Bsc Preferred 758078 Drywall Screw 6x1-1/4 Coarse Thread 5 Lb

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 758078 is a coarse-thread drywall screw sold in a 5-pound box. The screw features a No. 2 Phillips recess bugle head, a sharp hardened-steel point, and a phosphate finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for interior applications. Hardened steel construction results from carbon steel undergoing heat treatment, quenching, and further reheating, producing a fastener that resists wear, abrasion, and surface corrosion. These are a standard choice for drywall installation crews, finish carpenters, and general tradespeople who need a reliable bulk supply of interior fasteners.

The 758078 screw measures 6x1-1/4 inches and is suited for fastening drywall to wood framing in residential and light commercial interior construction. The coarse thread provides strong pull-through resistance in softwood studs and is also appropriate for use with plywood and composition board substrates. The bugle head countersinks cleanly into drywall face paper without tearing, which is critical for a smooth finish coat. Interior use only due to the phosphate finish.

Key Features

• Coarse thread for secure grip in softwood framing, plywood, and composition board
• Sharp point drives without pre-drilling in standard wood framing
• No. 2 Phillips recess bugle head countersinks without tearing drywall face paper
• Hardened steel construction for durability and resistance to wear and abrasion
• Phosphate finish provides basic corrosion resistance for interior environments
• 5-pound bulk box quantity for high-volume installation work

Compatibility

Designed for interior drywall installation applications involving drywall panels fastened to softwood framing, plywood, or composition board substrates.

Installation Notes

Installed by drywall hangers, framers, and general contractors using a screw gun or variable-speed drill with a No. 2 Phillips bit. Drive screws to the proper depth so the bugle head sits just below the drywall surface without breaking through the face paper. These fasteners are rated for interior use only and should not be used in exterior, wet, or high-humidity environments where additional corrosion resistance is required. Follow applicable local building codes for fastener spacing and pattern.
