Metallics JTSP22 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and type of screw is the Metallics JTSP22?
The JTSP22 is a #8 x 1-1/4 inch pan head Phillips sheet metal screw in zinc plated steel. The #8 diameter with a 1-1/4 inch length gives you enough bite for fastening into sheet metal enclosures, panels, and straps while the pan head seats flat without needing a countersink.
2) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JTSP22?
Each jar holds 100 screws. Metallics packs this one in a jar rather than a box, which is what electricians tend to want on a van or cart: the lid reseals, so partial quantities stay contained between jobs.
3) Will the zinc plated finish on the JTSP22 screw hold up outdoors?
Zinc plating on steel is an indoor and dry-location finish. It resists handling corrosion and incidental moisture, but for wet locations, exterior walls, or washdown areas you want a stainless screw instead. For interior panel work, device mounting, and strap fastening it is the standard choice.
4) Do I need a pilot hole to drive a #8 sheet metal screw like the JTSP22?
Yes. A sheet metal screw is not self-drilling, so it needs a pre-punched or drilled hole sized to the screw's root. In light gauge steel the screw's threads cut their own path once the hole is there. If you want to skip the pilot step, choose a self-drilling (TEK style) screw instead of the JTSP22.
5) What driver bit fits the Metallics JTSP22 screw?
It takes a Phillips bit. On a #8 pan head that is a #2 Phillips, which is the bit already in most electricians' drivers, so no extra tooling is needed to run a jar of these.
6) Is a pan head screw the right choice for mounting inside an electrical box or panel?
Pan head works where you want the fastener to sit on top of the surface and clamp a part down, which covers most strap, bracket, and panel-mounting work. If the application calls for the head to sit flush with the surface, you need a flat head in a countersunk hole instead, not this pan head screw.
