Overview

The NSI Industries JDS178 Sheet Metal Screw (SKU: JDS178) is a self-piercing fastener engineered for rapid sheet metal joining without pre-drilling. This #14 size screw measures 1-1/2 inches in length and features a 3/8-inch hex head for secure tool engagement. The slotted drive type ensures compatibility with standard drivers, including the MT212B Chuck. Constructed from durable steel and finished with zinc chromate, the JDS178 provides corrosion resistance for long-term reliability in industrial environments. Each pack includes 100 screws, ideal for high-volume applications in sheet metal fabrication, automotive assembly, and general construction. The self-piercing design eliminates the need for separate drilling or punching operations, reducing installation time by up to 40% compared to conventional screws. Compatible with #14 drive tools, this screw delivers consistent performance in thin-gauge metals up to 16 gauge. The zinc chromate finish meets ASTM B633 standards for salt spray resistance, ensuring durability in outdoor or corrosive conditions. For precise applications requiring a flush finish, the 3/8-inch hex head provides a low-profile driving surface.
