Bsc Preferred 730258 Drywall Screw 6x1-5/8 in Coarse Thread

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 730258 is a coarse-thread drywall screw designed for fastening drywall, plywood, composition board, and softwood framing. Each screw features a No. 2 Phillips bugle head that countersinks cleanly without tearing paper face on drywall. The hardened steel construction is the result of carbon steel undergoing heat treatment, quenching, and secondary reheating, producing a fastener with strong resistance to wear, corrosion, and abrasion. A phosphate finish adds a layer of surface protection. This package contains 1 pound of 6x1-5/8-inch screws, making it a practical supply for residential interior drywall work.

These screws are suited for interior drywall installation where a sharp-point fastener is needed to penetrate without pre-drilling. Common applications include attaching drywall sheets to wood studs, securing plywood to wood substructure, and fastening softwood composition panels. The coarse thread provides solid pull-through resistance in wood substrates. The bugle head geometry distributes load across the drywall face and minimizes surface damage at the drive point. These are intended for interior use only and are not rated for exterior or wet environments.

Key Features

• Coarse thread for strong grip in wood and composition substrates
• No. 2 Phillips bugle head countersinks without tearing drywall paper
• Sharp point penetrates softwood and drywall without pre-drilling
• Hardened steel construction resists wear, corrosion, and abrasion
• Phosphate finish provides surface protection for interior applications
• Sold as a 1-pound box for jobsite-quantity use

Compatibility

Designed for interior use with drywall, plywood, composition board, and softwood substrates where a coarse-thread bugle-head screw is the specified fastener type.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a No. 2 Phillips bit at controlled torque to seat the bugle head flush without breaking through the drywall face paper. A drywall screw gun or drill with adjustable clutch is the standard tool for production work. These screws are rated for interior use only and should not be substituted in exterior, wet, or treated-lumber applications where corrosion resistance beyond the phosphate finish is required. Follow applicable local building codes and manufacturer spacing requirements for drywall fastener patterns.
