Hillman Fasteners 40921 Drywall Screw 8x3 in Fine Thread 50 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 40921 is a coarse-application drywall screw designed for securing drywall panels to wood framing. Each screw features a flat bugle head profile that self-countersinks flush with the drywall surface without tearing the paper facing. The fine thread pattern provides solid bite in wood studs, and the hardened steel construction with phosphate finish resists corrosion during normal interior use. At 3 inches in length with a No. 8 diameter, these screws are suited for attaching thicker drywall assemblies or double-layer installations. Each pack contains 50 screws. Installation requires a No. 2 Phillips bit and a variable-speed screw gun or drill driver.

These drywall screws are used in residential and light commercial construction and remodel applications. They are appropriate for attaching 5/8-inch or double-layer drywall to wood studs, blocking, and framing members. Drywall hangers, finish carpenters, and general contractors commonly specify this screw size for ceiling and wall assemblies where added holding depth is needed. The phosphate finish provides a surface that accepts joint compound and primer without bleeding rust through the finished wall surface.

Key Features

• Flat bugle head self-countersinks flush without damaging drywall paper facing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supply fastener for wood-framed drywall installations requiring a No. 8 x 3 inch fine-thread bugle head screw.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified carpenter, drywall hanger, or general contractor using a variable-speed screw gun set to the appropriate clutch depth to avoid overdriving. Drive screws until the head is just dimpled below the surface without breaking the drywall paper. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing on wall and ceiling assemblies. Always use the correct No. 2 Phillips bit to prevent cam-out and head damage.
