Itw Buildex 8N175SPLB/500 No. 8 Drywall Screw 500 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 8N175SPLB/500 is a No. 8 flat head drywall screw designed for securing gypsum wallboard to wood or light-gauge steel framing. The Phillips drive head allows for fast, controlled installation with standard drill-drivers used in drywall finishing work. Each screw measures 1.75 inches in overall length and carries a black oxide finish that provides a degree of corrosion resistance in interior applications. This SKU ships as a 500-count package, making it a practical stocking unit for drywall contractors, finish carpenters, and general construction crews running high-volume installations.

These screws are suited for residential and light commercial interior construction where drywall panels are being attached to wood studs or metal framing members. The flat head profile seats flush with or slightly below the board surface, allowing compound to skim cleanly over the fastener without raised edges. The No. 8 thread size and 1.75-inch length are among the most commonly specified dimensions for single-layer half-inch drywall applications. The 500-count pack quantity supports full-room or multi-room installations without frequent resupply.

Installation Notes

Drywall screws are installed by licensed drywall contractors or general carpenters using a screw gun or variable-speed drill-driver with a drywall dimpler bit. Set driver clutch depth to sink the head just below the board surface without breaking the face paper. Follow local building codes and applicable framing specifications for fastener spacing. Do not overtighten, as cracking the gypsum face paper reduces holding strength and requires additional finishing work.
