Metallics JSDSS8 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Metallics JSDSS8 deck screw and how many come in a jar?
The JSDSS8 is a #8 x 1-1/2 inch bugle head self-drilling deck screw with a T-17 point, packed 100 to a jar. The #8 diameter at 1-1/2 inch length is the common size for fastening 5/4 or 1x decking and light framing where you want the head to pull flush without blowing out the surface.
2) Do I need to pre-drill for a T-17 self-drilling deck screw?
No. The T-17 point on the JSDSS8 is a notched, auger-style tip that cuts its own clearance as it drives, so it goes into wood without a pilot hole and reduces splitting near board ends and edges. That is the whole reason to specify a T-17 over a plain type-17 or standard sharp point on deck boards.
3) Why a bugle head screw for decking instead of a flat or pan head?
A bugle head has a curved taper under the head that lets it seat itself into wood and sit flush or slightly below the surface without a countersink, and it spreads load so it does not tear through softwood. The JSDSS8 is a bugle head #8 x 1-1/2. If you need the head to stand proud against a metal or plastic surface, or you are fastening through a bracket, a pan or hex washer head screw is the better choice.
4) How do I order the Metallics JSDSS8 and does it come in other sizes on the same part number?
JSDSS8 is a single-configuration item: one model, one size, #8 x 1-1/2 inch, supplied in the 100-count jar. Other diameters and lengths in the deck screw line carry their own Metallics part numbers, so order by the exact number for the length you need.
