Metallics QDS154 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Metallics QDS154 sheet metal screw, and how many come in a pack?
The QDS154 is a #8 x 1 inch screw with a 1/4 inch hex washer head, sold 100 pieces to the pack. Zinc plated, made in the USA.
2) What driver do I need for a Metallics QuaDrive QDS154 screw?
Four options, which is the point of the QuaDrive head: a 1/4 inch hex driver or nut setter on the indented hex washer head, or a slotted, Phillips, or square (Robertson) bit in the recess. On a panel or box install you can run them with whatever is already in the drill.
3) Is the QDS154 a sheet metal screw or a wood screw?
It is a sheet metal screw (S/M/A, sheet metal type A point), so it is meant to thread into sheet metal, enclosures, raceway, and strut-type sheet stock rather than solid lumber.
4) Can I use the Metallics QDS154 screw outdoors or in a damp location?
The QDS154 has a zinc plated finish, which is a mild corrosion coating suited to dry interior electrical work, panel and box mounting, and finish trim-out. For wet, exterior, or corrosive environments, specify a stainless or hot dip galvanized fastener instead.
5) Will a 1-inch #8 screw hold a device box or strap to sheet metal studs?
Yes for sheet metal of typical stud or enclosure gauge. The #8 x 1 inch length gives enough thread to engage the sheet and clear a strap or bracket, and the indented hex washer head spreads the clamp load over the hole so a slotted bracket will not pull through. For thicker steel or a tapped hole, use a machine screw rather than a sheet metal screw.
6) Why pick a hex washer head screw instead of a pan head for electrical work?
The washer face under the hex head seats flat and covers an oversized or slotted hole, so it clamps brackets, straps, and cover plates without a separate washer. A pan head needs one. The 1/4 inch hex also lets you drive it with a nut setter in a cordless driver, which is faster overhead than a bit in a recess.
7) Is the Metallics QDS154 made in the USA?
Yes. The QDS154 QuaDrive sheet metal screw is USA made, which matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements.
