Metallics JSDL14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and drive is the Metallics JSDL14 deck screw?
The JSDL14 is a #14 by 3 inch deck screw with a bugle head and a star (Torx-style) drive recess. It uses a T-17 auger point, which cuts a relief as it drives to reduce splitting in dimensional lumber. Order code JSDL14.
2) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JSDL14?
Each jar holds 100 screws. The pack type is a jar rather than a bulk box, so it suits a service truck or a punch-list quantity rather than a framing run.
3) Will a bugle head screw sit flush in a deck board, or do I need to countersink first?
A bugle head self-countersinks in softwood decking, so no pre-drilling of a countersink is needed. Combined with the T-17 auger point on the JSDL14, it pulls down flush without mushrooming the board face. In hardwood or near a board end you still want a pilot hole.
4) What driver bit do I need for the star drive on these Metallics deck screws?
They take a star (Torx-style) bit, not a Phillips or square drive. Bring the matching star bit to the job; a Phillips will cam out and chew the recess. Star recesses hold the bit under high torque, which is why they are used on 3 inch deck screws like the JSDL14.
5) Is a 3 inch deck screw long enough to fasten 5/4 decking to a joist?
Yes. At 3 inches, the JSDL14 passes through nominal 5/4 decking (about 1 inch actual) or a 2x laid flat (1-1/2 inches actual) and still leaves well over an inch of thread in the joist, which is the usual rule of thumb for a deck board fastening.
