Hillman Fasteners 47653 Fine Thread Drywall Screw 1.625 in

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 47653 is a fine thread drywall screw designed for securing drywall panels to metal framing and metal stud assemblies. At 1.625 inches in length with a fine thread profile, this screw is engineered to bite cleanly into metal studs without stripping. Fine thread drywall screws generate more holding power in metal substrates compared to coarse thread versions, making them the correct choice when attaching wallboard to light-gauge steel framing. This box contains 12 screws. Electricians, drywall hangers, and general contractors keep these on hand for partition wall and ceiling board work.

Fine thread drywall screws at 1.625 inches are a standard fastener for single-layer 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch drywall installation over metal framing. They are used in commercial and light commercial interiors where metal stud framing is the code-preferred or code-required substrate. They are also used in residential construction wherever metal stud framing is specified. The 1.625-inch length provides adequate penetration through drywall into the metal stud flange for a secure attachment.

Installation Notes

Fine thread drywall screws are installed by qualified drywall hangers or general contractors using a variable-speed screw gun or drywall screw setter to control drive depth. Set the clutch to prevent overdriving, which dimples the paper face without breaking it. Follow local building codes and drywall manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and penetration depth requirements.
