Metallics JQK520 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size screw is the Metallics JQK520, and what head and drive does it have?
The Metallics JQK520 is a #10 x 1/2 inch sheet metal style screw with a 5/16 inch hex washer head and a combo drive, meaning it takes either a 5/16 inch driver socket on the hex or a screwdriver bit in the recess. The S-Pt designation is the sharp point. Part number is JQK520.
2) Can I drive the JQK520 hex head screw with a nut driver instead of a bit?
Yes. The head is a 5/16 inch hex washer head, so a 5/16 inch magnetic nut setter in a drill driver works. The combo recess in the head gives you a screwdriver option when the hex is hard to reach.
3) Is the JQK520 the right screw for mounting devices and straps to sheet metal boxes and studs?
That's what the sharp point #10 x 1/2 inch hex head screw is built for: electrical fastening into light gauge steel such as metal studs, strut, and sheet metal enclosures. The sharp point starts without a pilot hole in thin material, and the 1/2 inch length keeps the tip from protruding far behind the sheet. Metallics catalogs it in its electrical fastener line.
4) Will a sharp point #10 screw like the JQK520 work in thick steel or concrete?
No. A sharp point screw is for light gauge sheet metal and wood framing. For heavier structural steel you want a self-drilling point screw, and for concrete or masonry you need a masonry anchor or a concrete screw, not this fastener.
5) Is the JQK520 a #10 machine thread screw that will take a nut?
No. It is a sharp point tapping style screw, so it forms its own thread in the material. If you need a screw that threads into a nut or a tapped hole, specify a 10-32 or 10-24 machine screw instead.
6) How many Metallics JQK520 screws come in a jar?
They ship 100 screws to a jar. The jar pack is the standard put-up for these, which keeps them contained in a van or on a cart rather than loose in a bag.
