Metallics WDS2B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What metal thickness will the Metallics WDS2B self-drilling drywall screw drill through?
The WDS2B is a Type BSD self-drilling and self-tapping screw with a drill point, rated for panel thickness of 0.350 to 0.100 in. It cuts its own hole, so no pilot drilling is needed in that range. Metallics notes a drill time of about 2.5 seconds through a 1 mm thick plate.
2) Can I use the Metallics WDS2B on a federally funded or Buy American project?
No. The WDS2B is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. For a job with domestic sourcing requirements you need a domestically produced self-drilling screw instead.
3) What size Phillips driver bit do these Metallics wafer head screws take, and do I need to buy bits?
They drive with a #2 Phillips bit, and three power bits ship with the box, so no separate bit purchase is required to start. The recess is 0.255 in. deep with a 0.176 to 0.189 in. diameter, which is standard #2 geometry, so worn #2 bits will cam out before the screw fails.
4) How is the WDS2B sold, and what is the minimum order?
Sold in a box with a 10,000 piece minimum order, each. The box weighs 55 lbs. That quantity suits a job-lot or MRO stocking buy rather than a single repair.
5) Why use a wafer head instead of a bugle or pan head screw on metal framing?
A wafer head is a wide, low-profile flat head, 0.359 to 0.38 in. across the top and only 0.025 to 0.035 in. thick. That spreads bearing load on thin material without the head standing proud, so a second layer or a finish panel can lay over it. A bugle head is shaped to self-countersink in gypsum paper; a pan head sits higher. For strapping, clips, track, and bracket work on light-gauge steel, the wafer is the one that stays out of the way.
6) Are Metallics WDS2B screws strong enough not to snap when driven with an impact or screw gun?
Minimum torsional strength is 42 lb-in, with case hardness at Rockwell C32-40, made from AISI 1016 to 1024 steel. That is enough to drill and tap light-gauge steel, but torque control still matters: run them with a depth-sensitive screw gun rather than an impact at full trigger, since exceeding the torque rating is what shears a self-driller's shank.
7) What thread and finish do these #8 self-drilling screws have, and will zinc plating hold up outdoors?
Thread is 18 threads per inch, UNF type, to SAE J78 - 2013, on a steel body with a zinc finish. Zinc plating is an indoor and protected-location coating; for exterior or damp exposure, specify a stainless or coated exterior-rated self-driller rather than plain zinc.
