Metallics TEKDK1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly comes in the Metallics TEKDK1 self-drilling screw kit?
The TEKDK1 is a 305 piece Type BSD self-drilling screw tray. It holds 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch and 1 inch hex washer head screws in #10 with a 5/16 inch hex head (100, 50 and 40 pieces respectively), plus additional 1/2 inch (50), 3/4 inch (35) and 1 inch (30) pieces, a 5/16 inch nut setter (MT210B), and a 1/4 inch nut setter. Everything ships in a tray, sold by the each.
2) Do I need to pre-drill for these Metallics Tek screws, or do they drill their own hole?
No pre-drilling. These are drill point screws, so the point drills its own hole and the spaced threads tap the mating thread in the same operation. That cuts the drill bits and taps out of the job, which is the main reason sheet metal and strut work uses them instead of a drill-and-tap sequence.
3) Will these screws hold plywood or sheathing to metal studs, or are they metal-to-metal only?
Both. The screws can attach plywood, soft woods or composition board to metal, and they also fasten metal to metal, which is the common case on duct, strut and sheet metal enclosures.
4) What driver do I need to run these hex washer head Tek screws?
They take a hex driver, not a bit. The head is hex washer with a 5/16 inch hex on the #10 screws, and the kit includes the matching 5/16 inch nut setter (MT210B) plus a 1/4 inch nut setter, so no separate driver purchase is needed for the screws in the tray.
5) Does this screw kit meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a government or institutional job?
Metallics lists the TEKDK1 kit as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant. Country of origin is recorded as multiple, so if your contract requires a single named origin, that is the one line to confirm on the submittal.
6) What standards do these self-drilling screws are built to, for a spec submittal?
Dimensions follow ASME B18.6.3-2010 and threads follow SAE J78-2013. Steel is AISI 1016 to 1024, case hardened to Rockwell C32-40. That hardness is what lets the point drill steel rather than skate on it.
7) How thick a metal plate can these Tek screws drill through?
Metallics states a drill time of 2.5 seconds for a 1 mm thick plate, and notes minimum torques are the same for stainless and steel self-drilling screws. For heavier gauge than that, step up to a heavier point class.
8) Are Metallics TEKDK1 screws plated for damp or outdoor use?
The screws are steel with a zinc finish. Zinc plating suits dry interior and sheltered work; it is not a stainless or hot-dip coating, so continuous wet or corrosive exposure calls for a stainless self-drilling screw instead.
9) How big is the Metallics TEKDK1 tray, and will it fit in a van bin?
The tray measures 8 in long by 4.62 in wide by 1.25 in high and weighs 1.69 lbs loaded, so it drops into a standard service van drawer or tote.
10) Is this screw assortment aimed at electrical work only?
Metallics lists the field application as electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning. In practice it is the mixed-length Tek assortment a mechanical or electrical crew keeps on the truck for strut, duct, panel and hanger fastening.
11) Can I get these Metallics self-drilling screws in other lengths or bulk counts instead of the kit?
Yes. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request for the Type BSD self-drilling line, so a single-length bulk box is an option if you are burning through one size rather than needing the assortment.
