Hillman Fasteners 116791 Exterior Screw 8x2.5 in 20 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 116791 is a No. 8 x 2.5-inch flat head, star drive exterior screw with a bronze epoxy premium coating. Sold in a 20-pack, these multi-material screws are engineered for outdoor and interior applications where corrosion resistance and holding strength are critical. The flat head profile sits flush on installation, and the star drive recess reduces cam-out during driving. Licensed contractors, carpenters, and general tradespeople reach for this fastener when working across mixed substrates in a single job phase.

These screws are rated for use on wood, masonry, drywall, and plastic, making them a versatile choice for decking, framing, trim, and structural sheathing projects. The bronze epoxy coating provides a corrosion-resistant barrier suited for exterior exposure. Each pack contains 20 screws, making it practical for smaller repair runs or supplemental stock on a larger job site.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or skilled tradespeople using a star drive bit matched to the recess size. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwood or masonry substrates to prevent splitting and ensure proper seating. Always select fastener length and gauge appropriate for the load and substrate thickness per applicable building code requirements.
