Metallics RDS5V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do the Metallics RDS5V deck screws come in a box of 500, and can I buy fewer?
The RDS5V #9 x 3 inch deck screws ship in a jar, with a minimum order of 500 each. That jar of 500 is the buying unit, so smaller counts aren't offered on this item. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
2) What driver bit do I need for these square drive deck screws, and is one included?
They take a square (Robertson) drive, and a #1 drive power bit is included free with the jar. So you can run them with a standard impact driver or drill out of the box, no separate bit purchase needed.
3) Will these screws hold up outdoors or near the coast?
The RDS5V carries a green ceramic all-weather coating over zinc, rated to withstand a 500 hour salt-spray test. That's the exterior-grade coating you want for decking, outdoor framing, and damp or coastal exposure rather than a plain zinc screw.
4) Do I have to pre-drill for a #9 x 3 inch Type 17 deck screw?
No. The Type 17 point is a chip-cutting auger tip that self-starts in wood and clears its own hole, so pre-drilling isn't required in typical softwood decking or framing. Near board ends or in dense hardwood, a pilot hole still reduces splitting.
5) Why a bugle head instead of a flat or pan head on deck boards?
The bugle head draws flush and slightly below the surface of wood without the sharp shoulder a flat head leaves, spreading the load so it doesn't tear through softer decking. Pan heads sit proud and are for sheet metal or strapping, not finished walking surfaces.
6) What thickness of material will a 3 inch #9 deck screw fasten?
At 3 inches of length, the RDS5V is sized for 5/4 or 2x decking into a 2x joist, or 1x and 2x material into framing, and still leaves solid thread engagement in the receiving member. The coarse UNC thread is cut for wood and composite framing, not steel studs.
7) Do the Metallics RDS5V screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a public job?
No. The RDS5V is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with origin listed as multiple countries. If your contract carries a domestic-sourcing clause, this screw won't satisfy it.
8) Are these deck screws suitable for electrical and HVAC rough-in work, not just decks?
Yes. Metallics lists the RDS5V for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, and the all-weather coating makes it a common pick for mounting strut, boxes, disconnects, and condenser pads to exterior wood.
9) What steel are these deck screws made from?
AISI 1080 carbon steel is the base material, finished with zinc and the green all-weather ceramic coat. That's a hardened carbon steel screw, so it drives well but should not be substituted where stainless is specified for corrosion or for direct contact with certain treated lumber chemistries.
10) Are the stated dimensions on these bugle head deck screws exact?
There is no single industry standard for bugle head deck screw dimensions, so Metallics publishes the #9 diameter and 3 inch length as a guide and slight deviations are acceptable. If you're matching an existing screw head profile exactly, allow for that variation.
11) How much does a 500 count jar of these 3 inch deck screws weigh?
About 6.02 lbs for the 500 piece jar, with the container measuring 7.25 by 6.25 by 6 inches. Useful if you're palletizing or figuring a van load for a multi-unit deck repair.
