L H Dottie Co WRT6158 Drywall Screw 1-5/8 in 400 Pack

Product Description

The L H Dottie Co WRT6158 is a coarse-thread drywall screw sized at No. 6 by 1-5/8 inches, sold in a 400-piece pack. Designed for attaching drywall panels to wood framing members, these screws feature a bugle head profile that countersinks flush with the board surface without tearing the paper facing. The fine-pitch thread engages wood studs and blocking securely, reducing the need for pilot holes on standard framing lumber. This pack size suits production-rate work where replenishing fasteners mid-job slows a crew down.

These screws are used in residential and light commercial interior construction wherever gypsum wallboard is fastened to wood framing. Typical applications include single-layer and double-layer drywall assemblies on walls and ceilings. The 1-5/8 inch length is the standard choice for attaching 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch drywall panels to dimensional lumber. Finishers and drywall hangers working production jobs will find the 400-piece pack a practical working quantity.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Drywall screws should be driven by a drywall screw gun or drill with a depth-sensitive nose piece to achieve consistent countersink depth without over-driving. Drive screws perpendicular to the panel face and space them per applicable building code requirements, typically following IRC or local jurisdiction framing and fastening schedules. Avoid over-driving, which breaks the paper face and reduces holding strength. Do not use these screws for metal framing applications, which require fine-thread drywall screws rated for that substrate.
