Itw Buildex 8N200SPLB/100 Flat Head Drywall Screw 100pk

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 8N200SPLB/100 is a No. 8 flat head Phillips drive drywall screw designed for fastening drywall panels to wood or steel framing. At 2 inches overall length, this screw seats flush with the board surface when properly driven, leaving a clean recess for finishing compound. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces glare during installation. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel, these screws deliver consistent drive performance across standard residential and light commercial drywall applications. Each package contains 100 screws, making it a practical quantity for single-room or multi-board jobs. Licensed drywall installers and general contractors are the primary installers of this fastener.

These drywall screws are suited for single-layer drywall installation to wood studs or light-gauge steel framing. The 2-inch length is commonly used for attaching 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch drywall panels where penetration depth into the framing member is a priority. The flat head profile and Phillips drive pattern are compatible with standard drywall screw guns and variable-speed drills equipped with dimpler attachments. This package of 100 is appropriate for smaller scopes of work or when supplementing existing stock on an active job site.

Installation Notes

Drywall screws should be installed by qualified drywall installers or general contractors following applicable local building codes. Power down any electrical circuits behind the wall cavity before fastening near outlet boxes or framing with wiring. Use a drywall screw gun or drill with a depth-sensitive dimpler attachment to achieve consistent recess depth without breaking the paper face. Do not overdrive, as excessive depth damages the gypsum core and reduces holding strength.
