Plymetal TEK Self-Drilling Screws (Plywood-to-Metal)
Plymetal TEK self-drilling screws as printed by the collected special-purpose table: No. 10 diameter drilling material up to .175" max, fastening plywood or composite over 1/2" to metal.
Last updated: 2026-11
Specifications
The Plymetal TEK class is named for the pairing it serves: plywood or composite board over 1/2" thick fastened down to metal. The collected table gives it a No. 10 diameter and a material window running to .175" max — the metal side of the stack, which is what the drill point has to pierce before the threads carry into it. That window covers deck plate and light structural metal; the wood side needs no drilling, which is why the thickness column is bounded on the metal only. This is the construction screwed through when fixing roof ply, composite panelling or insulation boards onto steel framing or deck. The collected table prints no drill-point length for this class; point geometry is confirmed against the panel system at quotation.

Frequently asked questions
Plymetal TEK or Plymetal TEK with Wings — how do they split the work?
By what the board side is made of. The collected table gives the plain Plymetal class the plywood/composite-over-metal pairing with the metal window running to .175" max. The with-wings variant keeps the same No. 10 core screw but adds cutting wings and an explicitly printed minimum — .089" min to .175" max — and its pairing is drywall to metal or wood. The wings ream the board layer so the threads pull the board tight against the substrate without spoiling its face; the printed minimum exists because a winged screw needs enough metal in the stack for the point to do its work after the wings cut off. Match the page to your board material and check the .089" floor before ordering the winged variant.
What is the MOQ and lead time for these self-drilling screws?
Minimum order quantity is 10,000 pieces per item. Stocked sizes ship in 3–7 days; non-stock diameters, lengths or finishes are quoted with a confirmed schedule. Confirm the exact schedule against quantity and size mix at quotation.
What should an RFQ for these special-purpose TEK screws state?
State the point class (Stitch, Plymetal, Plymetal with Wings, Drywall or Gypsum TEK), the screw diameter from the class table, the base material it drills into and the total thickness or gauge of the stack, head form and drive, length, finish (for example zinc plated or 410 stainless), required certificates such as a mill test report per EN 10204 3.1, and quantity per size — plus destination country.
