Nsi Industries jwdw1v Drywall Screw 8-36 X 0.5 in 500 Count

Product Description

The NSI INDUSTRIES jwdw1v is a No. 8-36 by 0.5 inch Phillips wafer head drywall screw designed for fastening drywall and light-gauge steel framing components. The fine thread and self-piercing sharp point allow the screw to penetrate gypsum board and metal track without pre-drilling. A zinc finish provides corrosion resistance suited to interior construction environments. Sold in a 500-unit package, this fastener is a standard production consumable for drywall hangers and framing contractors who need consistent, reliable pull-through performance on finish work.

This screw is used in residential and light commercial interior construction, primarily for attaching drywall sheets to metal stud framing. The wafer head profile seats flush against the board face, reducing the risk of surface blowout while providing a wide bearing surface. The fine 36-thread pitch is matched to thin-gauge metal stud applications. It is installed with a standard Phillips No. 2 bit using a variable-speed drywall screwdriver or drill/driver set to a depth-sensitive clutch.

Key Features

• No. 8-36 fine thread pitch optimized for metal stud drywall attachment
• Self-piercing sharp point eliminates pre-drilling in light-gauge steel
• Wafer head profile seats flush to minimize surface damage to drywall face
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 bit and drywall screwgun
• Zinc finish for corrosion resistance in interior applications
• 500-count unit quantity for production-volume jobsite use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fastener for drywall installation onto light-gauge metal stud framing in standard interior construction applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drywall mechanics using a drywall screwgun or drill/driver fitted with a depth-sensitive clutch and a Phillips No. 2 bit. Set clutch depth to drive the screw head just below the board surface without breaking the paper face. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing, typically referenced in local amendments to the International Building Code. Do not overdrive — a broken paper face reduces holding strength and requires additional fasteners.
