Metallics RDS5M – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Are the Metallics RDS5M deck screws sold individually or only by the box?
The RDS5M comes as a box of 1,000 screws, and 1,000 is also the order minimum. Pack type is box, so you are buying full boxes rather than loose counts. The box runs 13.95 lbs.
2) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics RDS5M square drive deck screws?
They take a #1 square drive bit, and three free power bits ship in the box, so you can start without sourcing a driver separately. Square drive resists cam-out better than Phillips when you are sinking 3 inch screws with an impact driver.
3) Will a #9 x 3 inch deck screw hold in pressure-treated or exterior framing without splitting the board?
The RDS5M has a Type 17 point, which is the auger-style cut point that clears a chip channel as it drives, so it starts without a pilot hole and reduces splitting near board ends. Coarse UNC threads bite in softwood framing and decking. The bugle head self-countersinks flush into wood rather than needing a separate countersink.
4) Are these Metallics deck screws rated for coastal or wet outdoor exposure?
The RDS5M carries a green ceramic all-weather coating over zinc, intended to withstand 500 hours of salt-spray testing. That makes it a coated carbon steel screw for exterior wood work, not stainless. For direct saltwater immersion or ACQ-heavy marine framing, a stainless fastener is the better call.
5) Do the Metallics RDS5M deck screws meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a government or institutional job?
The RDS5M is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA, which is what a public-works or federally funded spec typically asks for on fasteners. Country of origin is listed as multiple.
6) Can a 3 inch deck screw be used for electrical or HVAC rough-in, or is it strictly for decking?
Metallics lists the RDS5M for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades as well as deck work. The 3 inch length with coarse threads suits anchoring straps, blocking, strut backing and box mounting into wood studs, and the all-weather coating means it holds up in unconditioned or outdoor runs.
7) What steel are Metallics RDS deck screws made from?
AISI 1080 carbon steel is the material standard on the RDS series, a high-carbon steel that gets its holding strength from heat treatment rather than from alloy content. Corrosion protection comes from the coating, not the base metal.
8) Is the Metallics RDS5M a Phillips or square drive screw?
Square drive. Metallics builds the same bugle head all-weather deck screw in a Phillips version as well, so if your crew is already stocked with Phillips bits, order that variation instead rather than mixing drives on one job. The RDS5M itself is square only.
