Metallics JTEKS3V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Metallics JTEKS3V part description decode to in plain terms?
JTEKS3V is a #8 by 5/8 inch self-drilling screw with a pan head and a Phillips drive, zinc plated steel, with a number 2 drill point. The shorthand on the description breaks down as PN for pan head, SD-PH for self-drilling Phillips, TS for TEKS style, D-Pt2 for the drill point number, and St-Z for steel, zinc plated. It ships 500 to a jar.
2) Will a 5/8 inch self-drilling screw hold in metal studs or a steel box?
A 5/8 inch overall length gives you very little thread past the material, so the #8 x 5/8 JTEKS3V is meant for thin material: light gauge steel stud flanges, sheet metal, strut and box work, mounting plates and brackets. If you are fastening through drywall or any stacked material, that 5/8 inch gets used up fast and you want a longer screw instead.
3) Is the pan head on these screws going to sit flush, or does it stand proud?
It stands proud. The JTEKS3V has a pan head, which seats flat on the surface rather than sinking into it, so it is the right choice for attaching plates, straps and brackets to sheet steel. If you need the head buried flush in the material, a pan head is the wrong profile and you want a flat or bugle head self-driller.
4) Are these Metallics self-drilling screws rated for outdoor or wet locations?
These are steel screws with a zinc plating, which is a dry indoor finish. Zinc plate handles handling and storage corrosion, not weather exposure or damp locations. For exterior runs, rooftop equipment or wash down areas, specify a stainless or coated exterior grade self-driller instead of the zinc plated JTEKS3V.
5) How do these Metallics screws come packaged for a service van or shop bin?
They come 500 to a jar, which is the pack type on the JTEKS3V. The jar is the format electricians keep on a van shelf or in a bench rack, so you can pull a handful without opening a bulk box. Buy by the jar when you want a standing stock of one size rather than a job quantity.
6) What size driver bit do I need for the Metallics JTEKS3V?
A Phillips bit. The JTEKS3V is a Phillips drive self-drilling screw, so it runs with a standard Phillips tip in a drill or impact driver. On a #8 screw that is normally a #2 Phillips.
