Metallics JTS28AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and drive are the Metallics JTS28AL tapping screws?
The JTS28AL is a #10 by 1 inch pan head tapping screw with a Phillips drive. Length is 1 inch, so you need a #2 Phillips bit to drive it.
2) Are these aluminum screws, and where does that matter?
Yes, the JTS28AL tapping screw is aluminum. Aluminum fasteners are what you reach for when you want to avoid galvanic issues with aluminum channel, enclosures, or trim, and where the screw is cosmetic against an aluminum surface. Aluminum is softer than steel, so it is not the right screw where you need high torque or pull-out strength in heavy gauge metal.
3) How many Metallics JTS28AL screws come in a jar?
They ship in a jar of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum, so one jar is the smallest quantity you can buy.
4) Is a self-tapping screw the right choice, or do I need a sheet metal screw with a drill point?
The JTS28AL is a tapping screw, meaning it cuts its own thread in a pre-drilled or punched hole. If you are going into clean sheet metal, an enclosure, or a knockout where the hole already exists, this is the one. If you need the screw to drill its own hole through steel with no pilot, you want a self-drilling (TEK style) screw instead, not this.
5) Do these Metallics screws meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public project?
The JTS28AL carries a compliant flag for both Buy American and ARRA, with country of origin listed as China. For a federally funded job, verify the flag against your specific contract clause, since Buy American provisions vary by funding program.
6) What is the pan head good for on an electrical install?
A pan head sits flat on the surface with a broad bearing face, so it holds thin sheet metal, straps, and plates without pulling through, and it does not need a countersunk hole the way a flat head does. That makes the JTS28AL a general purpose screw for boxes, covers, and clamps rather than anything that must sit flush.
7) How much does a jar of Metallics JTS28AL screws weigh for shipping?
A jar of 100 weighs 0.3 lbs, with the jar measuring 3 x 2.15 x 3 inches. Light enough to carry a few jars on the truck for service work.
