Metallics RSDS6B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size driver bit do I need for the Metallics RSDS6B deck screws?
A T25 star bit. The RSDS6B uses a star (flat six-lobe) recess, so a T25 Torx-style driver seats fully and resists cam-out when you're sinking a 3 inch screw into framing.
2) Do I have to pre-drill for these 3 inch deck screws in hardwood?
No. The RSDS6B has a Type 17 auger point, and the chip cavity lets it drive without pre-drilling a pilot hole, including in denser woods. On brittle hardwoods or near board ends you may still want a pilot to avoid splitting.
3) Are these deck screws coated for outdoor use?
The RSDS6B is steel with a yellow zinc dichromate finish. That is a corrosion-resistant plating suited to general exterior and framing work, but it is not stainless and it is not a coating rated for direct contact with ACQ-treated lumber or saltwater exposure. For pressure-treated decking in wet service, specify a screw the manufacturer rates for treated lumber.
4) Is a #9 x 3 in. screw long enough to fasten 5/4 decking to joists?
Yes. At 3 inches overall with a #9 diameter, the RSDS6B carries about 2 inches of embedment into the joist after passing through nominal 5/4 (roughly 1 inch actual) decking, which is the usual rule for deck boards. For two-by decking at 1-1/2 inches actual, embedment drops to around 1-1/2 inches, so step up in length if your spec calls for more.
5) Will the head sit flush with decking or do I need to countersink?
The bugle head self-countersinks into wood, so it pulls flush without a separate countersink bit. Head width runs 0.316 to 0.358 in. with a head height of 0.124 in., so it seats shallow and won't leave a wide crater in softwood if you stop at flush.
6) How many screws come in a box of Metallics RSDS6B?
They ship as a 722 count box. That is the order minimum, and the box weighs 12.21 lbs, which is a useful figure if you're planning pallet or jobsite deliveries.
7) Do these screws meet Buy American requirements for a public works job?
The RSDS6B is flagged Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant in the Metallics product data. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your contract requires a single named origin on the submittal, request the origin for the specific lot being shipped.
8) What is the thread count and steel grade on the Metallics RSDS6B?
Nine threads per inch, UNC thread form, rolled on AISI 1018 to 1022 carbon steel. The 9 TPI deep thread is what gives it pull-out resistance in wood framing rather than fine-thread holding in metal.
9) Can I get the RSDS deck screws in a different length or box count?
Yes, other sizes and quantities in the Metallics RSDS deck screw series are available by request. The RSDS6B itself is fixed at #9 x 3 in. in a 722 count box.
