Hillman Fasteners 116787 Exterior Screw 8x1-1/4 30 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 116787 is a multi-material exterior screw designed for trade and professional installation work across a wide range of substrates. These No. 8 x 1-1/4 inch flat head screws feature a star drive recess and a bronze epoxy premium coating engineered for corrosion resistance in exterior environments. The flat head profile seats flush with the work surface, making these suitable for finish-sensitive applications. Sold in a 30-pack, they are a practical choice for jobs requiring consistent fastener performance across wood, masonry, drywall, and plastic substrates.

These screws are suited for residential and light commercial exterior applications where a single fastener type must perform across multiple materials. Typical uses include decking trim, exterior sheathing, siding attachment, and general exterior woodwork. The multi-material design reduces the need to switch fastener types mid-job, which is useful for mixed-substrate assemblies common in renovation and new construction work. Licensed contractors, carpenters, and skilled tradespeople will find these appropriate for a range of exterior fastening tasks.

Key Features

• No. 8 x 1-1/4 inch flat head profile seats flush for clean exterior finishes
• Star drive recess reduces cam-out during installation
• Bronze epoxy premium coating provides corrosion resistance for exterior use
• Compatible with wood, masonry, drywall, and plastic substrates
• 30 screws per pack for multi-fastener jobs

Compatibility

Designed for use on wood, masonry, drywall, and plastic substrates in exterior applications. No specific equipment or system compatibility is required beyond a standard star drive bit.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a star drive bit sized to the No. 8 fastener. Pre-drilling is recommended when driving into hardwood or masonry to prevent splitting and ensure proper seating. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing and edge distance on structural and exterior assemblies. Do not overdrive the flat head, as this may compromise the epoxy coating and reduce corrosion resistance at the fastener site.
