Hillman Fasteners 47653 Drywall Screw Fine Thread 6x1-5/8

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 47653 is a fine-thread, bugle-head drywall screw designed for fastening drywall panels to metal studs. Heat-treated, hardened steel construction provides the shear strength needed to hold panels firmly without stripping the screw head under power driving. The bugle head geometry allows the screw to countersink flush with the drywall face without tearing the paper. A deep Phillips No. 2 drive recess reduces cam-out during installation. Sold by the pound, these screws are a standard fastener on commercial and residential interior framing jobs wherever metal stud systems are used.

This fastener is sized at No. 6 by 1-5/8 inches, a common length for single-layer 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch drywall attachment to light-gauge metal stud framing. Fine thread on this screw is the correct choice for metal studs, as the thread profile bites cleanly into the steel without requiring a pilot hole in standard light-gauge framing. This box is appropriate for drywall hangers, finish carpenters, and general contractors working on interior partition or ceiling assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install with a drywall screw gun or variable-speed drill fitted with a dimpler attachment to control countersink depth. No pilot hole is required for standard light-gauge metal studs. Drive screws until the bugle head sits just below the drywall surface without breaking through the face paper. Follow applicable local building codes and gypsum board manufacturer spacing requirements for fastener placement.
