Hillman Fasteners 42409 Drywall Screw 6x1-5/8 in 100 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42409 is a coarse-thread drywall screw designed for securing drywall panels and general multi-use fastening applications. The Phillips bugle head allows the screw to seat flush with or just below the drywall surface without tearing the paper facing. Constructed from hardened steel, each screw measures No. 6 diameter by 1-5/8 inches in length. The coarse thread provides strong pull-through resistance in wood studs and framing. Each package contains 100 screws. This fastener is installed by drywall hangers, carpenters, and general contractors as a standard consumable on residential and light commercial projects.

This screw is suited for attaching 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch drywall panels to wood framing members. The 1-5/8-inch length is the standard choice for single-layer drywall installation over wood studs, providing adequate thread penetration into the framing without over-driving. The coarse thread pattern is matched to wood-stud applications. The package quantity of 100 makes this suitable for smaller jobs, patch work, or restocking on larger projects.

Installation Notes

Drywall installers and carpenters should use a variable-speed screw gun or drill fitted with a dimpler bit to control drive depth and avoid over-driving. Power down any electrical circuits routed through the wall cavity before fastening to avoid contact with wiring. Follow local building codes and gypsum board manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing, typically 16 inches on center along field and edges. Do not substitute coarse-thread screws for fine-thread screws when fastening to metal framing.
