Metallics JTEKDM416 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to pre-drill for the Metallics JTEKDM416 M4.2 x 16mm self-drilling screw?
No pilot hole needed. The JTEKDM416 is a Type BSD self-drilling and tapping screw with a drill point, so it bores and forms its own thread in one pass. Metallics states drill time of 2.5 seconds through a 1 mm thick plate. That is the whole point of the design: it cuts out drill bits and taps and the labour that goes with them.
2) Is the Metallics JTEKDM416 stainless screw hard enough to drill through steel studs or strut?
Hardness runs Rockwell C32-40 on the 410 stainless body, and Metallics notes minimum torques are the same for stainless and steel self-drill screws. Practically, it drills light-gauge steel; the stated 2.5 second drill time is for 1 mm plate, so sizing it against heavier structural steel is a different screw's job.
3) Is the JTEKDM416 a metric screw, and what size is it?
Metric, M4.2 diameter by 16mm long. If your drawing or existing fasteners call out imperial self-drillers (#8 x 5/8 and the like), this is not a direct swap on the callout even though it lands in a similar range. Metallics lists other sizes and quantities by request.
4) Do Metallics JTEKD screws qualify for Buy American or ARRA projects?
No. The JTEKD series is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If you are on a federally funded job with domestic sourcing requirements, you need a different fastener line.
5) What driver do I need for the JTEKDM416 screw head?
Hex drive. The head is an indented hex with a washer face, so it runs with a nut setter or hex socket in a screwgun or impact driver, not a bit tip. The indented hex also seats flat and spreads clamp load against sheet metal without needing a separate washer.
6) What standards does the Metallics JTEKD self-drilling screw meet?
Threads are to SAE J78 - 2013 and head dimensions to ASME B18.6.3-2010, with base material per AISI 1016 - 1024. Worth knowing for spec work: SAE J78 does not cover #7 diameter drill screws, and Metallics presents its torque and drill-time table as a guide only.
7) How do these Metallics M4.2 screws ship, and is there a minimum order?
They come in a jar, with a minimum of 100 count. Good for a van stock item or an MRO crib bin rather than a single-fastener pull.
8) Can I use the JTEKDM416 outdoors or in a damp location?
The screw is 410 stainless steel with a zinc finish, which gives it better corrosion resistance than plain carbon steel self-drillers. 410 is a martensitic stainless, chosen here because it can be hardened enough to drill; it is not 304 or 316, so for marine or chemically aggressive exposure specify a higher-alloy fastener.
