The Würth #9 x 3 inch coarse-thread drywall screw is a W-type fastener designed for securing gypsum board to wood stud framing in interior wall and ceiling construction. The bugle head seats cleanly into the drywall face without tearing the paper, and the black phosphate finish provides the friction reduction and indoor corrosion resistance standard for interior drywall work.
This is a W-type drywall screw, which means it is built for attaching gypsum board to wood framing. The 3 inch length drives through standard 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch drywall and reaches deep into a wood stud for solid thread engagement. At #9 gauge, it sits between the common #8 and #10 sizes, giving slightly more shank diameter and holding capacity than a #8 while remaining easy to drive with a standard drywall screwgun or drill driver. Typical use is ceiling or wall panels where a longer screw is needed to reach the framing member, or wherever extra withdrawal resistance matters.
The black phosphate coating on this screw does two things: it lowers the friction between the thread and the gypsum board as the screw seats, which helps the bugle head dimple in cleanly without spinning, and it provides the mild corrosion resistance appropriate for dry interior conditions. Black phosphate is the standard finish for interior drywall screws because its lubricity improves installation consistency across a full day of repetitive driving. This screw is for interior work in dry, climate-controlled environments only.
Drywall contractors, framing crews, and remodelers who hang board on wood stud walls and ceilings will find this screw sized for the most demanding standard tasks: full 5/8 inch fire-rated board, double-layer assemblies, or any situation where a 1-5/8 inch screw falls short. Cabinet shops doing site installs often keep a box on hand for backing and blocking work. The 1000-count box suits a single-day production run on a mid-size room or an ongoing supply for a shop that works through drywall fasteners regularly.
No. This is a coarse-thread W-type screw designed for wood stud framing. Metal stud work calls for a fine-thread S-type drywall screw with a self-tapping point. Using a coarse-thread screw in metal studs will not produce reliable thread engagement.
A 3 inch screw drives through 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch drywall and still achieves substantial embedment in the wood stud behind it. It is also the right choice for double-layer gypsum assemblies where two layers of 5/8 inch board are stacked.
No. The black phosphate finish is rated for dry indoor environments. For exterior, wet-area, or high-humidity applications, choose a screw with galvanized or other corrosion-resistant coating appropriate for those conditions.
A standard #2 Phillips bit, the same bit used for the vast majority of drywall screw work. A drywall screwgun set to the correct depth stop is the fastest way to drive these consistently without overdriving.
No. The bugle head is designed to self-countersink into gypsum board as the screw is driven. No pre-drilling is needed. The curved underside of the head distributes driving pressure so the head seats slightly below the face paper without tearing it.
When the job calls for a 3 inch drywall screw that drives clean, seats flush, and holds in wood framing all day long, this Würth #9 coarse-thread bugle head screw delivers exactly that for interior wall and ceiling work.
