A good rule of thumb is that the screw should drive through to about

screwed to a 2" thick piece should have a 2" screw.



Actually the rule of thumb is close to 2/3's of the thickness of the
bottom piece plus the thickness of the top piece.
OK, again assuming the 6" wall and 1/2" sheetrock, you're going to use
4-1/2" screws? The electrician and plumber aren't going to like you.

If the electrician's and plumber's work is impacted by the hanging of
drywall, then it's their own fault. They missed a step.
