Engineered for precision and enduring stability, the fine thread black drywall screw is purpose-built for securing gypsum board to metal framing. Running your fingers along the shank reveals the precisely machined fine thread pitch, designed to carve securely into metal studs without stripping. The distinct matte black phosphate coating not only gives the fastener its signature dark appearance but also provides a micro-porous texture that grips drywall joint compound effectively, ensuring a perfectly smooth, invisible finish once the wall is painted. Driven by a standard #2 Phillips bugle head, these fasteners sink flush into the drywall surface, eliminating paper tearing and significantly accelerating the installation process for large-scale architectural projects.
Material: High-grade carbon steel, meticulously selected for an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, featuring a black phosphate finish to ensure excellent paint adhesion and long-term durability
Drive Type: #2 Phillips recess, precisely milled to prevent cam-out and work efficiently with standard drywall drivers for universal job-site compatibility
Head Style: Bugle head with a concave profile, engineered to compress the drywall paper gently and countersink flush without breaking the surface
Thread Type: Fine thread with 18 threads per inch, optimized to maximize engagement and holding power within metal stud cavities
Diameter: 4.2mm, a carefully balanced dimension that provides structural integrity while minimizing damage to the gypsum core
Length: 25mm to 75mm, offering versatile options to accommodate varying drywall thicknesses and multiple layers over stud depths
Corrosion Resistance: Passes a rigorous 200-hour salt spray test, guaranteeing reliable performance in humid micro-climates like basements, bathrooms, and utility rooms
Shear Strength: Delivers 800N in 0.6mm metal studs, providing the essential mechanical stability required for secure, code-compliant drywall attachment
Beyond standard moisture protection, the matte black phosphate finish offers a distinct tactile roughness that acts as a primer for drywall mud. This porous surface bonds tightly with joint compound, allowing finishers to conceal the fastener heads effortlessly. The result is a perfectly flat wall surface that requires less sanding and putty, saving valuable labor hours on site.
The gently sloped, concave bugle head is designed to press into the drywall paper rather than cutting it. As the screw sinks, it creates a clean dimple that sits perfectly flush. This prevents raised edges or torn paper fibers, streamlining the taping and mudding phases and reducing overall finishing time by up to 20%.
Featuring a surgically sharp, self-drilling tip, these screws instantly penetrate light-gauge metal studs (up to 0.8mm thick) with a crisp, satisfying crunch. This eliminates the need for pre-drilling, drastically reducing operator fatigue and preventing the metal framing from deforming or bending during high-volume installations. The geometry of the tip ensures clean penetration, maintaining the structural integrity of the stud.
Manufactured under a strict ISO-certified quality management system, every batch undergoes comprehensive torsion, hardness, and salt spray testing. These fasteners strictly comply with ANSI and DIN manufacturing standards, while also meeting RoHS and REACH environmental compliance, ensuring they pass the most demanding engineering inspections and project approvals.
