Metallics DWC75B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a #8 x 2-1/2 in. coarse thread drywall screw work for hanging drywall on wood studs?
Yes. The Metallics DWC75B is a sharp point, coarse thread (UNC) drywall screw, which is the thread spacing meant for wood framing. The sharp point starts in wood without pre-drilling. For light gauge steel studs you want a fine thread, self-drilling point screw instead, not this one.
2) How many screws come in a box of DWC75B and what does it weigh?
They ship 5,000 to a box, and that box runs 50 lbs. Order minimum is 5,000 pieces, so this is a bulk buy rather than a handful for a punch list.
3) Can black phosphate drywall screws be used outdoors or in damp areas?
No. Black phosphate is a dry interior coating only, with minimal corrosion resistance. The DWC75B is steel with a black phosphate finish for interior drywall work. Exterior decks, soffits, or wet areas call for a coated or galvanized exterior screw.
4) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics DWC75B drywall screws?
A #2 Phillips. The bugle head has a Phillips recess 0.124 in. deep and 0.176 to 0.201 in. in diameter, which takes a standard #2 tip. Three power bits come in the box, so you don't have to source them separately.
5) Will the bugle head of these screws sit flush without tearing the drywall face?
That's what the bugle profile is for. The head measures 0.315 to 0.363 in. across with a head height of 0.020 to 0.039 in., so it seats just below the paper surface and dimples rather than cuts. Note there is no single industry standard for bugle head geometry, so slight variation between lots is normal.
6) Do Metallics DWC75B screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded project?
Metallics lists the DWC75B as both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, with country of origin recorded as multiple. If your spec requires domestic melt and manufacture documented per shipment, request the certification with the order.
7) Are drywall screws like these acceptable for mounting electrical boxes or strut in a mechanical room?
Metallics catalogues the DWC75B for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades, and shops use coarse thread bugle heads for attaching to wood blocking and backer board. They are a hardened interior wood fastener, not a structural or shear rated anchor, so for hanging pipe, strut, or equipment loads use the fastener the drawing calls out.
8) Are these screws hard enough to drive without snapping or stripping the head?
They're heat treated to Rockwell C45-64 and made from AISI 1018 steel, which is the normal hardness band for a case hardened drywall screw. That hardness is what lets the point bite and the recess hold a #2 Phillips under a collated or corded gun.
9) What is the thread pitch on these #8 coarse drywall screws?
The DWC75B runs 8 to 10 threads per inch, coarse spaced in a UNC form. That wide pitch is what grips wood framing and pulls the board tight in fewer turns than a fine thread screw.
