Carbon Steel Drywall Screws
Product Overview
The 6-18×25 black phosphate drywall screw is a dedicated fastener for gypsum board, manufactured from 1022A low‑carbon steel with quenching, and featuring a matte black phosphate surface finish. With a shank diameter of 3.5 mm, 18‑thread fine thread, total length of 25 mm, and equipped with a bugle countersunk head, cross recess, and self‑tapping sharp point, it requires no pre‑drilling and is suitable for 12.5 mm standard gypsum board. It is a general‑purpose fastening screw for residential and commercial ceiling and partition projects.
Product Applications
Residential Scenarios: Single‑layer gypsum board ceilings, wall features, and lightweight partitions in dry areas such as living rooms and bedrooms, suitable for wood framing and light‑gauge steel framing.
Commercial Scenarios: Large‑area light‑gauge steel gypsum board partitions and simple ceiling installations in offices and retail spaces, for batch installation.
Usage Restriction: Suitable for dry indoor environments only. Not for use in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, or outdoor humid areas, as it is prone to rusting and staining the wall surface.
Product Features
Bugle Countersunk Head: Sits completely flush with the gypsum board without tearing the paper face, leaving a neat dimple after installation for easy finishing with joint compound.
Fine Thread with Sharp Point: The fine‑pitch threads provide secure engagement; the hardened, sharp point offers strong penetration, reducing the risk of stripping or breaking when fixing to light‑gauge steel framing.
Standard Cross Recess: Compatible with various electric and manual screwdrivers, withstands high‑torque driving without excessive bit wear, ensuring efficient installation.
Black Phosphate Coating: Self‑lubricating, reducing driving resistance; cost‑effective, and the surface facilitates adhesion of joint compound and paint.
Quenched Steel: Balanced hardness and toughness ensure long‑term fastening without loosening or fracture, maintaining stable wall and ceiling structures.
