Hillman Fasteners 47102 Fine Drywall Screw 1.25 in 5 Lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 47102 is a fine-thread drywall screw sold in a 5-pound box, sized at 1.25 inches in length. Fine-thread drywall screws are engineered for fastening gypsum board to metal framing or steel studs, where the tighter thread pitch provides greater holding strength in harder substrate materials. Each box contains a bulk quantity suited for commercial drywall work or large residential projects. This fastener is a standard item installed by drywall finishers, general contractors, and experienced DIYers working with metal stud framing systems.

This screw is used in interior wall and ceiling assemblies where drywall panels are attached to light-gauge steel framing. The 1.25-inch length is appropriate for single-layer half-inch or five-eighths-inch drywall installations to metal studs. The fine thread design distinguishes it from coarse-thread variants, which are intended for wood framing. Sold in a 5-pound box, this product is packaged in a case of 4 boxes per the supplier unit of measure, making it practical for stocking a job site or supply room.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drywall contractors or general carpenters using a screw gun or variable-speed drill with a drywall dimpler attachment. Screw depth should be set so the head sits just below the drywall surface without tearing the face paper. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing on wall and ceiling assemblies. Avoid overdriving, which can compromise holding strength and damage the drywall surface.
