Bsc Preferred 730378 8x2-1/2 Drywall Screw 6oz Box

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 730378 is a coarse thread bugle head drywall screw designed for fastening drywall, plywood, composition board, and softwood in interior applications. The screw features a hardened steel construction produced through a heat treatment, quenching, and reheating process that increases resistance to wear, corrosion, and abrasion. A No. 2 Phillips recess bugle head allows for countersinking without tearing the drywall face. The phosphate finish adds a layer of surface protection. Sold in a 6-ounce box, these screws suit residential and light commercial interior work where a reliable, consistently driven fastener is required by finish carpenters, drywall hangers, and general contractors.

This screw is suited for interior drywall installation, subfloor sheathing, and general wood-to-wood fastening applications. The coarse thread design provides strong pull-through resistance in wood substrates and gypsum board. The sharp point allows for self-starting penetration without pre-drilling in most softwood and drywall applications. These screws are appropriate for residential new construction, remodel work, and light commercial interior buildout where interior-rated fasteners are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by drywall hangers, finish carpenters, or general contractors using a screw gun or drill driver set to the appropriate clutch depth to avoid overdriving. Drive screws until the bugle head sits flush with or just below the drywall surface without breaking the paper face. These fasteners are rated for interior use only and should not be used in exterior or high-moisture applications. Follow local building codes and manufacturer substrate requirements when specifying fastener type and spacing.
