Bsc Preferred 730356 Drywall Screw 6x1-5/8 in Phosphate

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 730356 is a coarse-thread bugle-head drywall screw designed for interior fastening applications in residential and light commercial construction. The screw features a No. 2 Phillips recess drive and a sharp point that penetrates material without pre-drilling. Constructed from hardened carbon steel that has been heat-treated, quenched, and reheated, the 730356 delivers strong resistance to wear, corrosion, and abrasion. A phosphate finish further protects the steel and reduces surface glare. Sold in a 6-ounce box, these screws are a standard consumable for drywall installation crews and general framing tradespeople.

These screws are suited for interior drywall, plywood, composition board, and softwood substrates. The coarse thread pattern provides strong holding power in wood framing and engineered wood products. The bugle head countersinks cleanly into drywall face paper without tearing, making it a reliable choice for hanging standard drywall panels to wood studs. This screw is intended for interior use only and is not rated for exterior or treated-lumber applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a drywall screw gun or variable-speed drill fitted with a No. 2 Phillips bit and a depth-setter nose piece to ensure consistent countersink depth. Drive screws perpendicular to the panel surface to avoid stripping the face paper. These screws are rated for interior use only and should not be used in exterior, high-moisture, or pressure-treated lumber applications. Follow applicable local building codes for screw spacing and fastener schedules when hanging drywall.
