Metallics JTHS3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Metallics JTHS3 drywall screw and how many come in a jar?
The JTHS3 is a #6 x 2-1/4 inch drywall screw with a trim head, self-drilling sharp point and full thread, finished black. It ships 100 to a jar, so it's sized for punch-list and service quantities rather than bulk bucket counts.
2) Why use a trim head screw instead of a standard bugle head drywall screw?
A trim head has a much smaller diameter head than a bugle head, so it countersinks into wood trim, casing, or jamb extensions and leaves a hole small enough to fill with putty. The JTHS3 is the trim head version at #6 x 2-1/4 inches. If you're hanging board on studs, a bugle head drywall screw is the right call; the trim head is for the finish work after.
3) Will a 2-1/4 inch screw be long enough to go through trim and into the stud?
At 2-1/4 inches of full thread, the JTHS3 has enough length to pass through nominal 3/4 inch trim plus 1/2 inch drywall and still leave roughly an inch of bite in framing. For thicker built-up casing or double-layer board, measure your stack and step up a length.
4) Is the black finish on these screws suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
The JTHS3 carries a black phosphate-style drywall screw finish, which is an interior finish. For exterior trim, damp mechanical rooms, or treated lumber, use a coated or stainless trim screw instead.
5) Does the JTHS3 screw need a pilot hole?
It's a self-drilling sharp point screw, so it starts in wood and board without pre-drilling. In hardwood trim near an end or edge, pre-drilling still helps keep the piece from splitting, which is a judgment call on the material rather than a limit of the screw.
6) Is the Metallics JTHS3 a good screw to keep on an electrical service truck?
It's catalogued by Metallics as an electrical-department fastener, and the 100-count jar suits a truck or shop bin. A #6 x 2-1/4 trim head with a sharp point handles securing trim, blocking, and light wood work around rough-in without a separate bulk box on board.
