up to a stainless or coated fastener.
8) Can I substitute a standard #8 tapping screw head dimension for the JQK10V when checking clearance?
No. Head dimensions on self-piercing screws differ from standard tapping screws, and there is no single industry standard for self-piercing screw dimensions, so published figures are a guide and deviations occur. Use the actual JQK10V numbers if clearance is tight: head width 0.244 to 0.25 inch, head height 0.096 to 0.11 inch, washer OD up to 0.348 inch.
9) I need a different length or a smaller quantity of these Metallics self-piercing screws. Is that possible?
The JQK series is offered in other sizes and quantities by request. The JQK10V itself is fixed at #8 x 3/4 inch in a 500 count jar.
