Hillman Fasteners 47667 Coarse Thread Drywall Screw 3in

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 47667 is a 3-inch coarse thread drywall screw sold in a box of 12 pounds. Coarse thread drywall screws are the standard fastener for attaching drywall panels to wood framing studs. The coarse thread profile bites aggressively into wood substrate, pulling the drywall panel tight against the framing without tearing the paper face. These screws are a staple on residential and light commercial drywall installations where wood stud framing is the backing material.

This fastener is used in residential and light commercial construction for securing gypsum drywall panels to wood-framed walls and ceilings. Coarse thread screws are the correct choice when the substrate is wood framing, as opposed to fine thread screws used with metal stud framing. Typical applications include new construction drywall hang, remodel work, and patch repairs where full-length fasteners are required.

Key Features

• 3-inch length provides adequate penetration into wood stud framing behind standard drywall thickness
• Coarse thread profile designed specifically for wood framing substrate
• Bugle head geometry countersinks flush without tearing drywall face paper
• Sold by the box for jobsite quantity use

Compatibility

Designed as a coarse thread drywall fastener for use with wood stud framing in standard gypsum drywall installation applications.

Installation Notes

Drywall screws are installed by carpenters and drywall hangers using a screw gun or drill driver set to the correct clutch depth to seat the head just below the surface without breaking the paper face. Drive screws perpendicular to the panel face and into solid framing. Do not overdrive — a dimple without a paper tear is the correct finish. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing requirements on walls and ceilings.
