Usg 380161 Drywall Repair Clip Set 6 Clips 12 Screws

Product Description

The USG 380161 is a metal drywall repair clip set designed to patch large holes in gypsum wallboard without cutting back to studs. Each package includes 6 clips and 12 screws, providing everything needed to brace a patch in place before taping and finishing. The clips work with 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch thick drywall panels and are rated for holes larger than 2 inches. The clips snap into the existing opening and create an instant backing surface, allowing a cut patch to be secured directly without additional framing. Fire-rated construction complies with applicable building codes.

This product is used in residential and light commercial drywall repair applications where wall or ceiling panels have sustained damage too large for a simple compound fill. Installers cut the damaged area to a clean shape, slide the clips into the opening, tighten the screws to lock the clips against the back face of the existing panel, then set the patch piece and fasten it to the clips. Clips should be placed every 8 inches around the perimeter of the opening. Finishing with drywall tape and joint compound completes the repair.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by drywall finishers, general contractors, or experienced DIYers following standard drywall repair procedures. Power down any electrical circuits behind the repair area before beginning work. Insert clips into the opening, tighten screws until the clip flange seats flush against the back of the existing panel, then fasten the patch piece to the clips before applying tape and joint compound. Follow local building codes for fire-rated assemblies when working in rated wall or ceiling systems.
