Metallics JRSDS6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to pre-drill for these 3 inch deck screws in hardwood?
No. The JRSDS6 has a Type 17 auger point, and the chip cavity lets it drive without pre-drilling a pilot hole, including in denser woods.
2) Will a #9 x 3 in. deck screw hold 5/4 decking down to joists?
Yes. At 3 inches long, roughly an inch of the screw carries the 5/4 board and the remainder bites into the joist, which is the normal fastening depth for deck boards. The deeper thread form on the RSDS screws resists pull-out as the boards cup and move.
3) Does the bugle head on these screws countersink flush without a counterbore?
It does in wood. The bugle head is 0.124 in. high and 0.316 to 0.358 in. across, so it pulls itself flush into softwood or composite-free decking as you drive it. On a hard, dense board, back off the clutch at the end so you do not overdrive and mushroom the surface.
4) Is the yellow zinc finish on these Metallics deck screws OK for exterior use?
The JRSDS6 is steel with a yellow zinc dichromate finish. That coating is a sacrificial coating for general exterior and utility work, not a marine or ACQ-rated coating. For treated lumber in wet, high-exposure locations, specify a fastener rated for that chemistry instead.
5) How do the Metallics JRSDS6 screws come packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar, with a minimum of 100 count. The packed jar weighs 1.47 lbs.
6) Do these Metallics screws meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public job?
The JRSDS6 is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American in the manufacturer's data, with country of origin listed as China. If your specification requires domestic melt and manufacture, confirm which compliance clause your contract is written to before you submit them.
7) What steel are Metallics RSDS deck screws made from?
AISI 1018 to 1022 low carbon steel, case hardened as a deck screw and finished in yellow zinc. That is a driving-strength fastener for wood, not a structural bolt substitute, so use it where a wood screw is specified.
8) What is the thread pitch on the #9 x 3 in. Metallics deck screw?
9 threads per inch, UNC form. Coarse pitch like that clears chips fast in wood and is why the screw drives without a pilot hole, but it also means it is meant for wood, not for threading into metal.
