Metallics RDS4M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many Metallics RDS4M deck screws come in a box?
The RDS4M ships as a box of 1,000 screws, and 1,000 is also the order minimum. The boxed quantity weighs 10.42 lbs. Each box also includes free #1 square drive power bits.
2) Will these Metallics deck screws hold up outdoors or near salt air?
The RDS4M carries a green ceramic all-weather coating over zinc that is intended to withstand a 500 hour salt-spray test, so it is built for exterior and coastal-exposure work rather than dry interior use.
3) Do I need a separate driver bit for these square drive deck screws?
No. A #1 square drive power bit is included with the RDS4M, and three free bits ship with the box. The head is a bugle with a square recess, so a Phillips bit will cam out, use the square bit or your own #1 square driver.
4) Do #9 x 2-1/2 in. deck screws need a pilot hole in decking?
The RDS4M has a Type 17 point, which is the auger-style cut point that self-drills and clears chips as it enters, so pilot holes generally are not needed in softwood decking. Coarse UNC threading is matched to wood and composite framing rather than metal.
5) Are Metallics RDS4M deck screws Buy American and ARRA compliant for a government job?
The RDS4M is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA purposing. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so on a federally funded spec confirm the origin documentation that ships with the box matches your contract language.
6) Can electricians and HVAC crews use these deck screws for mounting, not just decking?
Yes, Metallics lists the RDS4M field application as the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. The coarse thread and bugle head suit fastening into wood blocking and framing, mounting backer boards, straps, and equipment supports. The bugle head seats flush in wood but does not bear well on sheet metal or thin brackets.
7) What are Metallics RDS deck screws made of?
The screw body is AISI 1080 carbon steel with the all-weather ceramic coating over zinc providing the corrosion protection. Carbon steel gives the drive strength for a Type 17 point, but it is not stainless, so for direct contact with ACQ-treated lumber in standing-water conditions a stainless fastener is the heavier-duty choice.
8) What size box do the 1000 count Metallics deck screws come in?
The RDS4M box measures 7.25 x 6.25 x 6 inches and weighs 10.42 lbs, useful if you are planning cart loads or job-box storage for a multi-case order.
