Minerallac 79636J – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Are Minerallac #6 x 2-1/4" fine thread drywall screws for metal studs or wood framing?
Metal studs. The fine thread on the Minerallac 79636J is cut for attaching drywall to metal studs from 25 gauge through 20 gauge, and the sharp point taps the steel without pre-drilling. For wood framing you want a coarse thread drywall screw instead, since fine threads strip out and pull poorly in lumber.
2) Do I need to pre-drill metal studs for these screws?
No. The sharp point version taps its own hole in 25 to 20 gauge steel studs as you drive it. Heavier steel, above 20 gauge, calls for a self-drilling drill-point screw instead, since a sharp point will walk and stall in thick material.
3) Will a bugle head screw dimple the board without tearing the paper?
That is what the bugle head is for. The tapered underside of the head on these #6 screws seats flush and forms a shallow dimple you can mud over, instead of cutting through the face paper the way a flat or pan head does. Head diameter is 0.331 inch, so it bears on enough paper to hold without punching through at normal driver depth.
4) Is black phosphate finish OK for exterior or damp locations?
Black phosphate is a light corrosion-resistant coating meant for interior, dry construction. On the Minerallac 79636J it keeps the steel from surface rusting in storage and during a normal interior build. For exterior sheathing, wet areas, or cement board outdoors, specify a screw with a coating rated for exposure rather than phosphate.
5) What driver bit do these Minerallac drywall screws take?
Phillips drive. A standard #2 Phillips bit is the normal fit for a #6 drywall screw, and the recess is shaped to resist cam-out when run with a drywall gun or a depth-setting collated driver.
6) How many Minerallac 79636J screws come in a jar and what is the thread count?
The 79636J is packed 100 to a jar, with an 18 threads per inch fine thread. The jar pack suits punch-list and small repair work on metal stud partitions; for a full hang you would buy multiples or go to bulk.
