The MINERALLAC 79626J is a No. 6 x 1-5/8 inch Phillips drive drywall screw designed for securing drywall panels to wood or light-gauge steel framing. The Phillips drive head allows for fast installation with a standard screwdriver bit. At 0.01 pounds per screw, this fastener is lightweight and suited for high-volume installations. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors reach for drywall screws like this when securing enclosures, wall assemblies, or utility panels during rough-in and finish work.

This drywall screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial construction applications. It is used when attaching standard drywall panels to wood studs or light metal framing. The 1-5/8 inch length provides adequate penetration for single-layer drywall installations on both wood and metal substrates.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed with a variable-speed drill or screw gun fitted with a No. 2 Phillips bit and a dimpler attachment to avoid overdriving. Drive screws until the head is just flush with or slightly dimpled below the drywall surface without breaking the paper facing. Follow local building codes and manufacturer panel installation guidelines for fastener spacing requirements.
