Metallics JTEKS14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to pre-drill for the Metallics JTEKS14 screw?
No pre-drilling. It's a self-drilling screw with a drill point (SD, D-Pt2), so the tip cuts its own hole as you drive it into sheet metal. That's the whole point of the type: one pass with a drill or impact driver, no pilot hole and no separate drill step.
2) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JTEKS14?
100 screws per jar. It ships as a jar pack rather than a bulk box, which is the size most electricians keep on the van or in a bin for panel, strut, and bracket work rather than a full production run.
3) Are zinc-plated self-drilling screws like the JTEKS14 OK for outdoor or wet locations?
Zinc plating is a mild corrosion coating meant for dry indoor use. The JTEKS14 is steel with zinc plating, so keep it to interior work, panel and box mounting, strut, and dry framing. For exterior, damp, or coastal installs, go to a stainless or a heavier coated self-drilling screw instead.
4) What is the Metallics part number to order this #8 x 1 self-drilling pan head screw?
Order it as Metallics JTEKS14. That one number covers the complete item: #8 x 1 inch, pan head, Phillips, self-drilling, zinc-plated steel, jar of 100. There are no finish or length options under it, so the part number is the full spec.
5) What thickness of metal will a #8 x 1 inch self-drilling screw actually hold in?
At 1 inch overall length, the JTEKS14 is sized for light gauge sheet metal and thin steel: enclosures, box covers, duct, device plates, light metal studs. Once you get into thick structural steel the drill point runs out of flute length, and a longer or heavier self-drilling screw is the right call.
