Metallics JTEKS2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and style is the Metallics JTEKS2 self-drilling screw?
The Metallics JTEKS2 is a #8 x 3/4 inch pan head self-drilling screw with a Phillips drive, type S point, and zinc-plated steel finish. It's the small sheet metal fastener electricians reach for on struts, boxes, brackets, and light-gauge metal where you don't want to pre-drill.
2) Do I need to drill a pilot hole before driving these #8 screws into sheet metal?
No. The JTEKS2 is a self-drilling screw with a drill point, so it cuts its own hole in light-gauge sheet metal as it drives. One pass with a Phillips bit, no pilot hole and no separate step.
3) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JTEKS2?
100 screws per jar. The jar pack is handy on a service van or a parts shelf, since you can pour out a handful without the screws scattering the way a loose bag lets them.
4) Are these zinc-plated screws suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
Zinc plating on the JTEKS2 is a dry-interior coating. It gives decent corrosion resistance in conditioned indoor spaces, but for exterior, damp, or coastal work you want stainless or a hot-dip/mechanically galvanized fastener instead of zinc-plated steel.
5) What drive bit do I need for the Metallics JTEKS2 screws?
A Phillips bit. On a #8 pan head screw that's normally a #2 Phillips. Keep the driver clutch moderate; the pan head seats against the surface and over-driving in thin sheet metal will strip the hole.
6) Is a pan head the right choice, or should I use a flat head screw?
Pan head, like the JTEKS2, sits on top of the material and gives a broad bearing surface, which is what you want for clamping straps, clips, and box ears to sheet metal. Choose a flat or trim head only when the fastener has to sit flush in a countersunk hole.
