Hillman Fasteners 116905 Exterior Screw 1/4x2-1/4 in 46 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 116905 is a multi-material exterior screw designed for demanding outdoor fastening applications. Featuring a hex washer head and star drive configuration, this screw delivers strong torque transfer and a secure, low-profile seat. The bronze epoxy coating provides corrosion resistance suited for exterior exposure. Each pack contains 46 screws measuring 1/4 inch in diameter by 2-1/4 inches in length. This fastener is installed by contractors, carpenters, and skilled tradespeople working on exterior construction, decking, and structural framing projects where a single fastener must perform across multiple substrate types.

This screw is engineered for use in wood, masonry, drywall, and plastic substrates, making it a versatile choice for mixed-material exterior assemblies. Typical applications include attaching exterior trim, fastening composite or wood decking, securing furring strips to masonry, and anchoring structural components in residential and light commercial construction. The hex washer head provides bearing surface area that resists pull-through on softer materials, while the star drive reduces cam-out during installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, general contractors, or experienced DIYers using a hex driver or star drive bit sized to match the fastener head. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended when fastening near edges or into masonry to prevent substrate cracking. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment when driving fasteners into masonry or hard substrates. Follow applicable local building codes for fastener spacing and load requirements on structural assemblies.
