Countersunk Head Self-Tapping Screws
Product Overview
This light-gauge steel countersunk ribbed drywall screw is a specialized fastener designed for indoor light-gauge steel ceiling and partition systems, and is one of the core components for gypsum board installation. The model described here is 3.5×7×22-51 Cr6 with a blue-white zinc plating. Made of high-quality carbon steel with a blue-white zinc coating, it features an integrated design combining a countersunk head, ribs, and a self-tapping, sharp point. It can be driven directly through gypsum boards and securely bite into light-gauge steel studs without the need for pre-drilling, significantly improving installation efficiency while ensuring a flat surface and long-term stability for walls and ceilings. It is a commonly used screw in both residential and commercial ceiling and partition projects.
Product Applications
Primarily used in light-gauge steel ceiling and partition projects for both residential and commercial construction, for fastening gypsum boards, calcium silicate boards, and other panel materials to light-gauge steel framing. Also suitable for fixing indoor lightweight decorative panels, acoustic panels, and similar materials to metal furring channels.
Product Features
Ribbed Countersunk Head Design: Prevents gypsum board edge breakage and allows the screw head to sit completely flush with the board surface, ensuring a smooth wall finish without affecting subsequent painting or finishing work.
Specialized Thread for Light-Gauge Steel: The 3.5mm diameter combined with 22mm length is optimized for standard gypsum board and light-gauge steel stud assemblies, providing a strong bite and long-term resistance to loosening.
Blue-White Zinc Rust Protection: The coating is uniform and bright, offering basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor dry environments.
Phillips Recess Configuration: Compatible with power tools, screwdrivers, and other standard driving tools, ensuring convenient installation with minimal slippage.
