Metallics CPD4M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Metallics CPD4M deck screw be used in pressure treated lumber?
Yes. The CPD4M carries a ceramic polymer coating over steel, which protects against corrosion and is rated for use in pressure treated lumber. It also holds up to UV exposure, so it suits exposed decking and exterior framing rather than just dry interior work.
2) Do I need to pre-drill for 3 inch Metallics CPD4M deck screws?
These are Type 17 point screws, which means the tip carries a cut-away auger notch that clears its own chip as it drives. In normal softwood and pressure treated deck boards they go in without a pilot hole and resist splitting near board ends. Dense hardwood decking is still worth pre-drilling.
3) Will a 3 inch #9 deck screw hold 5/4 decking down to 2x framing?
Yes. At 3 inches of length a #9 screw passes through nominal 5/4 decking (about 1 inch actual) and still buries roughly 2 inches into the joist, which is the normal target for deck board attachment. For 2x decking over 2x framing it also works, with about 1-1/2 inches of thread in the joist.
4) Are Metallics CPD4M deck screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The CPD4M is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On federally funded work with domestic sourcing requirements you will need a different fastener.
5) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics CPD4M screws, and is one included?
The head takes a combination square/Phillips drive, so either a #2 square or a #2 Phillips bit will seat it. Driver size called out is #2. A free power bit ships with the box, listed as a #1 drive power bit, so plan on your own #2 bits for a full crew.
6) Will the bugle head of the Metallics CPD4M sink flush without a countersink?
A bugle head is shaped to self-countersink into wood, pulling flush as it seats. Head width runs 0.334 to 0.363 in. and head height 0.020 to 0.039 in., so it leaves only a shallow dish on the board face. No separate countersinking step is needed in softwood or treated lumber.
7) How are Metallics CPD4M deck screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They come boxed, with an order minimum of 1,000 pieces. The box weighs 13.214 lbs. If you need a smaller count or a different length and diameter, Metallics lists other sizes and quantities in the CPD line by request.
8) Are the Metallics CPD4M screws coarse thread, and does that matter for decking?
Coarse thread, 8 threads per inch, UNC form. Coarse pitch is what you want in wood and composite framing because the deeper, wider-spaced thread bites fast and holds in soft fiber. Fine thread screws are for metal and would strip in a joist.
9) Can electrical or HVAC crews use these deck screws for mounting backing and strut blocking?
Yes, the CPD series is catalogued for the electrical, plumbing, and heating and air conditioning trades, not just deck building. The corrosion-resistant ceramic polymer coating and 3 inch length make them workable for fastening wood backing, blocking, and plywood mounting boards, including in damp or exterior locations.
10) Will a worn Phillips bit cam out on these screws?
That is the reason for the combo recess. Phillips recess depth is 0.124 in. with a 0.176 to 0.201 in. diameter, and the square pocket measures 0.110 to 0.113 in. wide by 0.064 to 0.075 in. deep. If a Phillips bit starts slipping under torque, switch to a #2 square bit in the same head and you get positive engagement with no cam-out.
