Product Description

The Power Pro 48889 #9 x 1‑1/4" Gray Ceramic Wafer‑Head Cement Board Screws are engineered to deliver exceptional performance, fast installation, and long‑lasting durability for all cement board fastening applications. Purpose‑built for securing cement board to wood or light‑gauge metal studs, these screws feature a full suite of professional‑grade design elements that ensure fast driving, crack‑resistant seating, and superior corrosion protection.

A textured wafer‑style head enhances mortar adhesion and ensures a clean, flush finish—an essential requirement for tile backer board, shower walls, tub surrounds, countertops, and subfloor applications. The T20 star drive offers six points of contact for improved torque transfer and reduced cam‑out, while the included Pro‑Stik bit provides stable, one‑handed driving even in challenging installation environments.

The advanced high‑low dual‑lead thread design drives smoothly into dense cement board, while a Type‑17 self‑piercing point eliminates the need for pre‑drilling—quickly penetrating both wood and 26–20 gauge metal studs. A twist‑shank design clears debris as the screw advances, helping prevent board cracking and ensuring clean, reliable fastening.

Every screw is coated with a gray ceramic epoxy finish offering robust corrosion resistance for both interior and exterior use, including applications involving treated lumber. The 48889 screw pack arrives in a convenient, reusable, stackable container, perfect for professional installers who need efficient on‑the‑job mobility.

These high‑performance cement board screws are ideal for tile installers, remodelers, contractors, and DIYers who demand fast installation, reduced failures, and long‑term fastening security.
