Nsi Industries jpds1v Framing Screw Zinc 7/16 in 500 Count

Product Description

The NSI INDUSTRIES jpds1v is a pan head, Phillips-drive, self-drilling and self-tapping framing screw with a zinc finish. Designed for steel-to-steel and framing applications, this TEK-style screw drills its own pilot hole and cuts its own threads on contact, eliminating the need for pre-drilling. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior and light-exposure framing conditions. Sold in a 500-count jar, the jpds1v is sized at 7/16 inch and is a practical bulk fastener for structural and framing trades.

This screw is used in light-gauge steel framing, metal stud construction, and general framing assembly work. The pan head profile sits flush against the material surface and distributes load across a wider bearing area than a bugle or flat head. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power screw guns and impact drivers common on commercial and residential framing jobs. Electricians, framers, and HVAC sheet metal installers commonly use TEK screws of this type when securing light-gauge steel track, channel, and framing members.

Key Features

• Self-drilling TEK-style tip eliminates pre-drilling in light-gauge steel framing applications
• Pan head Phillips drive compatible with standard power screw guns and impact drivers
• Zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for interior and light-exposure environments
• 7/16 inch size suited for light-gauge steel framing and sheet metal assembly
• 500-count jar packaging for bulk job-site use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for light-gauge steel framing, metal stud track, and sheet metal applications requiring a self-drilling pan head screw.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by framers, HVAC sheet metal technicians, or electricians using a standard Phillips-bit power driver or screw gun set to appropriate torque. Do not overdrive the screw, as stripping the threads in light-gauge steel reduces holding strength. Confirm base material gauge compatibility before selecting this fastener for structural connections. Follow applicable building code requirements for fastener spacing and load-bearing framing assemblies.
