The Simpson DWFSDQ114PS DWFSD Drywall-to-CFS Collated Screw is a self-drilling fastener from Simpson engineered specifically for attaching drywall to cold-formed steel framing at recommended thicknesses of 54 and 43 mils (16 and 18 ga.). Built for use with the Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving system, this #6 x 1-1/4 in. screw is designed to reduce driving force and increase installation speed, making it a dependable choice for professional drywall contractors and steel-framing applications that demand consistent, high-volume performance.

Key Features

• Bugle head - sits flush against drywall surfaces without tearing the paper face, producing a clean, finish-ready result.
• Fine threads at 20 TPI - optimized for secure engagement in cold-formed steel, delivering reliable holding strength in metal-framing applications.
• #2 drill point - self-drilling tip eliminates the need for pre-drilling, saving time on every fastener in steel-framing installations.
• Curved collation - compatible with the Quik Drive auto-feed system, keeping screws feeding smoothly and reducing jams during continuous driving.
• #2 Phillips drive with included bit - the driver bit ships inside every box so crews can get to work immediately; replacement bit model BIT2P is available separately.
• 1-1/4 in. length - sized correctly for standard drywall-to-CFS assemblies at the recommended steel thicknesses, preventing over-penetration while maintaining pull-through resistance.
• Quik Guard coating - provides a level of corrosion resistance equivalent to hot-dip galvanization (ASTM A153, Class D) in some exposures, and is suitable for use in pressure-treated lumber applications, extending fastener service life in demanding environments.
• 2,500-count packaging - bulk quantity reduces replenishment interruptions on large drywall jobs, keeping crews productive throughout the workday.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for drywall-to-steel framing - the DWFSD self-drilling design is specifically engineered for fastening drywall to cold-formed steel at 54 and 43 mil thicknesses, removing guesswork about compatibility and ensuring the right fastener is matched to the assembly from the start.
• Auto-feed system integration cuts installation time - designed to work with the Simpson Quik Drive PRO200G2 or PRO200SG2 auto-feed screw driving systems, these curved-collated screws reduce driving force and dramatically increase the number of fasteners set per hour compared to manual driving methods.
• Corrosion resistance built into the coating - Quik Guard coating delivers protection equivalent to hot-dip galvanization (ASTM A153, Class D) in some exposures, making these screws a sound choice wherever long-term fastener integrity matters, including contact with pressure-treated lumber.
• Everything needed to start driving is in the box - each package includes a #2 Phillips driver bit, so there is no need to source accessories separately before beginning work on a drywall or cold-formed steel framing project.
