Metallics DWS4MD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is black phosphate drywall screw finish OK for exterior or damp areas?
No. Black phosphate is a dry interior finish, it slows surface rust in storage but it is not a corrosion coating. The DWS4MD is steel black phosphate, so keep it to interior board work. For exterior sheathing, wet rooms, or anywhere exposed, go to a coated or galvanized fastener.
2) What driver bit do I need for Metallics DWS drywall screws?
A #2 Phillips. The drive is Phillips with a recess depth of 0.106 in. and a recess diameter of 0.176 to 0.201 in., which is what a standard #2 bit seats into. Keep spare bits on hand on a big board job, the recess is what wears first.
3) Will the bugle head sit flush without tearing the paper face?
That is what the bugle profile is for. The head measures 0.315 to 0.347 in. across with a head height of 0.020 to 0.031 in., so the tapered underside dimples the paper and seats below the surface for taping rather than cutting through it. Set your screw gun depth clutch so the head stops just under flush.
4) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics DWS4MD, and is there an order minimum?
They ship in a jar with a 1,000 piece order minimum, and the jar weighs 4.75 lbs. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request.
5) Are Metallics DWS drywall screws made in the USA, and do they meet Buy American requirements?
Country of origin is the United States and Metallics lists the screws as made in the USA. They are not flagged as Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, so if your project carries a federal domestic preference clause, verify against the specific clause before you spec them.
6) Can I use these drywall screws to fasten light gauge aluminum trim or framing?
Yes, within reason. Metallics lists the field application as hardwood, light gauge steel and light gauge aluminum, so the sharp point and fine UNF thread will take in thin aluminum. They are a board fastener, not a structural one, and the black phosphate finish rules out anything exposed to weather.
7) My spec sheet lists an exact bugle head diameter. Will the Metallics DWS4MD match it?
Close, but Metallics is explicit that there is no single industry standard for bugle head drywall screw dimensions, and publishes its figures as a guide with slight deviations acceptable. The stated head width is 0.315 to 0.347 in. and head height 0.020 to 0.031 in. If your submittal demands a hard dimensional tolerance, treat those as nominal ranges rather than fixed values.
