Metallics DWC9M – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can black phosphate drywall screws be used outdoors or in a damp location?
No. Black phosphate is a dry interior coating only, it is not a corrosion barrier. The DWC9M is AISI 1018 steel with a black phosphate finish, which will rust in exposed or damp conditions and can bleed through paint or joint compound if it gets wet. For exterior decks, soffits or wet areas use a coated or galvanized exterior screw instead.
2) Are Metallics DWC9M screws Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government or public works job?
No. The DWC9M is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic sourcing requirement, this screw will not satisfy it.
3) What driver bit do I need for the Metallics DWC9M drywall screws?
A #2 Phillips. The head is a bugle Phillips recess, with recess diameter 0.176 to 0.201 in. and recess depth 0.124 in., which is standard #2 Phillips geometry. Note the box ships with a free #1 drive power bit, so if you are running these in a screw gun plan on supplying your own #2 bits.
4) Will the bugle head of these screws sit flush without tearing the drywall paper?
That is 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 the underside tapers rather than cutting a hard shoulder, letting it dimple the paper and sit just below the face for mudding. Run it with a depth-sensing gun or clutch so you stop at the dimple.
5) Are these drywall screws hard enough that they won't snap or strip when driven into dry lumber?
The DWC9M is heat treated to Rockwell C45-64, the hardness range drywall screws are run at so the recess takes a #2 Phillips under load without camming out. That hardness also means the shank is brittle rather than ductile, so do not use these as a structural or load bearing fastener; pick a structural wood screw or lag for that.
6) What thread does a #8 x 3 in. Metallics drywall screw use, and does it need a pilot hole?
It is a UNC coarse thread at 8 to 10 threads per inch with a sharp point, so it self-starts in softwood framing and board with no pilot hole. In hardwood, oak trim or near the end of a board, a pilot is still worth drilling to avoid splitting and to keep from twisting the head off.
7) How much does a 1000 count box of Metallics DWC9M 3 inch screws weigh?
About 10.8 lbs for the box, which is listed at 7.25 x 6.25 x 6 in. Useful if you are staging multiple boxes on a cart or checking freight weight on a bulk fastener order.
