Metallics JATEKELDX – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics JATEKELDX lag screw?
It's a square drive head, listed as S-Dr, so you drive it with a square (Robertson) bit rather than a Phillips or a hex socket wrench. Square drive holds the bit in the recess under a cordless impact without camming out, which is why it's the common head on electrical lag work overhead.
2) Are these blue coated lag screws OK for damp or outdoor electrical runs?
These I-Lag screws carry a blue rust-proof coating, so they hold up better than plain steel in damp interior locations, unfinished basements, parking structures and similar spots. For direct saltwater exposure or continuous immersion, step up to stainless fasteners instead.
3) What is the Metallics I-Lag screw actually used for on an electrical job?
It's a wood lag screw for anchoring electrical supports into framing: strut, pipe straps, hangers, box and panel mounting, and ceiling supports where you're screwing into joists, blocking or a wood plate. It is not a concrete or masonry anchor, so for a poured deck or block wall you need a screw anchor or sleeve anchor rated for masonry instead.
4) Do I need to pre-drill for the 1/4-14 I-Lag screw?
In softwood framing the 1/4-14 thread is self-starting with a square drive bit and an impact driver, so no pilot hole is normally needed. In hardwood, engineered lumber or near a board edge where splitting is a risk, drill a pilot slightly under the quarter inch shank diameter first.
