Hillman Fasteners 42400 Drywall Screw 1 in Phillips 100pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42400 is a number 6 by 1 inch coarse-thread drywall screw designed for fastening drywall panels to wood framing. The Phillips bugle head countersinks cleanly into gypsum board without tearing the paper face. Constructed from hardened steel, these screws resist shear stress during installation and maintain holding strength in typical drywall applications. Each pack contains 100 screws, making it a practical quantity for residential and light commercial drywall work. Drywall installers, carpenters, and general contractors are the primary installers of this fastener.

The 42400 is suited for single-layer drywall installation over wood studs, blocking, and nailers. The 1 inch length is appropriate for attaching standard half-inch drywall to framing members. The coarse thread provides strong pull-through resistance in wood substrates. The bugle head profile is engineered to dimple the drywall surface at the correct depth without penetrating the paper, which is critical for a proper finish coat bond. This screw also functions as a general-purpose multi-use fastener for light wood-to-wood assembly tasks on the job site.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drywall hangers, carpenters, or general contractors using a drywall screw gun or variable-speed drill with a Phillips bit. Set the clutch depth on the screw gun to dimple the drywall surface without breaking through the paper face. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing, typically outlined in local residential or commercial construction standards. Avoid overdriving, which weakens the fastener hold and damages the drywall surface.
