Minerallac 79617J – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will Minerallac #6 drywall screws bite into metal studs, or are they wood-stud only?
These are sharp point, coarse thread drywall screws, so they work in wood studs and in light 25 gauge metal studs only. Anything heavier than 25 gauge needs a self-drilling fine thread (S-point) screw instead, because the sharp point will walk and spin rather than cut the steel.
2) What lengths do the Minerallac #6 black phosphate drywall screws come in, and which length do I need for 1/2 inch board?
Two lengths are offered: 1 inch (part 79617J) and 2 inch (part 79634J). For a single layer of 1/2 inch drywall on wood framing the 1 inch screw gives plenty of embedment. Go to the 2 inch when you are going through 5/8 inch board, doubling up layers, or shooting through furring or existing board into the stud.
3) What driver bit do I need for these Minerallac drywall screws?
A #2 Phillips bit. That is the standard drywall gun bit, so no special tooling and no changeover if you are already running a collated-style #2 Phillips setup on the job.
4) Will the head sit flush without tearing the paper face?
Yes, that is what the bugle head is for. The head measures 0.331 in diameter with a 0.026 head height, so it dimples into the paper and seats below the surface instead of cutting it, leaving a shallow pocket you can fill and sand.
5) Are black phosphate drywall screws OK for a damp area like a bathroom or exterior-facing wall?
Black phosphate gives moderate corrosion resistance and is intended for interior drywall work. For bathrooms, basements, or anywhere there is standing humidity or cement board, use a corrosion resistant coated or stainless fastener rather than a phosphate screw. These Minerallac screws are plain steel with a phosphate finish.
6) Will these screws hold ceiling drywall overhead?
The coarse thread and sharp point are made for wood and 25 gauge steel framing, which includes ceiling joists, and the 2 inch length gives the deeper embedment you want overhead. On ceilings keep your spacing tight and set the heads just below the paper, since an overdriven bugle head loses most of its pull-through resistance.
7) Can I use these for hanging light electrical boxes or conduit straps on drywall?
Not on their own. A drywall screw is a thin, brittle fastener meant to clamp board to framing, not to carry hanging load, and it has no shear rating for support work. Hit solid framing with a proper machine or sheet metal screw, or use a rated anchor where there is no stud.
8) Where are Minerallac drywall screws made?
Taiwan. They are steel with a black head and black phosphate finish, in #6 size.
