Hillman Fasteners 1042430 Drywall Screw 10 X 3.75 in 1/4 Keg

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 1042430 is a black phosphate coarse-thread drywall screw sold in a 1/4 keg quantity pack. These are #10 x 3.75-inch screws designed for securing drywall panels to wood or light-gauge steel framing. The black phosphate coating resists corrosion during installation and reduces friction as the screw drives through gypsum board. The coarse thread pattern provides strong pull-through resistance in wood studs. This size is well suited for thicker drywall assemblies or multi-layer applications where a longer fastener is required. Drywall contractors, framers, and remodeling crews are the primary installers.

These screws are used in residential and light commercial drywall installation. The 3.75-inch length makes them appropriate for attaching 1.5-inch or double-layer gypsum board to wood framing, or for applications where deeper fastener penetration is needed. The coarse thread is the correct choice when fastening into wood studs or plates. The 1/4 keg format supplies a volume of fasteners suitable for larger jobs or ongoing stock at a job site or supply house.

Key Features

• Black phosphate coating reduces friction during drive and provides basic corrosion resistance
• Coarse thread pattern engineered for wood framing applications
• #10 x 3.75-inch size suits thick or double-layer drywall assemblies
• 1/4 keg bulk packaging reduces per-unit cost on large-volume jobs
• Bugle head design countersinks flush without tearing drywall facing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fastener for standard coarse-thread drywall screw applications in wood-framed residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Drywall screws of this type are installed by drywall mechanics and general contractors using a screw gun or drill with an adjustable clutch set to avoid overdriving. The screw should be driven until the bugle head is just dimpled below the drywall surface without breaking the paper facing. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing, typically referenced in the International Building Code or local gypsum board installation standards. Do not use coarse-thread drywall screws in metal framing; fine-thread screws are required for that application.
