Metallics RDS3M – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many Metallics RDS3M deck screws come in a box, and can I buy fewer?
The RDS3M ships as a 1,000 piece box, and 1,000 is the order minimum. The packed box weighs 6.29 lbs. Metallics does make other sizes and quantities in the RDS deck screw line available by request, but this part number is the 1,000 count box.
2) Will a #9 x 2 inch deck screw hold up outdoors or near the coast?
The RDS3M carries a green ceramic all-weather coating over zinc that Metallics rates to withstand 500 hours of salt spray. That is an exterior-duty coating, which is why it is sold as a deck screw rather than an interior drywall or subfloor screw.
3) Do I need to pre-drill for the Metallics RDS3M deck screw?
It has a Type 17 point, which is the self-drilling cutting point that augers its own pilot in wood, so pre-drilling is generally unnecessary in softwood and composite decking. Coarse UNC threads clear chips fast in wood. Near a board end or in dense hardwood, a pilot hole still helps prevent splitting.
4) What driver bit do these square drive deck screws take, and is one included?
Square (Robertson) drive, and the box ships with 3 free #1 square power bits. Keep spares on hand for a 1,000 count box; the bits wear long before the screws run out.
5) What thickness of decking or framing does a 2 inch screw suit?
At 2 inches of length, the RDS3M is sized for fastening nominal 1 inch material (3/4 inch actual boards) down to framing, leaving roughly an inch of thread in the joist. For 5/4 decking you want a longer screw in the same RDS family.
6) Are Metallics RDS3M deck screws acceptable on a federally funded job?
Metallics lists the RDS3M as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, which is what a government, school, or healthcare procurement file usually needs on a fastener line item.
7) Why does a bugle head matter on a deck screw?
The bugle head draws itself flush into wood without a countersink, spreading the load under the head so it does not punch through softwood or splinter the board face. That is the reason to pick the RDS3M over a flat or pan head for decking and face-fastened wood.
8) What steel are these screws made from?
AISI 1080 carbon steel is the stated material standard for the RDS3M, with the zinc and all-weather ceramic coating applied over it. It is a hardened carbon steel screw, not stainless, so the coating is what carries the corrosion protection.
9) Are these only for decks, or can electrical and mechanical crews use them?
Metallics targets the RDS line at the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades as much as at deck building. The coated #9 x 2 inch coarse thread screw is a general wood-fastening screw for strut backing, blocking, and hanger attachment into wood as well as decking.
10) Are the dimensions on these bugle head deck screws exact?
There is no single industry standard governing bugle head deck screw dimensions, so Metallics publishes the #9 diameter and 2 inch length as a guide and notes slight deviations are acceptable. If your spec calls for a dimensionally controlled fastener, that is worth knowing before you submit.
