Product Description

The L H Dottie Co WR6158 is a No. 6 x 1-5/8-inch drywall screw designed for wood pocket and general fastening applications. This coarse-thread screw is sized for attaching drywall panels or light framing components to wood substrates. The sharp point and thread geometry allow for clean, fast driving without pre-drilling in most softwood applications. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors reach for this screw size when securing board material or light fixtures to wood framing during rough-in and finish work.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial construction and remodeling applications. It is commonly used when fastening drywall, underlayment, or similar sheet goods to wood framing members. The 1-5/8-inch length provides adequate bite into standard wood framing while keeping the tip clear of the opposite face. Trade professionals keep this size on hand for a wide range of board and panel installation tasks.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips-head bit with a screw gun or variable-speed drill set to an appropriate clutch depth to avoid overdriving. Power down any nearby electrical circuits before fastening near wiring runs. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing when installing drywall or structural panels. Do not use this screw as a structural connector where rated hardware is required by code.
