Product Description and Name
Standard Name: Drywall Screw, Bugle Head, Coarse Thread, Zinc Plated.
Common Chinese Name: Bugle Head Coarse Thread Drywall Screw, Electrogalvanized Drywall Screw, Zinc-Plated Coarse Thread Self-Tapping Drywall Screw.
Product Definition: A specialized screw designed to secure drywall or plasterboard to wooden studs. Key features include: a bugle head that countersinks smoothly without tearing the surface paper; coarse thread for rapid penetration and strong grip in wood; and a zinc plating (ZP) surface for basic rust protection. Typically installed using a Phillips screwdriver.
Bugle Head Drywall Screw Coarse ZP Key Features
Bugle Head Design: The bugle head gradually embeds into the paper during installation, preventing
tearing of the drywall surface and ensuring a smooth finish for easy putty application.
Coarse Thread: The sparse, coarse threads are ideal for securing to wood joists, providing excellent
grip and quick engagement.
Zinc Plated (ZP): Provides basic rust protection and a metallic sheen, suitable for dry indoor environments.
Drive Type: Typically Phillips head (#2 point), easy to drive with a power screwdriver and prevents slippage.
Various Sizes: Commonly #6 or #8 diameter, length 1"-3" (25-75mm), sharp self-tapping tip.

Working Principle
Self-Tapping Entry: The tip penetrates the drywall, and the coarse thread cuts and compresses the
board and wood joists, creating a strong grip.
Head Embedding: The flared head gradually sinks into the paper surface, generating axial clamping
force to secure the board without protruding from the surface.
Load Distribution: Coarse teeth deeply grip the wooden joists, evenly distributing pressure to prevent
loosening; the zinc plating reduces friction and improves installation efficiency.
Installation Control: Use a screwdriver to control the depth, avoiding excessive depth tearing the paper or
insufficient depth causing instability; the principle involves material compression and friction interlocking.

Product Applications
Interior Decoration: Fixing drywall to wooden joists, ceiling or partition construction.
Home DIY: Quick and reliable wall panel installation, cabinet fixing or repair.
Commercial Buildings: Office or shop partitions, providing a smooth surface for easy finishing.
Furniture Manufacturing: Lightweight panel connections, economical for non-humid environments.
Timber Structure Auxiliary: Combined with drywall systems with timber frames, ensuring stability.
