Bugle-Head Drywall Screws for Gypsum Board on Wood or Light-Gauge Steel Studs

Product Information

Drywall Screws attach interior gypsum board to wood studs or compatible light-gauge steel framing. The bugle head is shaped to seat below the board surface for joint-compound finishing while retaining the paper facing when correctly driven. This range uses a Phillips recess and black phosphate finish. Select length and diameter for the board thickness, number of layers and required engagement in the framing.

Coarse-thread, sharp-point screws are normally selected for gypsum board to wood framing. Fine-thread screws are selected for compatible light-gauge steel studs; choose a sharp point or a self-drilling point according to the actual steel thickness and screw specification. These are different variants, not one screw suitable for every substrate. Black phosphate drywall screws are intended for dry interior service, and the finish is not an exterior corrosion-protection specification.

Use a Drywall Screw Gun or a Drill/Driver fitted with a suitable depth-stop attachment and the exact matching Phillips bit. Adjust the stop so the head sits slightly below the surface without tearing the paper or crushing the gypsum, and check representative fixings as work proceeds. Follow the board or tested assembly specification for spacing, edge distances, screw length and penetration, especially for fire-rated walls and ceilings. Confirm loose or collated supply against the tool; drywall screws are not substitutes for structural timber screws, cement-board screws or masonry anchors.
