Metallics FSCS2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole do I drill for a Metallics FSCS2 3/16 inch concrete screw?
The FSCS2 is a 3/16 inch diameter concrete screw, so it installs into a 5/32 inch carbide hole in concrete, block, or brick. Drill the hole deeper than the embedment you need so dust has somewhere to go, then drive the screw with a square drive bit. At 1-3/4 inches overall length, subtract the thickness of whatever you are fastening to get your embedment.
2) Will a 1-3/4 inch concrete screw hold a 1/2 inch strut channel or conduit strap to concrete?
Yes. The FSCS2 measures 1-3/4 inches overall, so fastening through a thin strap or a strut channel base still leaves well over an inch of thread in the concrete, which is past the minimum 1 inch embedment these screws need. Fastening through thicker standoffs or wood blocking eats into that embedment, and there you want a longer screw instead.
3) Does the Metallics FSCS2 need a separate plastic or lead anchor?
No. It is a one-piece concrete screw that cuts its own thread in the drilled hole, so there is no shield, sleeve, or plug to set first. Drill, blow the hole clean, drive the screw. It also backs out and can be removed, unlike a drop-in or a hammer-set anchor.
4) Is the FSCS2 head flush-mounting, and what bit drives it?
Flat head with a square drive recess, so the head sits flush or near flush in a countersunk hole and does not stand proud under a plate or strap. You drive it with a square (Robertson) bit, not Phillips, so make sure the right bit is on the truck.
5) Can I use the FSCS2 concrete screw in drywall or hollow block webs?
Not in drywall or hollow sheetrock, and not through the hollow cells of a block. These screws need solid base material to thread into, so they belong in poured concrete, solid brick, or the solid web of CMU. For hollow wall work use a toggle or a self-drilling drywall anchor instead.
6) How many screws come in a box of Metallics FSCS2?
Boxes of 100. For a crew running conduit straps or box mounting on a block wall, that is roughly a job's worth per box, and ordering by the box keeps one part number on the material list instead of counting loose fasteners.
7) What is the nail point on the FSCS2 concrete screw for?
The nail point is the sharpened tip that lets the screw start into the drilled hole without walking, so it picks up thread on the first turn instead of spinning on the surface. It is useful overhead and in tight electrical boxes where you only have one hand on the gun.
8) Are Metallics FSCS2 concrete screws made in the USA?
Yes, the FSCS2 is USA made, which matters on public and institutional work where domestic sourcing is written into the spec.
