Metallics JTEKS8V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 5/8 inch self-drilling screw be long enough for mounting boxes and straps to metal studs?
At 5/8 inch overall length, the JTEKS8V is sized for fastening directly into sheet metal or light-gauge framing, such as device boxes, straps, clips and brackets onto metal studs or channel. It is not a long screw, so once you are stacking thick material or shimming behind the item, step up to a longer length instead.
2) Do I need to pre-drill a pilot hole for a #10 x 5/8 self-drilling TEK screw?
No. The JTEKS8V is a self-drilling screw with a drill point, so it cuts its own hole and taps its own thread in sheet metal in one pass. That is the point of a TEK-style fastener: one driver, no pilot hole, no separate tap.
3) Is a pan head the right head style for electrical fastening, or should I use a hex washer head?
Pan head with a Phillips drive, as on the JTEKS8V, sits fairly low with a broad bearing surface and drives with a standard #2 Phillips bit, which is why it is common for boxes, plates, straps and brackets where you do not want a hex head standing proud. A hex washer head is the alternative when you want a larger bearing face and a nut driver instead, typically for sheet metal duct and heavier strap work.
4) Are these Metallics self-drilling screws steel or stainless, and can I use them outdoors?
The JTEKS8V is a steel screw. Steel self-drilling fasteners are for dry interior work; for exterior, damp or corrosive locations specify a stainless or a coated corrosion-resistant screw instead.
