Metallics DT1420 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics DT1420 drill-tap cut?
The DT1420 is a 1/4-20 drill-tap, so it drills the hole and cuts a 1/4-20 UNC thread in one pass. That is the common thread for 1/4-20 machine screws and threaded rod hangers used on strut, pans, and sheet metal.
2) Do I need a separate drill bit and tap, or does this one bit do both?
One tool does both. The DT1420 combines the drill point and the tap flutes on a single shank, so you drill through and keep feeding to thread the hole without swapping tools. No pilot bit and no separate 1/4-20 hand tap needed.
3) Is the Metallics DT1420 drill-tap high speed steel or carbide?
High speed steel. HSS handles the mild steel, sheet metal, and strut channel that electrical rough-in work runs into, and it can be resharpened at the drill point. It is not intended for hardened or stainless stock.
4) What is the Metallics DT1420 drill-tap actually used for on an electrical job?
It is an electrical-trade tool for putting 1/4-20 threads into steel so you can hang boxes, straps, and threaded rod off existing structure. Typical use is threading a hole in beam flange, deck, strut, or an enclosure body where there is no existing tapped hole, then running a 1/4-20 screw or rod into it.
5) How many drill-taps come in a Metallics DT1420 pack?
One piece per pouch. If you are tapping a run of hanger points or standardizing a service truck, order multiple pouches rather than expecting a set.
