Value Collection 3DWS2M No. 8 3in Drywall Screw 2000 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3DWS2M is a No. 8 coarse-thread drywall screw designed for fastening gypsum wallboard to wood framing. At 3 inches overall length, it provides solid bite into standard wood studs through single- or double-layer drywall applications. The bugle head profile seats flush without tearing the paper face, and the Phillips drive recess is compatible with standard drywall screw guns and bit-tip drills. The black phosphate finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces surface glare during installation. Constructed from Grade 1018 steel, this screw offers the ductility and shear strength needed for wall and ceiling board work. Sold in a 2000-piece package, making it suitable for full-room and multi-room drywall projects.

These screws are used in residential and light commercial drywall installations where gypsum board is applied over wood studs, furring strips, or similar wood substrates. The 3-inch length accommodates single-layer half-inch or five-eighths-inch board fastened into nominal two-by-four framing, as well as double-layer assemblies. Licensed drywall contractors and finish carpenters are the primary users, though experienced owner-builders working on permitted residential projects also commonly install this fastener type.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard coarse-thread drywall screw for use in wood-framed residential and light commercial construction assemblies. Consult applicable building codes and gypsum board manufacturer fastening schedules to confirm spacing and penetration requirements for your specific assembly.

Installation Notes

Drywall screws of this type are driven by licensed drywall installers or finish carpenters using a variable-speed screw gun equipped with a dimpler nose or a drill fitted with a drywall screw bit tip. Drive the screw until the bugle head is set just below the board surface without breaking through the face paper. Overdriving reduces holding strength and creates voids that require additional compound work. Follow local building code fastening schedules for stud spacing and screw pattern requirements.
