Greenlee ds6x158lb Drywall Screws Phillips Bugle Head

Product Description

The GREENLEE ds6x158lb is a 1-pound box of No. 6 by 1-5/8 inch coarse-thread drywall screws with a Phillips bugle head. These screws are designed to fasten drywall panels quickly and securely to wood or light-gauge metal studs. The sharp point self-starts without pre-drilling, and the bugle head seats flush with the drywall surface without tearing the facing paper. The coarse thread pattern provides strong holding power through standard drywall thicknesses. Packaged in a 1-pound box, this product suits residential and commercial drywall installation tasks handled by drywall hangers, finish carpenters, and general contractors.

This fastener is suited for securing gypsum board panels to wood stud framing and light-gauge metal stud framing in both interior wall and ceiling applications. The 1-5/8 inch length is a standard field choice for single-layer 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch drywall panels. The 1-pound box format is practical for small-to-medium scope jobs where a full bucket quantity is not warranted.

Installation Notes

Drywall screws are typically installed by drywall hangers or finish carpenters using a variable-speed screw gun with a dimpler attachment set to the correct depth. Power down or unplug the screw gun before changing bits or clearing jams. Drive screws to the correct depth so the head dimples the drywall face slightly without breaking through the paper. Follow applicable local building codes for fastener spacing on walls and ceilings.
