Hillman Fasteners 47125 Coarse Thread Drywall Screws 1.25 in

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 47125 is a coarse thread drywall screw sold in a 5-pound box, designed for fastening drywall panels to wood framing. The coarse thread profile bites aggressively into wood studs, providing strong holding power and consistent countersink depth. At 1.25 inches in length, these screws are well suited for attaching standard half-inch drywall to wood framing members. The bugle head design minimizes paper tearing and seats flush without additional finishing. This is a bulk trade pack intended for production drywall hanging by professional drywall installers and framing crews.

These screws are used in residential and light commercial interior construction where drywall panels are fastened to wood-framed walls and ceilings. The 1.25-inch length is a standard choice for single-layer half-inch drywall installation over wood framing. The coarse thread is not appropriate for metal framing applications, where fine-thread drywall screws are required. Each box contains 5 pounds of screws, and the product is packaged with 4 boxes per case, making it practical for staging material on larger jobs.

Key Features

• 1.25-inch length suits single-layer half-inch drywall over wood framing
• Coarse thread for maximum grip in wood studs and blocking
• Bugle head seats flush and reduces paper face tearing
• 5-pound bulk box reduces reloading time on production installs
• Packaged 4 boxes per case for jobsite staging efficiency

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard half-inch drywall panels fastened to wood framing. Coarse thread fasteners are not intended for metal stud or track applications.

Installation Notes

Drywall screws should be driven with a drywall screw gun or a drill fitted with a dimpler attachment to achieve consistent countersink depth without damaging the paper face. Drive screws until the head is just below the surface, leaving a slight dimple without tearing the paper. Follow local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing, which typically reference IRC or IBC requirements for interior assemblies. Do not overdrive screws, as this compromises holding strength and requires additional compound to fill.
