Hillman Fasteners 47656 Fine Thread Drywall Screw 2.5 in

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 47656 is a fine thread drywall screw sized at 2.5 inches, designed for securing drywall panels to metal framing studs. Fine thread screws are the standard choice for metal stud applications because the tighter thread pitch grips sheet metal without stripping. This fastener is sold by the box, with a package quantity of 12 units per box. Drywall installers, finish carpenters, and general contractors use this screw during interior framing and drywall hanging phases of residential and light commercial construction.

This screw is suited for drywall installation projects where panels are being fastened to metal framing. The 2.5-inch length provides adequate penetration for single-layer drywall over metal stud assemblies. It is commonly used in commercial interior buildout, apartment construction, and any application requiring metal stud framing with standard drywall panels.

• 2.5-inch length suitable for single-layer drywall-to-metal-stud applications

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drywall mechanics and general construction trades using a screw gun or variable-speed drill with a Phillips bit. Drive screws until the head sits slightly below the drywall surface without breaking the face paper. Avoid overdriving, which reduces holding strength. Follow applicable local building codes for fastener spacing on drywall assemblies.
