Metallics JTEKS7 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to pre-drill sheet metal for a #10 x 1 inch self-drilling TEK screw?
No pilot hole needed. The JTEKS7 carries a #2 self-drilling point, so it cuts its own hole as it drives. The #2 point is the common sheet metal and light gauge point, so for heavier structural steel you want a higher numbered drill point instead.
2) Is a zinc plated steel screw okay for outdoor or damp electrical work?
The JTEKS7 is zinc plated steel, which is a mild corrosion coating meant for dry indoor use. For exterior, wet location, or coastal work, specify a stainless or coated exterior grade fastener rather than standard zinc plated.
3) Why a pan head instead of a hex washer head for mounting electrical boxes and strut hardware?
The pan head on the JTEKS7 sits with a low, rounded profile and a broad flat bearing face, which is what you want when the screw head has to sit close to a plate, bracket, or box flange without a washer standing proud. A hex washer head gives more bearing surface and can be run with a nut driver, but it sits taller. For #10 fastening into light gauge steel where clearance matters, the pan head is the usual pick.
4) How much thickness will a 1 inch long #10 self-drilling screw actually hold in?
Overall length is 1 inch, so the material you are fastening plus the gauge of steel behind it has to fit inside that. In practice a 1 inch #10 covers a strap, bracket, or box flange into light gauge steel framing or stud; it is not a wood framing screw and it will not reach through drywall into steel behind it.
5) What driver bit fits the Metallics JTEKS7 screw?
It takes a Phillips bit. The JTEKS7 is a pan head Phillips self-drilling screw, so a standard Phillips driver in a drill or impact driver runs it; no square or hex drive involved.
